This year the contests I’ve run on www.carlyphillips.com have focused on Carly’s Favorite Things. I’ve noticed that quite a few plotmonkey blogs have had themes centered on addictions (Spider Solitaire, Starbucks, Internet …) and odd person that I am, I connected the two for Carly’s May Jungle Madness Friday ….. 
So … Just post a comment today in order to be eligible to win a package of WINNER’S favorite flavor of JELLY BELLY jellybeans – – 2.2 pound bag!!!!! (My favorite flavors are Strawberry Shortcake and Coconut) Anyone who’s eaten Jelly Belly’s knows they’re orgasmic. Anyone who hasn’t is in for a treat. I kid you not! And while you’re munching, enjoy a copy of HOT ITEM before it hits store shelves in June!
Winner to be picked as usual by an unbiased member of a monkey’s family at their sole discretion.
HAPPY WEEKEND!

Oh yum – I love Jelly Bellys! They really wake up those taste buds.
Hot Item is almost enough to keep my mind off the cold and rainy weather we have here in Chicago! I hope the rest of you are in warm, dry, sunny places cuz it’s ugly here…
Would love to get my hands on a copy of this upcoming book. Thanks again for offering it.
It is pouring here in NY! Enuf already.
I love Jelly Belly Jelly beans that are shades of pinks. I love all the pink flavors and mixing them is fun. Pink is my favorite color. Pink roses, pink underwear, pink towels , strawberry icecream. You get the idea. (f)
Everyone have a fantastic Friday. Only 5 mores days of school. I’m counting down the days.
Just wanted to wish everyone luck today!! It’s not too pretty here in MA either. It has been raining all darn week and no end in sight.
If I wanted to live like this I would move to London! LOL!!
Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Juicy Pear, Peach, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Watermelon. Basically I’m a sucker for the fruity ones.
Great prize! I love Jelly Belly beans, especially the popcorn flavor. I can’t get out of the grocery store without buying at least a small bag — and then I want to wolf them down on the drive home.
It is raining cats and dogs here. All week been very damp!
Anyway – count me in for the prize. Would absolutely love to win this book. Love your books, Carly!!!
What a great prize. I love Jelly Belly beans too. My favorites are Buttered popcorn and peanut butter. I would love to read Hot Item. Hope you have a great weekend.
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten Jelly Belly Beans!? But I have read a Carly book and know I love those. Have a great weekend all.
Jelly Belly’s are great. I like most of the flavors don’t know that I have a favorite. Peach, apricot and Cafe Latte flavors are the one’s that come to my mind. We have a store that sells them by the pound and you can mix or match you favorites…..make mine a mixed bag if I win.
Also can’t wait to read Hot Item so that would be a really cool prize as well.
It’s raining here in Indiana as well and it is supposed to be a soggy weekend. I plan to stay in and read…maybe venture out on Saturday to go to a movie.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Happy Friday! It’s beautiful here in the south today! Should be a wonderful weekend to get my mom moved to her new house. Only then can I cuddle up to my TBR pile and select the next tidbit to dive into.
Have a great Mother’s Day. Hope you get the best

I would look forward to these wonderful jelly bellies and the fun read.
What a great treat. Jelly Bellies go great with everything, especially a cute new book.
Wow! Jelly Bellies would do it for me. I love them.
Sorry to rain on your parade but the weather here in the desert southwest is perfect as usual. But I love those jelly bellies as a treat that go with the new book.
Pick me, pick me!! :d I love Jelly Belly’s
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms…. may you all have a special day! (f) I’m celebrating my first Mother’s Day this year!
I love Jelly Bellys too.
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom’s

Oh Good Gosh! Jelly bellies and a great book! What more can you ask for?
I am dying for this book!!! Pick me, Pick me (waving hand quickly). Does your family take bribes??? Just kidding ;) Have a great weekend!
(y) These would be great to take on the plane with me since I can’t smoke. And, I’d love to be reading HOT ITEM!!!!
I like all the Jelly Bellys except licorice. :[
Why is everybody complaining if it’s raining? It is beautiful and sunny right now, but I would like to see some of that rain here in Eastern Finland, so that the landscape would start to look green soon.
I have never had Jelly Bellies……..Hot Item is a great read. So wishing all of you GOOD LUCK on this draw.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s and hope that you have a great day on Sunday.
The sun is shining here today (Calgary, Alberta) and it is supposed to be a beautiful day. Hope that sun shines soon for all of you experiencing rain.

