Sweet Siren Contest

As many of you know, I’m hosting a series of contests to celebrate the upcoming release of The Season of Silver Linings. This is the third book in the series and my favorite story yet. Like Sweet Lake and The Comfort of Secrets this latest installment in the saga of fictional Sweet Lake, Ohio, focuses on the three young women who are returning the historic Wayfair Inn from near bankruptcy to its former glory. While this is very much Jada’s story, readers will have an opportunity to revisit her co-managers of the inn, Linnie and Cat. All three women will encounter life-altering changes in a story that revolves around a series of startling and unexpected secrets.

Now, for our latest contest: The Grand Prize winner will receive a bundle of Siren-inspired goodies, including a tote bag, a copy of Sweet Lake or The Comfort of Secrets (winner’s choice), a Wayfair Inn magnet, Siren-in-Training coffee mug and a pretty bookmark. The Second Place Winner will receive a Wayfair Inn magnet and a bookmark.

To enter: please leave a comment below listing your favorite place to read. Winners will be announced in my May newsletter. If you haven’t yet signed up to receive the newsletter, please do so here.

For ten extra points toward the Sweet Siren Contest, send proof of your preorder for The Season of Silver Linings to christine@christinenolfi.com. Please write SWEET CELEBRATION in the subject line. If you’ve already sent proof of your preorder for the April contest, you needn’t send it again: I’m keeping a running log of readers who have preordered, and will apply their extra 10 points to each contest leading up to the book’s July release.

Would you like to read an except from The Season of Silver Linings? You’ll find one here.

Thank you for entering the Sweet Siren Contest. Good luck!

    My all-time favorite place to read is the corner of my sofa, next to my balcony, in my living room. I get to read in comfort while gazing out at the beautiful West Virginia hills across the river from me. Having said that, any comfortable or even uncomfortable seat will work in a pinch.

    • Betsy Agee on May 2, 2018 at 11:48 am

      my favorite place to read in in a big comfy chair in my living room. I snuggle down and read in comfort and have a view of the Brazos River valley and my little hometown in TEXAS.

      • Leanne on May 10, 2018 at 9:51 am

        My favorite place to read is under a shade tree beside the ocean. Dappled sunshine, soft breeze and a great book!

  2. Audrey W. on April 30, 2018 at 10:05 am

    Reading is an activity I can enjoy anywhere, but my favorite place is a comfy chair in my den. It overlooks a bay window, and while it’s not especially fancy, it’s cozy. Perfect for reading your sweet stories, Christine!

  3. Susan Marshall on April 30, 2018 at 10:18 am

    My absolute favorite place to read is sitting at the ocean. Nothing makes me happier. Thanks for the chance it’s such a generous giveaway.

  4. Kathy W. on April 30, 2018 at 10:20 am

    Right now my favorite place to read is in bed. But, we are getting a new chaise couch and I have a feeling that will be my new favorite place to read.

  5. Rhonda on April 30, 2018 at 10:20 am

    My comfy cozy bed ????????????

  6. Yvonne Cruz on April 30, 2018 at 10:20 am

    Reading and exercise have alway been my escape and “happy place” since I was 8 years old. The discoveries and places I’ve been taken have been wonderful

  7. Stacy Chavoya on April 30, 2018 at 10:21 am

    My favor place to read is on my front porch in my hammock chair. Especially early in the morning when the air is crisp and the birds are chirping.

  8. Linda Kish on April 30, 2018 at 10:21 am

    I like to read in my room, on my bed. I have an adjustable bed so I can get it in just the right position and relax with my dog and my book. No one bothers me there.

  9. Stephanie on April 30, 2018 at 10:22 am

    My all time favorite place to read is at the beach but since I can’t be there everyday yet, I curl up on my sofa with a cup of coffee or tea and a blanket. Sometimes my cat will curl up with me. ????

