On the First Day of Christmas...

On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree...

It's time for the first contest of the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway-a-Day. And, no, it's not a partridge in a pear tree. But thanks for paying attention!

Today's prize is a hardback copy of The Princess Present: A Princess Diaries Book by Meg Cabot.

About the Book (from Amazon.com): "Mia would give all the jewels in Genovia for the perfect present

Every year, Princess Mia spends the holidays in Genovia with Grandmere. This year, she's looking forward to the most perfect Christmas ever: her boyfriend, Michael, and her best friend, Lilly, are coming to Genovia, too.

But even a princess's plans can go awry. Lilly has a lot to learn about palace protocol, and with all the state holiday functions Mia must attend, there's no time to linger under the mistletoe with Michael. Worst of all, Mia hasn't been able to find him the perfect gift.

Can Mia stop her (bah-hum)bugging long enough to see that the perfect present has nothing to do with international express courier -- and everything to do with real love? (Though some shiny silver ribbon never hurts ...)"

To enter, please leave a comment below or send me an email with the subject line "First Day of Christmas". If you haven't read them already, make sure you read the Contest Rules. Open internationally until December 20th at midnight.

I'm not entering myself for this contest, but I must comment. I love the over-the-top cheesy synopsis of this book. Honestly, it sounds like quite the book must be quite the laugh! :-D
