Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

I am participating in Bloggy Giveways! Hundreds of Bloggers will participate and will be giving away items on their blogs.

I am going to be giving away FIVE prizes. You will need to check back each day to see the new prize. The second prize is an AMAZON GIFT CARD for $10. I love to read and Amazon is one of my favorite places to get new books. Some of my recent favorites include:

[photopress:guernsey_book.jpg,full,pp_image]The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Written in the form of letters, the tale is sweet and intriguing. Juliet Ashton, writes to her publisher looking for a new assignment, hoping to stop writing about World War II. Instead she finds a different war story when a farmer from Guernsey finds her name in a used book and writes to her.

[photopress:sisters_grimm_book.jpg,full,pp_image]The Fairy Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1) (Bk. 1) – My nine year old daughter started reading this book, so I read it too. A very cute tale about two sisters (related to the Grimm brothers) who must keep all the fairy tale creatures in line. Interestingly, the fairy tale creatures all live in New York! There are seven books in this series now.

My most recent book was The Worst Hard Time. It was about the people who stayed behind in the Dust Bowl. It was a wonderful read and very eye opening about why they stayed and what they went through.

Thanks for the chance!

I recently read SONGS FOR THE MISSING By Stewart O’Nan, which is a book about a missing girl, and how her dissapearance affects her family and friends. This book was not one I would have chosen for myself (it was a gift), but it held my interest, and was a very emotional experience to read, because I kept thinking about my own daughters, and what I would do fi one of them were missing….depressing, huh? Still, I do recommend it.

Jodi January 30, 2009 at 7:31 pm

I just finished The Secret Life of Bees and really enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

The book I most recently finished was Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz, and I really liked it. It was weird to go to the circus after reading about the crazy stuff that went on in the book though lol

Betty C January 31, 2009 at 2:19 am

I just received an advance copy of “The Writing on My Forehead” by Nafisa Haji. It is a wonderful story of a Muslim child raised in the United States whose family still follows the traditions and customs of their home country.

Betty C January 31, 2009 at 2:20 am

My son and I just recently finished reading “The ClassRoom at the end of the hall” by Douglas Evans together. We throughly enjoyed it, so much so we have already been looking on amazon and it looks like Mr. Evans has written a sequel to this book and I would love to surprise him with gettng it for him.

A year ago I couldn’t get my son to pick up a book, he hated it. We went through many MANY books before we found one that put that adventureous sole into him. He finally figured out the wonderful adventure your brain can take you. Today he is reading just about daily and we are really enjoying doing it together.

Thank you for the opportunity to win this nice $10 Amazon, it would be put to good use. Have a great weekend The Shopping Duck.

Rondah January 31, 2009 at 5:09 am

“Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry” by Stacy Malkan, which is very eye-opening and needs to be read by everyone in my opinion.

Marla January 31, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Parenting Surviving to Thriving…I think it’s by Charles Swindoll (but I’m not sure). There’s a Bible study book that goes along with it. It’s great!
Thanks!
