EAT PRAY LOVE National Girls Night Out

Elizabeth Gilbert’s mega best-selling memoir EAT PRAY LOVE is hitting the big screen in a movie of the same name starring the delicious duo Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem next week.

Pause, drool, resume.

So to celebrate the movie premier on Friday, August, 13th, we’re asking our Book End Babe chapters around the country to host a special book club Girls Night Out. (See the full list in our Twitter directory.) We’re THRILLED to partner with Moroch & Associates to promote this story about a woman’s trip around the globe to find herself after a tough divorce and identity crisis rocks her world.

First, if you’re not an official Book End Babe chapter, I encourage you to join. We’re a sorority of lit sisters whose mission is to promote great reads, authors and girlfriends. This contest is open to our existing chapters, but we welcome new chapters! The more, the merrier.

I have EIGHT fabulous prizes so eight total lucky queen B’s (the hosts of our book club chapters). It’s first-come, first serve on the prizes. It’s up to you whether you want to keep the prize for yourself or do a drawing at your next book party.

HOW TO ENTER:
Host a Book End Babes EAT PRAY LOVE Girls Night Out, beginning Friday, August 13th. Doesn’t matter if you eat first, after, go for drinks, or what have you. Just get together and go see the movie! The first EIGHT queenBs to submit a photo of your event including AT LEAST THREE OF YOU and short summary of your night out and thoughts on what your gals had to say about the film. The first eight of you to do so will get to pick either a T-shirt or bracelet. We’re celebrating girlfriends so dates with your guys don’t count. :)

E-mail me at bookendbabes (at) me (dot) com with your photo and recap of your night and what your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice would be on your prize. LOOK AT THESE CUTE T-SHIRTS AND BRACELET. The shirts are fitted. The bracelets are one-size fits all. :)
I’ll keep you posted on Twitter and our Facebook page when we’ve reached our allotted number of winners. All winners will get some EPL bookmarks, too.

Good luck and enjoy the movie! The Bookettes (the fab BEB bloggers who keep this baby rockin’) are getting to see the movie early – next Tuesday – so we’ll post pics and give you our recap, too.

Books rock, gilfriends rule and girls night out at the movies based on a book we love is cool, too.

P.S. Special thanks to model Kendall Cook for showing off the prizes.
P.P.S. Yes, I’m hoping you’ll still read the book.

Name a Winery

by Malena Lott

object007If you love to name things and win prizes, this is the contest for you. I’m hosting a series of contests this summer to promote FIXER UPPER, a novel about girl power and power tools, set at a winery and vineyard in Oklahoma. Check out the contest details here on how to submit your names for the winery AND the names for the red and white wines. They’ll be put in the novel AND we’ll be private-labeling the wine for give-aways and parties this summer. Yep, from an Oklahoma winery. How cool is that?

If you’re the winner, you’ll also get a character named after you in the book as well as a bottle of the wine. If your name for the red and white wine is picked, you’ll receive a beach tote bag.

I’m also looking for Fixer Uppers to feature on my blog at malenalott.com so if you’ve done a renovation or remodel project at your home you’d like to share with us, send it in and if you’ll be entered to win a grand prize pack at the end of the summer.

To wine, wrenches and women –
xo,
Malena
