I haven't been blogging for a while and I promise you'll hear more about why in the next week or two.
In the meantime, it is that time of year again, the Bloggy Giveaways (click for even more contests)! I have two new books (these are clean copies I did not read) to give away.
The first is Dancing with the Stars: Jive, Samba, and Tango Your Way into the Best Shape of Your Life. 
Plus, I have The Teen Whisperer: How to Break Through the Silence and Secrecy of Teenage Life. Teenagers can be incredibly difficult to understand and help. This book brings insight from a successful, but unorthodox therapist who works with the most troubled teens. If you or know someone who needs help with communicating with a teen, you'll find this book to be a great resource.
To win: Just leave me a comment, telling me (briefly) why you would be interested in winning these books, by February 1, 8PM EST. I'll choose one winner at random for both books. Remember to leave an e-mail or URL where I can reach you if you win. I will ship to any US (including US military addresses that count as US shipping) or Canadian address. Good luck and enjoy!

DWTS is one of my favs and if it could help with weight loss, all the better!
Definitely need to get in shape...why not do it the fun way.
This looks like a fun way to get in shape. And I have a teen, and another one on the way to teendom. I could use all the help I can get in talking to them.
I've seen this book as a giveaway at other blogs recently. It's interested me, but I haven't won it yet. maybe this time...
I would like the teen whisperer book, I have 3 and getting them to talk is hard work! I have 4 kids that will be teens soon enough, so you can see I need all the help I can get!
I would love the Teen Whisperer book. My aunt's step son is almost a teen and he's already a troubled child.

I Love Dancing with the Stars
I love dancing and can definitely use some motivation to stick to an exercise routine. I find gyms and the like so very boring.
As a sociology and criminology student, I'm interested in dealing with young offenders. A book that would help me communicate with teenagers would definitely be put to good use.
Thanks!
I mentor teens on Saturdays, so I think I could really use that book!
Please count me in, I would love either book, thanks!

I would love getting into summer shape this way!
I need to exercise and this looks like a really fun way. I've also got 2 teenagers and one on the way!!
Need to lose the GUT! lolwzfo
this would be great for exercising!
This would be great to get my butt (literally) in shape!
who doesn't need help getting in shape and who doesn't need help talking to teenagers!
great pairing!
Breaking through the veil of secrecy in today's teenage world would be enlightening indeed.
I love to dance and need to lose weight! Also, the idea of being able to talk to a teen is always important! What a great giveaway! Please sign me up! Thanks!
I've never watched "Dancing with the stars", but anything that might make working out fun, sounds great to me. I don't have a teen yet, but I do have a "tweener" (He's 10.)
I've always loved to dance and this would be a fun way to work out. As a tie-in to the "Talk to Your Teen" book, we have a quiet 15-year-old in the family who loved DWTS. We all watched it to have a special subject of conversation with her. (This year it's Dance War.)
I'd love to learn how to dance again...used to love ballet. And I have a friend who'd appreciate reading the other book. ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
Having lost 50 lbs by giving up sugar and flour I would love to lose 30 more using this!!
The dancing book sounds like great fun. As for the teen one...my 3 year old girl likes to ACT like a teenager sometimes!
Sequins and hausfraus were born to be together - it's destiny.
My niece is turning into a teen soon, so the book would help with our communication.
kierra(dot)ho(at)gmail(dot)com
Id love to win either book.. but the teen book would suit us most as my goddaughter is 17 and driving me insaine :)
I need to lose this baby weight! Bring on DWTS!!!
I need to get in shape and my teenage son does too.
Excellent prize, thanks!
thanks, I am just starting a lifestyle change to lose weight and need something to add to my activity level.
I am amazed by the routines on dancing with the stars and I can see why people drop the weight. Very intense workout.

I would love to win this. Maybe it'll help me to understand my students better.

I am trying to lose weight and the first book sounds like oh so much fun!!!!
teen whisperer sounds good to read
I would love the dancing with the stars for me and the teen book so I can understand and talk to my sil
I have a ton of weight to lose and I like to dance. That's why I'd like to win the first book.
I'd like to win the second book because I have a tween that will be a teenager soon and I can already see the lines of communication changing.
Dancing with the stars has inspired me at age 48 to take dancing lessons. Talk about exercise It's a challenge but wow are the results worth it.
I really deserve this. Whwn my daughter was 5 my parents took her from me because I was an alcholic. I moved to florida 4/4/2007, the day my daughter turned 19, with 10 1/2 years sobriety, my care payed off and money saved for the move after working 2 and 3 jobs for years
I love to dance and need to get in shape.
Love to win Dancing with the stars
God Bless
&
Good Luck
I'd love the teen book... cuz I'm starting to prep now! LOL!
I have enjoyed dancing with the stars and I'd love to see what they have to say about fitness. I don't have a teenager yet but in just about 7 years I will... :) Never too early to prepare.
Dancing may be the way I can finally motivate myself into getting back in shape.
What a fun way to get into a better shape
I'd like the dancing with the stars-best shape of your life-I can try!

Thank you!!
I have a preteen daughter who loves DWTS. We are always looking for fun ways to get exercise, and this book would be a great way. And the 2nd book would definitely be helpful as my dd heads for her teen years.
Thanks for the contest! jlazztoo at yahoo dot com
My wonderful wife Cathy would love the dancing video, she wants to use dancing or something like it to finish getting in shape. A couple of years ago she had her right knee replaced, before that (since she was 10, anyway) she was unable to do things like run or dance - she has just realized that she CAN do those things! ONE of us needs to be able to run, dance, etc, and my legs no longer work due to a car accident. As for the book, our oldest daughter Marissa is 13, and that book could really help Cathy relate to her, understand what she is saying when she talks txt.

I'd love to learn how to dance and call it exercise at the same time and I'd love to understand my teenage son.
This looks like a really cool way to get in shape!
Would love either or maybe both! Then I could understand my son whilst dancing with him!

I have preteen step daughter and getting her to open up already is tough. The teen book would really help me. As for the dancing with the stars, I am about to have my first baby and my body is gonna need all the help it can get to try to get back to my old form. Thanks!

Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!
These books would be great for me to read and share because they both relate to kids, teens and parents. That is exercise and getting in touch with your teen and communications together. Love to win these or one of them. thanks so much.

I would love the DWTS book to see their hints/tips on getting in shape. As for the Talk to Your Teen book, I still have a few years before my oldest hits her teens, but it's never to early to read up on how to keep the lines of communication open.
I heart anything DWTS!
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
DWTS would give my daughter some possible stage moves for her singing. That'd be great.
Also, the teen book will come in handy when dealing with said daughter. She's starting young with teen mood swings.
I would love to win these books because they sound very interesting.
My 54 year old husbandrecently said he'dwished he could dance.
