Contest: Joss Ware for the win!

So, absolutely anyone is eligible to enter the contest, provided they can received mail as I will be sending actual books out. There will be 5 questions, and participants must answer ALL questions or they will not be entered in the drawing. Contest ends noon CST on Sunday, June 20th. Sooo, are you ready?


  1. If the world was being destroyed and only one area (city, country, state) on the planet survived, and you along with it, where would you want it to be?

  2. What item is at the top of your Bucket List (things to do before you die)?

  3. What survival items would you always keep in your purse?

  4. Would you rather forego: technology, a closetful of clothes, or books?

  5. Which hottie(s) would survive the destruction along with you? (You know I had to ask that! *g*)

So, now go forth and enter! GOOD LUCK!

  1. If the world was being destroyed and only one area (city, country, state) on the planet survived, and you along with it, where would you want it to be?

    I would pick California because its alot warmer than Alberta and if I was going to be the only one to survive I don't want to have to deal with snow lol

    What item is at the top of your Bucket List (things to do before you die)?

    Travel to the 20+ places I want to go to

    What survival items would you always keep in your purse?

    Cell phone and lip chap...not really very survial but would come in handy

    Would you rather forego: technology, a closetful of clothes, or books?

    closetful of clothes

    Which hottie(s) would survive the destruction along with you? (You know I had to ask that! *g*)

    Orlando Bloom and Johny Depp :)


  2. Ready, set, go!

    Tough one..ok Ireland, cos its' pretty, I could farm *cough* and well it's pretty.

    Go to Ireland (I am starting to see a theme)

    Are we talking know or after the catastrophe? Cos cellphone then, but if bigger then...floss and a lighter

    EVIL!...clothes.

    Richard Armitage *swoons*


  3. First, thanks so much for letting get to know Joss better! Looking forward to catching up on these books!

    Now for the questions:
    I have to say California, partly because immediate family and friends are already there, and also it's got a fabulous mix of people and culture and weather.

    Traveling the world (one or two places at a time) is on the Bucket List. And I would say getting through my TBR, but that's just wishful thinking ;)

    Cellphone, although no guarantee that it's charged; lip balm; baby wipes; ballpoint pen... depending on the day, also paper clips; crayons; scratch paper...

    I'd definitely rather forego the clothes! (One might argue that I already do... ;))

    My hubby, please!


  4. Whee, fun contest!

    1) I'd want to be in Hawai'i - it's a gorgeous, self-contained area.
    2) Go to backpack through Asia, especially Japan.
    3) Barring the usual technology, lots and lots of tissue packs, antibacterial wipes/hand gel, knives, MRE's...possibly a handgun or two. xD
    4) Easy question. The clothes.
    5) Super hard question. Hugh Jackman, Jason Statham and other such yummy men. :3


  5. f the world was being destroyed and only one area (city, country, state) on the planet survived, and you along with it, where would you want it to be?
    Oh, that's easy. Right where I am now. Granite Falls, NC

    What item is at the top of your Bucket List (things to do before you die)? Believe it or not, not a thing.

    What survival items would you always keep in your purse?
    A knife and matches

    Would you rather forego: technology, a closetful of clothes, or books?
    Clothes of course

    Which hottie(s) would survive the destruction along with you? My hubby

  6. Firstly, thank you for 3 great posts. I've been wanting to try this series.

    1- Pacific Northwest for me. Just a beautiful area with access to mountains and water.

    2- Top of my Bucket list...fall in love for real and forever. I feel like Charlotte from S&TC, "I've been dating for 15 years, where is he?!?!" LOL! :)

    3- Toothbrush/paste & my eyeglasses.

    4- Easy one, would forgo the clothes.

    5- Hotties to survive: Daniel Day-Lewis...I dunno, I just *lurve* him. And maybe, Derek Jeter, too.

  7. I just had to give my luck a try :)

    If the world was being destroyed and only one area (city, country, state) on the planet survived, and you along with it, where would you want it to be?

    For some reason Australia comes to mind; great weather, wonderful nature and culture. I could so see myself in the outback, on a ranch *grin*

    What item is at the top of your Bucket List (things to do before you die)?

    I want to travel to Australia, visit New Orleans and inhale the Scottish Highlands :)

    What survival items would you always keep in your purse?

    a knife.

    Would you rather forego: technology, a closetful of clothes, or books?

    Probably technology *said in a careful voice*

    Which hottie(s) would survive the destruction along with you? (You know I had to ask that! *g

    Can I bring my book harem with me? and Julian McMahon and Hugh Jackman. Not that I am greedy or anything, I'm just a high maitenance kind of gal LOL


  8. I am so hoping to win these books. I've had them on my wishlist for a long time. As to my answers....
    1. I'd want to be in the Midwest-like Nebraska-where the population is less and where there's more open space to be self-sufficient. It's easier to be anonymous if you want.
    2. My number one item is to visit Scotland and see what's really being worn under kilts.
    3. My must-have purse items are...duct tape, aspirin, swiss army knife, cell phone, lip gloss, sunscreen, bottle of water, and tampons.
    4. I agree with the group and say clothes. I could always use a blanket and my duct tape to make a dress afterall.
    5. Jensen Ackles--my sweet Dean Winchester. He's sexy, funny, and good in a fight.


  9. Awesome Questions, It Got Me To Use My Brains....^_^.

    1) I Would Have To Say Boston, Massachusetts US. I Thought About Hawaii But If It Was An Apocalypse That Happened Being Surrounded By That Water Would Do Me No Good. I Am Used To MA So I Would At Least Have Home Field Advantage If Anything Was To Happen.

    2) Write A Book. That Is Something I Have Always Wanted To Do.

    3) Hand Sanitizer, Chapstick, A Hair Brush, And A Small First Aid Kit.

    4) A Closet Full Of Clothes. I Can't Live Without Books Or Technology.

    5) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Gerard Butler, And Orlando Bloom.
