We have a winner!
Congratulations Steph at It's Toile, Y'all!
Thanks to all who entered this giveaway! Wishing you many great reads this summer...
A Giveaway!
This post will stay at the top of my blog until Monday afternoon, June 30...scroll down between now and then to see what's new.
Do you enter giveaways on other people's blogs? I didn't for a long time but I slowly started entering one every now and again. I enter them more often now, but am still waiting for my first win. I'm now going to try the other side of the coin - hosting a giveaway!!
Gretchen at "Jewels in My Crown...Someday" had the awesome idea to host a Book Giveaway Carnival. I am an avid reader and am always on the lookout for a good book. I'm also constantly needing a new bookshelf, which is one reason this giveaway is so perfect...I'll get to bless someone with a good read and make a little space on my shelf.
I am giving away "Quaker Summer" by Lisa Samson.
I chose this book for my book group last September and it was very well-received. It is also the Women of Faith Novel of the Year for 2007. Here's the blurb from the back of the book...
Heather Curridge is coming unhinged. And people are starting to notice. What's wrong with a woman who has everything - a mansion on a lake, a loving son, a heart-surgeon husband, and soapstone countertops - yet still feels miserable inside?
Yet when Heather spends the summer with two ancient Quaker sisters and a crusty nun in a downtown homeless shelter, she suddenly finds herself at a crossroads.
Sometimes you have to go a little bit crazy to find the life you were meant to live.
Just re-reading the back of the book brings a smile to my face since I know how the whole thing turns out. It really is a delightful read that will stretch you too.
To be eligible to win this book, just leave me a comment on this post. If you have a book recommendation that you'd like to leave with your comment I would love to hear it, but that is optional. The contest is open until Monday, June 30 at 1:00pm Mountain Time and I'll announce the winner shortly thereafter. Also, this contest is open to U.S. readers only.
Happy Reading!!