As for the book…….
I would love to win a copy before I can buy it!!
Carly you are the “Goddess” of beach summer reading!!

Wow! Great prize…I’d love to enter…Happy Mother’s Day to all the the mom’s out there! You guys rock!!
Yes, count me in for a chance to win your new book.
Happy Mothers Day to everyone.
My favorite Jelly Belly flavor is very hard to find–Key Lime Pie. I was only able to find it at a candy store in our airport (now closed) and a little Hallmark/candy store in Vinings, Georgia. I like my Jelly Bellies on the tart side…but then, I just finished off a box of Sour Patch Kids, so you know where my tastes lie!
Trish…shhhhhh! Don’t tell them about our weather. We’ve got what, one or two days left of cool, gorgeous spring! But this is when everyone moves down here…and then discovers our summers aren’t quite so perfect!
yummy, i love jelly belly. (y) :d
Actually today we’ve had both. . . it was rainy, not it’s partly sunny. LOL But that won’t last in a day or so.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Lois, who’s just a college student, but mom of a cubby, old fuzzy baby with whiskers. ;) My darn cat. . . LOL
I know Julie! I just can’t help it! look outside !!!
To everyone else,
It’s rainy and muggy, horrible weather!!
(n)
I am in sunny, blue sky weather, not to hot!
Jelly Belly’s stick to my teeth, but I still eat them once in awhile! Last year I went with my 2 youngest grandkids to the Jelly Belly factory. It was fun to go with them, it is about 2 hours from where I live & it is a very busy place! We were there during Spring vacation. It is actually quite interesting to see how the Jellies are made. The day were were there you could smell the flavor they were making in a large part of the factory–can’t remember what flavor it was!!! Sorry!
Your book sounds great Carly, I’m looking forward to reading it.
To all Mom’s, have a very happy Mother’s Day, enjoy. (f) (f)
(dog) Greetings from my four-legged, best buddy, golden retriever, Libby. She isn’t interested in the book as much as she is interested in the jellybellies. Libby loves popcorn (real popcorn) and can sniff it out from a mile away! Unfortunately for Libby, her mom (me) doesn’t like popcorn jellybellies… and worse yet, even if I did like popcorn jellybellies, we have a pretty strict “no-people-food-for-the-dog” policy at our house. Real popcorn being the only exception! Anyway, Libby says “woof” and I say hello. She nosed out this blog by smelling all of the references to popcorn. I found it by wondering when Hot Item would be availabe – can’t wait for June! (dog)
I love jelly beans and Carly Phillips books.
By the way, we’ve had rain all day too. Blech. Thanks for the entries and compliments. The day’s not over yet, LOL, so new entries welcome. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow. The Plotmonkeys had fun writing tomorrow’s blog! ;)
mmm….yummy! My niece use to call those belly beans. They are addicting. Great prizes!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms here!
Jelly beans and Hot Item! Now that’s what I call a real treat! I just live your books, Carly!
Jelly Bellies and a Carly Phillips book….. Who could ask for more????
Lets see a chance to get Carly’s new book and some goodies to munch on when reading..I am definately in! Thanks Carly
;) Great prize, especially one of your new books. Pick Me, Pick Me.
Jelly Bellies are my favorites! The coconut and popcorn ones are the best!
I love Jellybeans…but I want Carly’s book even more!! (*)
What a nice treat, Jelly Bellies and a Carly book. I like the coconut ones, too, always pick them out first. The monkey can pick out any banana ones and keep them if my name comes up.
(y)
Count me in. Would love to have both prizes.
I love (l) Jelly Bellies! Theres a factory about 2 hours from me!
I love all you books, especially the playboy, the bachelor, and the heartbreaker! Keep up the good work.
