A few days ago, I bought a set of cell phone straps because I had a charm that I wanted to use to make a cell phone charm for my lovely LG enV. The straps only came in a pack, so I had to buy more than one of them. Since I only needed one for myself, I decided to purchase a few more charms through Etsy to make some cell phone charms to give away. Since this is a book blog, I searched for book related charms.

So, I purchased a few Twilight charms from Winter Rose Designs (highly recommended seller) and put them together with the cell phone straps. Just like magic, Twilight Cell Phone Charms, though they can also be put on keychains or around rearview mirrors, etc. While I am not a fan of Twilight, I recognize that a lot of people are and would love items such as these. It might not be my thing, but I appreciate that people are reading and loving vampires!

These are the following charms I have (click for larger image):

1.) Cullen family crest

2.) Wolf

3.) Twilight apple

4.) Under a Vampire’s Spell

So now… GIVEAWAY!

I am very jealous of Michelle Moran. Not only has she walked through the The House of Augustus (my favorite historical figure), but she is an amazing writer who has brought life to women and eras that have fascinated people for centuries. Nefertiti… Cleopatra… the names are synonymous with beauty, femininity, and tragedy. Despite the tabloid like rumors of history, those very interesting stories that historians tell to make history worth knowing to those who otherwise would not care for it, these women were once real, alive, and complex. Not only does Moran talk about well known women, but she gives us the names and characters of some unknown but still impressive women: Nefertari and Selene.

I have been DYING to read Michelle Moran, especially Cleopatra’s Daughter because it takes place in my favorite period of history. And my heart does go pitter-patter when I think of Octavian (Augustus).

Which is why it brings me so much pleasure to bring to you an amazing contest, which has been offered by Michelle Moran herself. It’s awesome the way that Moran respects and values the book community, and you can tell that she loves to give to her fans because she has offered up TWO books to TWO readers of Morbid-Romantic.net.

Up for grabs is: a SIGNED hardcover copy of Cleopatra’s Daughter (synopsis) or a SIGNED paperback of The Heretic Queen (synopsis)!

There are a number of ways you can win this book, each good for one entry each. For each entry, leave me a separate comment. Also, make sure that you leave me a way to contact you if you win.
