Best of 2013 Giveaway! Letitia & Paula Pick Their Favorites

by Letitia on Friday, December 20, 2013

Was it just us or did this year fly by? I suppose it probably helped that our noses were constantly buried between the pages of AWESOME books! Let me tell you, it was not easy to narrow down our favorites – but we did. And here they are, complete with crazy categories like: Best 'Where Did My Panties Go?' Erotica!

And, since it’s the season of giving and all – and we love our viewers very, very much – we’re going to give away two Kindle copies of any book below! Two winners, one book each. You pick your prize from one of the 38 books below!

Happy Holidays!
- Letitia & Paula