  10. Rebecca Wasniak on April 30, 2018 at 10:22 am

    I love reading on our yellow floral couch because it’s as wide as a twin bed and sits in the sunniest room of our home!

  11. Noreen on April 30, 2018 at 10:25 am

    I have a lounger off my kitchen that has surrounding windows. You’ll most likely find me there reading with a beverage.

  12. Christine Moore on April 30, 2018 at 10:25 am

    If it is warm and sunny I love to read in my backyard. Any other time I like to sit on my couch and read. I have a reading light, table to hold my drink, and it is super comfy to curl up and read for hours. Thank you for the contest and I am looking forward to the next book in the series!!!

  13. Sarah Rothman on April 30, 2018 at 10:25 am

    If at home, then in bed snuggled up, but otherwise definitely by a pool or on a beach ????????????

  14. Sheri Lemay on April 30, 2018 at 10:27 am

    Curled up on my couch with a blanket and a pet or sitting on my patio looking at my flowers in the summer.

  15. Tina Myers on April 30, 2018 at 10:27 am

    Where I love to read..In the summer I love sitting on my swing on my porch. It’s really quite and peaceful on my porch. In the winter in front of my fireplace or on my couch looking outside.

  16. Jamie Steadman on April 30, 2018 at 10:27 am

    I like reading my books in bed, but I read everywhere.

  17. Andrea Stoeckel on April 30, 2018 at 10:28 am

    I love to read on our new couch that reclines.

  18. Kelley Blair on April 30, 2018 at 10:29 am

    My favorite place to read is the beach. If I can’t be on the beach then in my bed will do!!

  19. Nancy Gawron on April 30, 2018 at 10:29 am

    My favorite place to read is in my big cozy chair in the living room. My feet go on the foot stool, and my mind goes wherever the book takes me. Since everyone uses the family room, the living room is all mine!

  20. Jane Beeman on April 30, 2018 at 10:29 am

    My favorite place to read is the beach (if I ever get there in the near future); but for now I’m content reading in bed during the Winter months and when it gets warmer, my deck under an umbrella w/a cold drink, alcoholic or otherwise!

  21. Suellen Christian on April 30, 2018 at 10:32 am

    I read just about anywhere including while at my desk. Love everything you write.

  22. Katie Hassall on April 30, 2018 at 10:32 am

    I am still in the season of driving my youngest son everywhere, so right now my favorite spot to read is my car while waiting for him.

  23. Karen Komarinski on April 30, 2018 at 10:34 am

    Depending on the season I have two favorite places: spring and summer I love to sit on the porch swing and read. Fall and winter snuggle in the corner chair in front of the window with a cup of hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate.

  24. Judy Tucker on April 30, 2018 at 10:34 am

    My favorite place is my comfy chair in my living room

  25. Katie Chapman on April 30, 2018 at 10:35 am

    My favorite place to read is a quiet room with a blanket and a warm cup of coffee or tea. Any quiet room will do, I’m not picky! As long as it is quiet and not full of my rambunctious kidlets, I’m good!

  26. Barb Zenger on April 30, 2018 at 10:38 am

    I always have my books with me so I can read anywhere. When I am at home my favorite place is the sofa with some soft music.

  27. Sandra De Steno on April 30, 2018 at 10:41 am

    I love to read in the sunshine on my back deck.

  28. Audrey Brinkley on April 30, 2018 at 10:42 am

    My favorite place to read besides, uh, everywhere? I would have to say in my cozy chair and a half in my bedroom. Super soft, lots of pillows.

  29. Carole Newton on April 30, 2018 at 10:42 am

    I read every night, in my bed, before I go to sleep. When I am in Arizona, I like to sit out on our covered patio and read while the bunnies and hummingbirds come to visit. Smelling the orange blossoms and a tall lemonade and book in hand gives me such a high! Thanks for the giveaway!

