Mother's Day 2008 - Giveaway Event

Do you love to read? Do you love books?

Nothing makes me happier than a big ‘ol pile of new books. If you are like me, you will love this giveaway. We are giving away a a bundle of books worth over $120. Please click through the amazon links or the to the publisher’s site to find out more about the books that interest you.

From Hachette Books:

Mrs. Perfect by Jane Porter — (read my full review HERE)

Odd Mom Out by Jane Porter introduces us to Marta Zinsser, who moves from Manhattan to an exclusive Seattle-area community. Will she find a way to fit in and still be true to herself?

From Bethany House/Baker Books:

Truffles by the Sea by Julie Carobini features Gaby Flores, a chocolate-loving heroine who is trying to break her habit of dating Mr. Wrong while rebuilding her recently-destroyed flower shop business.

Growing Friendships by Tracy Klehn is a lovely book about friendship. You can find my full review HERE.

From a Distance by Tamera Alexander is is the first book in the Timber Ridge Reflections series, and is not even available until June 1, so you’ll get a sneak-peek. It’s a historical romance taking place in late 19th century Colorado.

Quiet Moments for a Mother’s Heart is a gift-quality devotional book containing 120 devotions which can be read in a rare quick quiet moment.

From HarperCollins:

Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life by Sophie Uliano sorts through all the eco-info out there to help you incorporate green practices into your shopping, eating, and beauty habits.

From Penguin Group:

The Sweet Melissa Baking Book by Melissa Murphy (owner of a Zagat acclaimed bakery in Brooklyn) has recipes ranging from fancy tart to simple homey cookies. If you like to bake (or eat baked goods), you have to click over and just look at this book. . . .

Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern gives tips on how we can use our spending power to make a difference in the world–kind of an eco-nomics course. She also busts the myth that green always costs more. It’s the “green shopping bible” for women who want to know “What can I do?”

    I have had a lot of drama in my life lately and have just decided that I need to read more because it makes me happy. The “Truffles By The Sea” speaks to me because I love the water, I love chocolate, I love new romance, and I love to read. What else could be better that a book that would satisfy all four loves? Thanks for the chance! Jennifer

    “Truffles by the Sea” sounds like a delightful, fun-to-read novel. They all sound good (I’m a fan of Jane Porter already), but I think “Truffles” is the one I’d crack open first if I win this bundle of books.

    Very well written! I am an avid reader and the books I enjoy the most are the ones that are genuine, and the ones that I can relate to in all or some part of my life. This is one is it. It is so funny how timing is so perfect. As I was reading the review and she was talking about building strong relationships with other women at church….I looked behind me (God). I sing in the choir at my church and I know this review was for me. What really got my attention is that there is a guide available too, to help me in doing that. It is so true that a lot of our insecurities stem from bad personal experiences when we were younger and they do carry over into adult hood. Reading this review was really a word of encouragement for me and I really would like to read this book because it is not easy building friendships with the fear of betrayal, and/or getting hurt. Yes, like she said, we do need friendships; it just feels so risky and I try to protect my heart by keeping my distance. I know that my fellow church members are my brothers and sisters in Christ, but it does hurt me deep down to know that I am toiling with the friendship issue. I could go on; but to make a long story short, once again, very well written. I look forward to reading all of the listed books.

For Christmas last year I got her a doggie biscuit cookbook and she’s been baking her beagle little treats. While a lot of these books will make a fun read, I’d love to give my mother The Sweet Melissa Baking Book. If I win, she’ll have a cookbook giving her ideas of even more things to bake me. 🙂 Thank you for the contest.

    “Quiet Moments for a Mother’s Heart” is my favorite. What mom couldn’t us a few “quiet moments?”

    From A Distance looks like my kind of book. I love historical novels. If they are well written, they give you an idea of what life was like in that time period.
