New "Name-the-Blog" Contest

Posted by Jessica | 3:46 PM | | 16 comments »

On February 1, 2010, Book Talk with J & J is changing blog formats. After much discussion, we've decided to narrow the focus of the blog to featuring romance novels. This will include erotica and chick-lit (women's fiction) books. We will have the occasional non-romance promo (no more than 2 a month) for a little variety.

We've decided the direction of the blog, but now we need your help in renaming our site. Here are a couple guidelines:
1. The name can not already be in use. So, before offering your suggestion, Google the name.
2. It has to reflect the new theme of the blog -- books of the romance genre.
3. We'd prefer if the name was short, but it's not a requirement.
4. Post your suggestion here or email it to contests.bookblog@gmail.com. If you post here, please leave a way to contact you if you're chosen as the winner.

To offer up some incentive, I'm giving away 2 of the following books and acknowledgment on the blog to the winner:
- an ARC (advanced reading copy) of Angel Lane by Sheila Roberts
- Night's Kiss by Amanda Ashley
- Nerds Like It Hot by Vicki Lewis Thompson
- The Perfect Match by Kimberly Cates
- What a Lady Wants by Victoria Alexander
- The Pirate Lord by Sabrina Jeffries
(an alternate romance novel off my personal bookshelf can be substituted for any of the titles)

The contest will end on Sunday, October 18 with the winner being announced by Sunday, October 25.

    Question, will it still be open to guys (like me) who are into paranormal romance and regency romances? Because all those titles sound a little too 'femme' for me.

    Cheers, Rodrigo

    Thanks to everyone who gave us suggestions. Jessica and I will look these over, discuss and announce a winner next Sunday.

    Rodrigo, we're going to try our best to not be too "femme". In fact, we're going to feature one or two non-romance books/authors each month to keep variety on the blog.

    We'll keep you all updated...

    We decided to go with a name that was not suggested here. However, we really liked Lulu's suggestions, so she's our contest winner.

    Lulu, watch your email for a message from admin.bookblog@gmail.com.