  30. Pamela Vogt on April 30, 2018 at 10:42 am

    I would love to be able to sit on the beach and read but that is not possible where I live. So, in the summer I take my chair and iPad to a park, stopping for a cool drink on the way, and can sit for hours reading. Love the outdoors and the sounds of nature. I have a nice back porch so on sunny days it is a great place to read in the quiet. In the winter months I have my favorite recliner, my little yorkie curled up on my lap, and let the reading begin.

  31. Sharon Haan on April 30, 2018 at 10:42 am

    I can read just about anywhere, even in the bathtub (librarians hate to hear this!!), but my favorite place to read is curled up on my leather loveseat, alone in the house, cup of coffee or tea at my side!

  32. Pat Wilson on April 30, 2018 at 10:43 am

    I take my Kindle everywhere I go. But at home I have a comfortable chair on eh patio if it’s nice weather or my office “actually bedroom”

  33. Angela Guerrero on April 30, 2018 at 10:43 am

    My favorite place to read is in my cozy bed!!

  34. Carolyn on April 30, 2018 at 10:44 am

    In the summer time I like to read outside and in the winter time in my chair by the fireplace.

  35. Donna Burfield on April 30, 2018 at 10:44 am

    I love to read on my front porch swing while watching hummingbirds. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this wonderful giveaway.

  36. Andra Baley on April 30, 2018 at 10:46 am

    For me, any spot where I can read is my favorite spot. For awhile, I did most of my reading while commuting on the subway to and from work. That was my favorite spot then.

  37. Debbie Severe on April 30, 2018 at 10:48 am

    In bed with my nook

  38. Jennifer on April 30, 2018 at 10:48 am

    I don’t really have a go-to place for reading. As long as there aren’t too many distractions I’m happy.

  39. Cathy Garrison on April 30, 2018 at 10:48 am

    During the winter it’s under the covers curled up on bed but in the summer it’s outside by the pool. Actually it’s in the pool on a raft! Thank you for this opportunity!

  40. Ellie Wright on April 30, 2018 at 10:50 am

    My favorite place to read is in the rocker on my back patio.

    • Jennifer Kayes on April 30, 2018 at 10:53 pm

      My favorite place is here in my recliner. We have 5 acres of land. 3 deer just walked on by. Thanks for the chance

  41. Maria Smith on April 30, 2018 at 10:51 am

    During the spring and early summer I love to read curled up in my hammock other than that I can be found on my big comfy couch!

    Thanks so much!

  42. Shelley C on April 30, 2018 at 10:53 am

    My favorite place to read is out on the deck. We are surrounded with beautiful trees, a view of a lake & the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the distance.

  43. Kim Kight on April 30, 2018 at 10:54 am

    I love to read in bed, curled up on the sofa, and this time of year is my favorite, outside on the back porch!

  44. Lisa Hudson on April 30, 2018 at 10:57 am

    My favorite place to read is the same as it’s been ALL my life – ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!! I always have a ebook or book (or both) & read a few pages while: riding in the car, during commercial breaks, while I’m cooking & waiting a few minutes for something to brown or whatever, while I’m waiting in the vehicle for one or more of my people (you have no idea how much I’ve read doing this!), after everyone else has gone to sleep, while in the bathroom, used to read in the whirlpool tub but I sacrificed too many books!, waiting in Drs’ offices, waiting anywhere, yes I’ve been busted many times for reading on my iPhone while waiting for our meal at a restaurant!, at the beach, while my family is watching something I’m not interested in or something we’ve seen 10,000 times! I read any second I can!

  45. Diane Dicke on April 30, 2018 at 10:58 am

    My favorite place to read is on my front porch or by the fireplace when it’s cold.

  46. Janet Graham on April 30, 2018 at 11:01 am

    I love to read while curled up in bed. But, I can read longer if I am sitting at my computer like a real person.

  47. Alicia Day on April 30, 2018 at 11:06 am

    I like to read in bed.

