Believe me, having participated before, you&#8217;ll find a lot of eye candy on  the tour and even better? A basket full of ebooks to win.</p>
<p>Somewhere on my site, I&#8217;ve hidden an Easter egg. All you have to do is find it to take you to the next stop. Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s not hard to find, I only have a few pages on the site, so you&#8217;ll only have to <strong><em>play</em></strong> around a bit.</p>
<p>You should  have come from<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2NhaXJpbmVob3VzZS5jb20v" target=\"_self\">Hailey Edwards</a> blog, and once you find the Easter egg on my site, it will take you to  the next one in line. The entry form to win the Easter Basket of goodies  is at the end of the tour. That&#8217;s it &#8211; no need to leave a comments along the way! Well, unless you want to stop by and thank the authors for doing this. No pressure tho. <img src='http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be running the hop all weekend, so if you have to take a break  from all of these hotties, just bookmark the page, and return to the  tour at your convenience. Winners will be chosen Easter Sunday 4/4/10 at  7pm EST, and announced at the Liquid Silver Books forum on <a href="http://www.sarabrookes.net/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5saXF1aWRzaWx2ZXJib29rcy5jb20vZm9yLi4uYWQucGhwP3Q9MTEyNjY=" target=\"_self\">this thread</a>.</p>
