Tonight’s the night! Will you accept this rose?
Hello Happening Blog Babes!
It’s our first Monday of the new year and I say we kick it off in style. You’ll have not one chance to win a free book this week, but TWO! Your first chance will be this week’s Free Stuff Friday contest. Entry details below!
And your second chance? Why, tonight is the night! ABC launches the new season of The Bachelor and USA Todaylaunches my new weekly Bachelor Blog! So join me in the virtual hot tub, won’t you? I’ll bring the fruity umbrella drinks! I’ll be sending in a recap of all the escapades, touching moments and of course, the cray cray, leading up to the weekly most dramatic rose ceremony evah to USA Today on Monday nights after the show is over, then look for the blog to be posted by Tuesday morning. (Usually they show up in the wee hours Monday night.)
And that part about another chance to win a free book this week? It’s easy! Just leave a comment on my Bachelor Blog on the USA Today site and when a new episode rolls around next Monday, I’ll draw a name from all the commenters the previous week and announce it in that blog. Loook for different prizes to be given out each week. This first week, the winner will receive a copy of my latest release, BABYCAKES! (Print or digital.) Please accept my rose and join me for all the dish!
To enter the Free Stuff Friday contest: Send me an email to donna@donnakauffman.com with “New Year? New book!” in the subject line. I’ll draw a name from the pile o’ entries on Friday and announce the winner in Friday’s blog. Don’t forget to check back in to see if you’re a winner! Oh, and what do you win? A copy of ANY book from my website bookshelf! Print or digital. I know, right?
Check out the bookshelf here: Donna’s Bookshelf
In your email please include: the title you’d like to win, and if you’d prefer digital or print. For digital, let me know which format (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, etc) and the email address to send it to. For print, please include your address.
And that’s it! Easy, right??
The fun, the frolic, the tears, and the public displays of cattiness all start tonight with a big 2 hour premiere on ABC, 8PM EST and 7 Central time as Season 17′s bachelor, Sean Lowe, (already dubbed Captain America) goes lookin’ for love, quite possibly in all the wrong places…
Are you with me? Don’t send me into that mansion alone… 
I am ready to accept the rose! So Excited! It is set on my DVR
I am so glad to be able to be back to blogging with you Donna. I have been without a computer since early December and have missed your posts..
I will be sure to enter the weekly contest. ” programs. But good luck to all of those who do and good luck with your “Bachelor” blog. I know it is going to be a big hit.. American Idol starts soon and so does the new season of Smash.So if you are blogging about those, I will be sure to be sounding in on those.. And of course the Good Wife started the new season last night and I have it on my PVR and I am going to watch it right now…
Have a fun day.
Sorry but the Bachelor/Bachelorette series is something I no longer watch. But would love to enter the contest if that is ok.
Went over to the site; dont see where your blog post is over there.
Aw, thanks, Sharon! (And thanks for not sending me in there alone!)
Kathleen – good to have you back! I’ve done Idol for years (and it was Idol who got me blogging reality tv in the first place) but the past few seasons have left me underwhelmed, and I can’t stomach N. Minaj as a judge, so for the first time ever, I’m giving the show a pass. (Which worked out well when USA Today asked me to do The Bachelor!
I love Good Wife – you’re going to love last night’s ep!! It was sooo good!
Pat – I don’t have any Bachelor blogs up there yet. The link was just to show you where I’ll be nesting.
The show doesn’t start until tonight, so the first post will be up tomorrow. I’ll be posting a new blog once a week from then on, after the show has aired (on Monday nights.) New contest every week!