  48. Ruth Ann Campbell on April 30, 2018 at 11:07 am

    I always read in my recliner in my new Kindle Fire 8. I’m allergic and ready to read a great book.

  49. Teresa Christianson on April 30, 2018 at 11:08 am

    In the winter my favorite place to read is my couch and in summer it is on my balcony if weather is nice

  50. Sue Spiess on April 30, 2018 at 11:09 am

    Depending on what time of year it is, I LOVE to read in front of the fireplace, my cat Bentley on my lap, into the wee hours of the night. During the summer months I love to grab a lounge chair and read outside while enjoying the smells and sounds of sweet summertime.

  51. Tracy Shafer on April 30, 2018 at 11:10 am

    Mine is in my comfy recliner.

  52. Laurie on April 30, 2018 at 11:13 am

    My very favorite place to read is laying on the beach. So peaceful!

  53. Cindy on April 30, 2018 at 11:13 am

    I love to read on my sofa, with my two pups and a cozy throw!

  54. Melodie Bennett on April 30, 2018 at 11:17 am

    Snuggled in my bed. I got a new mattress recently so my bed is really dangerously comfortable!

  55. Yvonne Rahn on April 30, 2018 at 11:22 am

    My favorite place to read is by water or outside where i can just lose myself in nature and the book

  56. Sandra Spilecki on April 30, 2018 at 11:23 am

    I enjoy reading in my “since my children were born” rocking chair. If I get twitchy I can
    rock my way through the most suspenseful story without missing a word.

  57. Mary Hoffmann on April 30, 2018 at 11:24 am

    My favorite place is the bathtub….wine and bubbles and a good book 😉

  58. Marsha Drennen on April 30, 2018 at 11:32 am

    My favorite place to read is late at night in bed with the dog on one side and the cat on the other and of course my husband sound asleep.

  59. Connie Fischer on April 30, 2018 at 11:33 am

    I have a big, comfy chair that reclines. With the ceiling fan on and lots of light from my lanai overlooking a lake, I could read all day. With a glass of iced tea and a kitty or two to snuggle with, this is my favorite spot ever!

  60. Deborah Murrill Blanchard on April 30, 2018 at 11:34 am

    My favorite place to read is either laying in bed, nice and comfy, or at the beach soaking up the rays while reading a great book by you!

  61. Angie Rosales on April 30, 2018 at 11:34 am

    My favorite place to read is on our font deck with a cup of tea!

  62. Angie Rosales on April 30, 2018 at 11:36 am

    On our front deck with a cup of tea!

  63. Mary Gleason on April 30, 2018 at 11:42 am

    My favorite place to read is on my love seat!

  64. Kathleen O on April 30, 2018 at 11:42 am

    I love to curl up on the sofa in the cold weather and when it gets warm enough I like to read in the back yard.

  65. Mary Gleason on April 30, 2018 at 11:43 am

    Thank you.

  66. Bonnie Anderson on April 30, 2018 at 11:47 am

    I love reading anywhere but my adjustable bed at night is where I read most. I also love reading in my lounge couch and on my patio in a chaise lounge.

  67. Alisha Collins on April 30, 2018 at 11:48 am

    My favorite place to read is in my bed snuggled up with my furry babies but if I can get my hands on a book I will read anywhere.

  68. Leanna Mattea on April 30, 2018 at 11:50 am

    I enjoy reading on my small patio or in bed before I go to sleep. As long as I’m reading, I’m happy.

  69. kathy grodin on April 30, 2018 at 11:50 am

    I enjoy reading anywhere. I’ll read from my recliner overlooking my complex or by the pool after my walking exercise where it’s sunny ,the birds are chirping and all is peaceful.

  70. Becky Ward on April 30, 2018 at 11:50 am

    I usually read in my bed but lately I been reading in my comfy recliner chair in the living room.

