I know that many of you are like me.  You love to find various sweepstakes on the internet that are easy to enter. I have come across one that I wanted to share.  Everyone knows Avery and their sticky notes.  Well, they have a new line of sticky notes that you can see through.  It makes it nice to be able to make notes about something without obscuring whatever it is that you are making notes about. So to help promote this new product, Avery is holding a HUGE sweepstakes.  They are giving away packs to 20,000 winners.  Yes, you read that right.  That is 20,000 winners.  That makes your chances that much better. And in addition to that, they are giving away to 5 lucky winners a special treat to the school of their choice, 100,000 Box Tops for Education vouchers.

Book Description   SOPHIE BARRETT THINKS SHE’S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. SHE MAY BE DEAD WRONG. On a sweltering summer afternoon, Sophie Barrett walks into a nightmare. A sniper has opened fire on a college campus. When the carnage is over, three people—plus the shooter—are dead and dozens more are injured. Sophie escapes virtually unscathed. Yet as details emerge from the investigation, she becomes convinced that this wasn’t the random, senseless act it appeared to be. No one wants to believe her—not the cops, not her colleagues at the Delphi Center crime lab, and definitely not Jonah Macon, the homicide detective who’s already saved her life once. Jonah has all kinds of reasons for hoping Sophie is mistaken. Involving himself with a key witness could derail an already messy investigation, not to mention jeopardize his career. But Sophie is as determined and fearless as she is sexy. If he can’t resist her, he can at least swear to protect her. Because if Sophie is right, she’s mad

Book Description   The Indiana Paranormal Investigators are spending a night in a gothic mansion on the outskirts of Cedar Point, Indiana. Four people are participating...only three remain in the morning. There have been other disappearances and homicides in the past related to the mansion. And the one common denominator has been the weather. FATAL STORM finds Dagger and his entourage spending a night at the mansion to seek answers. But they get more than they bargain for as another storm builds on the horizon. This is the fifth book in the Chase Dagger series which combines mystery with elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. Book Review   Even though this is the fifth book in the series, I did not feel lost at all.  I like when an author is capable of writing a series where each book can be read by itself and still stand on its own merits. Lee Driver has created a wonderful mystery that sucked me into the drama from the beginning.  There are great characters, tons of t
