Leslie’s Jungle Madness Friday!
Well, since we Plotmonkeys are going to be in California plotting for the next several days, I figured it would be appropriate to offer a prize that will make you feel like you’re “right there” which, in this case, means you’ll EAT like the Plotmonkeys. (Or, at least Plotmonkey Julie.) So the winner will get a 1 lb box of Julie’s favorite–See’s Chocolate!

I’ll also throw in an autographed copy of two of my favorite Harlequin Temptation novels…the connected books:







See’s are the BEST chocolates out there! And lucky for Julie, our hotel is literally right next to a mall that has a See’s. I’m sure we’ll be going for a chocolate fix.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I’ve decided we need a smilie for YUMMY.
Comment by Julie Leto — January 11, 2008 @ 12:44 am
Hey, you guys have fun together…what am I saying? Of course you’ll have fun. And we want to see the pictures!
See’s is very good stuff - love the prize. Actually, I love all the prizes you monkeys offer up. Thank you for always being so generous with us. But I’d still visit if there were no prizes because you ladies rock. Have a great weekend, and let the mojitos flow!
Comment by Stacy ~ — January 11, 2008 @ 7:02 am
I’ve never had See’s. Sounds great. Hope you guys have a great time.
Comment by Stacy S — January 11, 2008 @ 7:15 am
Until Julie started talking about See’s I had never heard them. Still never tried them, although I did see that they had a kiosk in the mall around the holidays. The best chocolate I ever had, though, was fresh chocolate from Belgium — talk about YUMMY!!!!
Comment by Kelly R. — January 11, 2008 @ 7:18 am
Even if I can’t take part, a great prize as always. I’m sure the winner will enjoy the cookies as well as the books.

I’m sure you’ll have a ball meeting in California and of course I hope you’ll come back with a lot of great ideas for further great books.
Have fun and enjoy your time though
Glad it’s FINALLY Friday. It’s been a long week. I think everybody deserves the weekend. My plans for the weekend are reading, reading and…no, not reading but doing some errands.
Take care
See you
Vero

Have a great time! My weekend starts by having to have blood tests–ugh! Just normal stuff, but still, it’s my blood and I would really prefer to keep it!
Great prize Leslie!
Comment by Laura J — January 11, 2008 @ 8:30 am

Take care all and have a terrific day,

Comment by Cher — January 11, 2008 @ 8:54 am
I’ve never tried See’s chocolates. I have never seen them around here, but chocolate, books, and a cup of tea on a cold winter day, sounds good to me. You ladies have a great time in California, and I also want to see the pictures. Everyone have a good weekend.
Comment by Kathy — January 11, 2008 @ 8:57 am

Enjoy plotting. Don’t let thoughts of chocolate get in the way.

Have a great weekend everyone especially the Plotmonkeys… Can’t wait to hear what you all did.
Comment by Elisa V — January 11, 2008 @ 12:21 pm
Ooo, chocolate and books, always a great combo! But I don’t know if anything can beat Swiss chocolate. Although that See’s chocolate looks pretty darn good.
Work hard Plotmonkeys… And eat lots of chocolate!! We’re eagerly awaiting the results of your labor!
Comment by Michelle N. — January 11, 2008 @ 12:36 pm

I worked my way through beauty school at See’s. Yes I wore that white dress with the big black bow but I also got to eat all the chocolate I wanted and could tell you what was inside each one just by looking at it (they do special designs for each flavor). I still love it!!!
Comment by Beth — January 11, 2008 @ 2:44 pm

Comment by Teresa W. — January 11, 2008 @ 3:28 pm
Yummy! A yummy icon would be super & fun! To those that haven’t heard of See’s or never tasted it is the best & a California institution! It didn’t used to be sold anywhere else. Now you can order online. Try it you’ll like it!!

No, I’m not trying to enter the contest twice!
This is just F.Y.I. that was news to me! See’s now sells in the following states: Arizona, California (of course!), Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada Oregon, Utah & Washington. Go to the website if you want more info. No, I don’t work at See’s just trying to be helpful to all the people that love chocolate. We could use a chocolate icon also!!
Comment by Donna M — January 11, 2008 @ 3:47 pm
Have a great time in California! Yum…chocolate! I recently discovered See’s and it is delicious.