  71. Bonnie Anderson on April 30, 2018 at 11:50 am

    I love reading anywhere but mostly read in my comfy adjustable bed, my lounge couch or my chaise lounge on my patio, where I have lovely views of the mountain and small lake behind my house. Of course, I am so engrossed in my book I hardly see the view!

  72. Carol on April 30, 2018 at 12:00 pm

    My favourite place to read is in my bed, where it is nice and quiet

  73. Sabina Edwards on April 30, 2018 at 12:01 pm

    Being old, I like to read in the bath LOL, IN the summer time (if and when we have that)I will read outside, but usually its just too windy or cold out

  74. Niki on April 30, 2018 at 12:04 pm

    My favorite place to read is curled up on the couch next to my hubby and pup after the kids are in bed. It might not be exotic or exciting but there is something wonderful about that level of comfort. My hubby is also a big reader and enjoying his companionship and reading books are two of my favorite things! <3

  75. Melanie Falconer on April 30, 2018 at 12:10 pm

    I can read anywhere but one of my favorite places to read is in my bed before i go to sleep.

  76. Natalya Lakhno on April 30, 2018 at 12:13 pm

    Who said beds are for sleeping 🙂 they are for reading – my favorite spot and the most comfortable. Thank you Christine!

  77. Linda Moore on April 30, 2018 at 12:14 pm

    I can read anywhere but my favorite place is relaxing in my recliner with my earplugs in listening to music. I’ve found so many songs that would go great with different books I’ve read. Love your books so much. This series is GREAT! Thanks so much for this chance to win.

  78. bonnie massicotte on April 30, 2018 at 12:15 pm

    If I have a chance during day to read its in my big comfy recliner rocker, otherwise my nightly ritual is to read for [hopefully] one hour only, in my bed, with pooch snuggled beside, before shutting lights off for night.

  79. Beverly Laude on April 30, 2018 at 12:18 pm

    I read everywhere, but my favorite place is on our back deck here in the mountains of New Mexico

  80. Linda Hall on April 30, 2018 at 12:18 pm

    My favorite place to read is my reclining lift-chair in my living room, early in the morning before anyone else is up and there are no distractions. I usually read for a couple of hours each morning on my Kindle because I can adjust the font size instead of being limited to only books that are printed in Large Print.

  81. Kathy Aden on April 30, 2018 at 12:23 pm

    I love to read anywhere, anytime. However, my favorite place to read is on the front patio. Of course this is May through October. Our patio overlooks Standley Lake and has a view of the Rocky Mountains. My goldfinches have feeders just off the patio in an aspen tree. They sing to me while I read! Truly my favorite place in the world. November through April will find me curled up on my cozy couch in front of the fireplace with my little dogs in my lap.

  82. Jo Ann Hunter on April 30, 2018 at 12:23 pm

    My favorite place to read is my living room couch.

  84. HOTCHA1/LINDA B on April 30, 2018 at 12:28 pm

    My den. sunroom or under my oak tree

  85. peggy clayton on April 30, 2018 at 12:32 pm

    I like to read anywhere Dr offices, waiting for my husband while he is inside the store,outside,in bed,but my absolute fav place is my recliner in the front room with my pups asleep on me. There is a window so close I can hear the birds when I turn the page. It is just the best background noise and so comfortable.

  86. Audrey Stewart on April 30, 2018 at 12:33 pm

    Now that the weather is nice, I love my hammock. I can lay there for hours and read, if I had the time.

  87. Karren Jeske on April 30, 2018 at 12:38 pm

    My favorite place to read is in my backyard hammock.

  88. Susan Taylor on April 30, 2018 at 12:47 pm

  89. Becky on April 30, 2018 at 12:53 pm

  96. Phyllis Lamken on April 30, 2018 at 1:33 pm

    My favorite spot is in bed. I have a big reading pillow to prop myself up. I love my bedroom, it is a sanctuary.

