Winner!!!

Apparently I have been on and off long enough that most of my followers have left me :(  I will have to do more giveaways and hopefully we can bring them back.Since Lorie was the only one that left a comment she wins the copy of "The Pirate Queen".  Lorie, if you can email me your address I will get that book out to you as soon as possible. With all that said, here is another book review.  This book is called "Lilies in the Moonlight" and it is by Allison Pittman. 

I can't say enough good things about this book.  Once I got started on reading I could not put it down, no kidding.  Even when I was suffering from a migraine I decided to take a bath and take this book with me (actually, that happened twice).  When we were having a rainy, nasty day...I picked this book up and started reading.  Next thing I know it was after my boys bedtime and I finished Mrs. Burnside, an older lady with dementia.

After a party Lily finds herself in the backyard of Mrs. Burnside, passed out and injured.

Lily meets Cullen (Mrs. Burnside's son) and begin a stormy "relationship".  Cullen has his own demons but his are more obvious.

I say relationship because they aren't a couple but because Lily is living in his house they find themselves running into each other a lot.

With Mrs. Burnside's oblivious help these two people find hope and a chance for new beginnings.

So, let's do another giveaway.  I will give a little more time for this one.  Let's keep this one going until next Sunday, the 26th of June.  I will annouce the winner on the 27th, Monday.

Same rules apply, leave a comment and you get one chance; announce it on your blog, a second chance; follow me on facebook or here and you get three chances to win.  Of course, if you already follow either on facebook or here then let me know and that will still count.

I do have a card to share with you tomorrow so I hope to see you then.

*disclaimer* I was given this book free from Multnomah in exchange for this review

Thanks for stopping by!!!

 

Little Prayers

 

I got this book from my Blogging for Books group I joined.  It really is a great program if you love books.  I love to read and I hope that my boys will also gain that love of reading from me.This book, "This little prayer of Mine" was the second book I received from Blogging for Books.  I love it.  It is a quick read, great for the little members of the family, but it is also great for the older kiddos who are learning to read.It is set up like a poem which makes the reading seem more like a song and easier for bigger kids to figure out.  I would recommend this book to anyone with little children.  I hope that my boys learn to say their prayers just like the adorable kids in this book. For legal purposes, I was given this book for free by WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Blogging for Books

Here it is, finally. (picture courtesy of google books) I have been able to sit down and slowly read this book.  If you don't remember I signed up for this program called "Blogging for Books".  I didn't know what book to start with or why I even chose this book but I did and I am glad that I did. It was a very refreshing and uplifting book, so heartfelt. This book jumped right into the drama but was still so going in. Not only did it have the main storyline but so many other side stories are brought in seemingly out of the blue. It makes you wonder what the main story really is.  I do have to admit that after really getting into it I realized how refreshing it was to read a book that intertwined faith without realizing what was happening. I loved the way I found myself finding ways to uplift my own spirit and learn ways I can possibly improve my own life. All in all I think it is a great read and I will be keeping this book around and highlighting quotes and thoughts that hit me the most. Just to make sure this review is legal I need to say, “I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”.
