Mini-Contest #6– the Penultimate Contest!

Only two days left to go until BLOOD LILY!!!!!!

Since this whole “pick your own adventure thing” seemed to work rather well yesterday, let’s do it again today. Tomorrow, in honor of Blood Lily’s imminent release, I’ll be posting a short excerpt from The Betrayal of the Blood Lily.

What would you most like to see: Penelope and Alex, Penelope and Freddy, or Eloise and Colin?

One commenter will be chosen at random to receive a hardcover copy of The Temptation of the Night Jasmine.

  1. Again, I’ll take anything :) but I guess Penelope and Alex would be my first choice as the are the hero/heroine of the moment.

    by Rachel on January 10th, 2010 at 2:33 pm

  2. My vote is for Penelope and Freddy.

    by AngelB on January 10th, 2010 at 2:37 pm

  3. Oh, it has to be Eloise and Colin. I’m burning to read more of their story. Those little bits always leave me wanting more!

  4. I’m a big sucker for Eloise and Colin. Especially because its such a slow moving romance, taking place across books, that I devour anything I can about them!

    by Sealz on January 10th, 2010 at 2:40 pm

  5. Eloise and Colin - I am dying to see what happens with them.

    by Rachel R. on January 10th, 2010 at 2:40 pm

  6. I would like a Penelope and Freddy excerpt! I can’t wait to know why Freddy is not the hero in this novel… I wonder why Alex is?
    Maybe Alex will end up with Penelope but if so, what about Freddy?
    Anyway, I’m so excited to read this book and find out Penelope’s story. Also, thank you for writing another novel in between this one and the seventh about Turnip and Jane Austen. It looks amazing also. :)

  7. Penelope and Freddy.

    by Heather on January 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm

  8. Eloise and Colin please!

    by Allison on January 10th, 2010 at 2:52 pm

  9. Penelope and Alex. I can’t wait to learn more about them.

    by Carolyn on January 10th, 2010 at 2:53 pm

  10. Eloise and Colin! I’ve been dying to know what they’ve been up to. ;)

    by Tanya on January 10th, 2010 at 3:07 pm

  11. I’m dying to know more about Eloise and Colin! Sometime I read back through the books only focusing on their chapters to decipher the feelings imbedded in their movements and words! I need more! :)

    by Catherine on January 10th, 2010 at 3:32 pm

  12. Pen and Alex please!

    by Elizabeth aka Miss Eliza on January 10th, 2010 at 3:32 pm

  13. Penelope and Alex.

    by Jessica on January 10th, 2010 at 3:35 pm

  14. Definitely Penelope and Alex. I should probably not rub it in that I’ve already read it. But having mentioned it now, trust me that we want to see Pen & Alex!

    by Susan on January 10th, 2010 at 3:40 pm

  15. Eloise and Colin

    by Lauren on January 10th, 2010 at 3:47 pm

    by Cassie on January 10th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

  17. Pen and Alex! I’d love a preview of Blood Lily… I can’t wait…so this will help make me a little patient. :)

    by Natasha on January 10th, 2010 at 3:54 pm

  18. Penelope and Alex sounds great to me!

    by Stephanie Giancola on January 10th, 2010 at 4:02 pm

  19. Guess all of the above is out. . . ah, how about Eloise and Colin :)

    Lois

    by Lois M. on January 10th, 2010 at 4:04 pm

  20. Ooo such a hard decision. But I’d have to pick Eloise and Colin because we get too see so little of them in the books.

    by Alyson on January 10th, 2010 at 4:07 pm

  21. penelope and alex, they’re going to be fun to see together

    by ana on January 10th, 2010 at 4:11 pm

    by Cait on January 10th, 2010 at 4:24 pm

  25. Eloise and Colin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    by Alex on January 10th, 2010 at 4:26 pm

  26. Eloise and Colin! I’m afraid to read anything about Pen and Alex or Pen and Freddy until I read the book, haha.

    by Ashlee on January 10th, 2010 at 4:56 pm

  27. Penelope and Alex, they look like they will be great fun to see together.

    by J on January 10th, 2010 at 5:03 pm

  28. Penelope and Freddy. I’m very intrigued about them after you posted that chapter way back in the naming days of the contest.

    by Kristen on January 10th, 2010 at 5:20 pm

  29. Penn and Freddy, please! Above all, if it’s a passage in which he gets his comeuppance. I’m already scrunching my nose and sticking my tongue out at him since Night Jasmine.

    by Anne K on January 10th, 2010 at 5:26 pm

  30. Penelope and Alex. They seem to have such a Beatrix-and-Benedict kind of relationship, complicated by the fact that she’s already married.

    That said, I’ll be happy with any excerpt you choose!

    Waiting eagerly,

    Jane