  97. Janet Senk on April 30, 2018 at 1:34 pm

    I usually read in my wing chair in front of my oak unit bookcase, or in bed. I read at least 2-3 books a week (if they are good writings), and peruse many author’s websites and GoodReads to find more books. Thanks for this contest, I would love to win.

  98. Barbara Tobey on April 30, 2018 at 1:39 pm

    My recliner is my usual place to read. I read anywhere and everywhere, so wherever is my favorite at the moment.

  99. fran churchill on April 30, 2018 at 1:45 pm

    two spots, so one is the corner of the couch where I have a snuggie, pillows, and a place to put a cup of coffee or tea. the other is outside on the porch in the sun. I love reading.

  100. Linda McLean on April 30, 2018 at 1:46 pm

    My favorite place is in my old-fashioned rocking chair in front of my apartment living room window. It looks out over a grassy area and down the street from our cul-de-sac. Makes for easy spot to lose myself in books!

  101. Maureen Swope on April 30, 2018 at 1:48 pm

    I think I May have already done this.. My favorite place to read is my front room recliner…I am a Kindle reader now and much as I prefer being out doors…mine is not readable with the sunlight and I don’t drive it I definitely would say the beach…but where ever I am is a better, happier time with a good book!!!!!

  102. Janet Crossen on April 30, 2018 at 1:56 pm

    My favorite place to read is in my love seat recliner. Beside me is a cup of freshly ground, locally roasted, hot, black coffee, and my two small dogs are asleep on my lap. Paradise.

  103. Jeanne M Felfe on April 30, 2018 at 2:06 pm

    It depends on the season. During late spring, summer, and fall, my favorite place is down by my pool. When it’s cooler (or cold) it’s on the lounger in the living room. I never read in bed.

  104. April Donley on April 30, 2018 at 2:08 pm

    My favorite place to read is curled up in bed but I read anywhere and everywhere. Thanks for the chance. It’s a great package.

  109. Carol Vickers on April 30, 2018 at 2:46 pm

    I love to read at my in-laws cabin in a chair overlooking the beautiful Bras d’Or Lakes in picturesque Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia Canada. It is so peaceful and relaxing. A piece of Heaven on Earth! ????????????

  110. Philomena Callan on April 30, 2018 at 2:52 pm

    My favourite place to read is in my conservatory ( I joke that my partner built it for me just so I got somewhere to read).

    My partners putting a patio down in the garden for me so I can read in the sun 🙂

  111. Diana Fahrenbruck on April 30, 2018 at 2:53 pm

    I have a “guest” bed upstairs in the room we call the office. It is surrounded by bookcases and is where we store all our extra pillows so it’s a cozy nook. In the summer I open the door to the outside, in the winter we just pile the extra duvet and blankets. There’s a small table that is perfect for tea (or Diet Coke) to the side of the bed. I could stay there all weekend.

  150. Tricia Gilbert on April 30, 2018 at 8:50 pm

  163. Bambi on April 30, 2018 at 10:51 pm

  164. Susi Galley on April 30, 2018 at 10:52 pm

    Well, up till now, it had been my fave spot on the end of the sofa – in fact there is a dent in the sofa made by my elbow propping me up 🙂
    But …..2 weeks ago we got a rescue dog and she has claimed my spot from day one. Every time I she snoozes somewhere else and I sneak there she immediately comes after and squeezes herself between me and the sofa and then pushes me off with her paws. So my fave spot is now someone elses fave spot and I will need to find a new one.
    The other end of the sofa is much narrower and simply not comfortable as well as I would have to lie on my right side and I need to be on my left. I am on a Quest now ….

  165. Michelle Willms on April 30, 2018 at 10:53 pm

    I love to read snuggled in my bed, under my blankets, surrounded by my furbabies. Thank you, so very much for all you do for us. Your stories bring so much joy into so many lives. I know when I read your work, my heart swells with happiness.

    These days I prefer to snuggle up in my bed under the covers with a cup of coffee & my kindle.
