DARLINGS.
IT IS TIME.
HERE IT IS! HERE WE GO! HOLY CRAP! WELCOME TO THE ABSOLUTE CRAY-EST NUTTIEST, OVER-THE-TOPPEST WTF THEY’RE DOING IT AGAIN GIANT-ASS BOOK GIVEAWAY HERE AT WOMEN AND WORDS THAT WE LOVINGLY CALL
THE HOOTENANNY!!!!!!!
OMG you guys. The merry elves have been ready to go for a while. Tucker has been doing his preparation things (I never know for sure what exactly he’s up to, but I’m sure it’s…well, whatever) and we’ve got the pizza delivery place on standby and we’ve stockpiled shit-tons (official Women and Words measurement) of eggnog and peppermint (elf fuel). The reindeer are into pizza and popcorn, which is fine by us. We’ve got that ready to go, too.

Welcome, friends, to HOOTENANNY 2017! All of you, whether you’ve been here before or this is your first time, we’re glad you’re here and having a bit of holiday respite from whatever it is that ails you (and yes, we know…take a number on that). But no worries! You’re among friends, now, and we are all about sharing the luv and fun. So grab your eggnog (don’t let the elves see) and a bunch of chocolate and maybe a pizza or two and have some happy fun times!
First things first. THANK YOU, JOVE, FOR YOUR AWESOME BANNERS! You guys, Jove does the banners every year. Are they not sexy-time? Show her some luv. 🙂
And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, authors and publishers, for your amazing, heartfelt, and beautiful generosity. We couldn’t do this without you, and we are always so humbled every year, to see the awesome that this event unleashes. It’s all on you, friends. Thank you.
And of course, THANK YOU to readers, because without you, what the hell is the point? THERE IS NO POINT. Without you, we wouldn’t be here. This is for you, and for everyone wanting to hang out on our virtual porch and engage in some happy fun times and share some luv. Welcome.
So here’s how this works, in case you’re new ’round here.
- Every day is a new giveaway. All different prizes. That means that in order to get in on it, you must enter each and every day. Don’t just enter on Day 1 and think OH I AM FINE FOR THE REST I WILL NOW GO LIE DOWN FOR A FEW DAYS AND DROWN MY SORROWS IN EGGNOG AND CANDY CANES NOOOOOOOOOOOOO my friends. Come back EVERY DAY to play.
- To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on the day’s blog. That’s it. Easy-peasy.
- One entry per person per day. Have all the convos you want (we encourage chatting and getting to know your virtual neighbors), but we’ll only count 1 of your comments.
- Make sure you provide a valid email address in the comment fill-out form. NOT IN THE COMMENT BODY. To ensure the ice giants from the No-Fun Zone don’t appropriate your email, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OPENLY IN THE COMMENTS. But do make sure you include a valid email address in the comment fill-out form. That’s how we contact winners, and that’s how authors and publishers will hook you up with your swag.
- Each day’s blog is up from 9 AM EST through 10 PM EST US time (here’s your world clock so you know when you are).
- We give the books and swag away in the order in which they appear on the page. So for example the first name we draw for the day wins the first item. The second the second. And so on. That keeps us from losing our collective minds if we tried to do selective drawings and all of that.
- We do the drawings right after we close for the day and we notify winners within 30-60 minutes of that drawing. Seriously. We do. Hard to believe that Jove, Andi, and the merry elves can get it together like that, but they do. Cuz they luuuuuuv you.
- We also post the winners’ names each day next to the prize they won, so if you see your name there but you haven’t received an email from us, CHECK YOUR SPAM FILTER. Every year we have people’s email accounts bury our emails in the dreaded purgatory of spam-land. So keep that in mind.
- If you see your name in the winner’s list but you haven’t gotten an email from us and you don’t see one in your spam filter, drop us an email at the Contact page here on the site and we will totally help you. We’re friendly like that.
- We put the author in touch with you, so your goodies will be coming direct from the author or publisher. Women and Words will handle the other swag.
- Postage — we know. It sucks that this is so expensive. If an author is offering paperbacks, we will specify where the author is willing to ship. Almost all are offering ebook options, too, so you should still be good to go. 🙂
And authors, if your book is listed below in the day’s booty, please do not enter the day’s drawing. Because that’s just icky, to win your own book. We’re sure you already have copies of it somewhere.
Got it? Good!
Let the merriment commence! AND HAPPY HANUKKAH! WOOOO! Today’s the first day! How cool is it that the first day of the Hootenanny coincided with the first day of Hanukkah this year? Pretty dang cool, we think.
(hint: “Let It Snow“)
OOOOOHHHH the elves are outside, it’s frightening
How much eggnog they drink, like lightning
But we’ve got a whole stash more
Let us pour, let us pour, let us pour!
OOOOHHHH we’re stacking the books, no stopping
The reindeer have corn for popping
The music’s turned way up high
And the speakers might fry, might fry
We’ve got plenty of books for you
How we love giving them away
Cuz here at the Hootenanny
Books are free, yes so free, yep FREE
AND NOW! BEHOLD! THE DAY ONE GOODIES! Have fun and good luck!

Jove and I were talking about this the other day. I think we got the idea for it around 2012 and I think that was our first (or maybe we started in 2011?) and then both of us had life issues that came up so we didn’t do it in 2013…? Not sure. And then we cranked up again in 2014. And now we just expect to do it every year!
