I Love To Read Give Away

THIS GIVE AWAY IS CLOSED.  Winners will be announced tomorrow, Saturday 3/19

Reading is one of  my favorite things to do.  I also like to listen to audio books when I sew.  I have good memories of my daughters reading to me in the car.  The long trip to town every morning was made much more enjoyable with books.  The girls both became very good readers.  I switched to audio books when my readers graduated.  I have been doing some reading to rest my arm from stitching.  These are quick and fun reading books.

This first book was sent to me from Linda.  She told me to pass it on and I am.  Many of you may have already read some of Jennifer Chiaverini's books.  This was my first one and I really enjoyed it.  I need to get some more Elm Creek books.  Thank you Linda for sharing!!



I liked Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok.   I was hoping this girl would make the right decisions.  I'm not a book critic.  I choose a book and read it for the pure joy of reading.  It was a good read.




The last book in the give away is Rainwater by Sandra Brown.    I think this is the best Sandra Brown book I've read.  I really liked the ending.  : )


If you like to read, please leave a comment telling me which book you would like to read.  I will draw 3 readers on Friday, March 18th.

    Well I love to read and this is a very difficult choice because I don't think I've read anything by any of these three authors. I think I would pick the Elm Creek book first, just cause I'd like to read one of them and try them out. Then Rainwater second, cause I like the cover photo. :)

    I think I'd chose the Sandra Brown book. I haven't read anything by her in a while but I remember that when she's on her game they are hard books to put down. Thanks for the giveaway, they are always fun!

    I've read all of the Elm Creek books and loved them all. I have also read at least one by Sandra Brown and have more on my wish list, so that is the one I'd choose. I hope your arm/shoulder is getting better?

    Since I read "The Quilter's Apprentice" I have read several more of the series. So far my favorite was,"The Quilter's Legacy."
    If I would be one of the lucky winners, I have never read a Sandra Brown's book, I would like to try "Rainwater."

    I am currently reading Jennifer Chiaverini's newest book, "Union Quilters." It is set in the Civil War so is early Elm Creek. This has been a great series of books: I have looked forward to each one.

    I just like to visit and read your blog :-)

    See that the snow is slowly melting......
    That will please Peanut and her clan.

    I would like to bet that it was as cold on Dartmoor yesterday as it is at Janet's place :-) It was cold. Cold enough to think my nose and ears had fallen off. :-) xxx

    Hi, I also love to read, quilt and watch my grandkids grow!! I have read 15 of Jennifer Chiaverint's books all very good. So I think the Sandra Brown book I like her too. I just finished Spoken from the heart by First Lady Laura Bush. Very interesting things about her life, the White House, and her years there. Now I am reading I Am hutterite by Mary Ann Kirkby. I also have a blog http://jmfbetterthanideserve.blogspot.com if you care to check it out someday.

    Hey, Janet, it wouldn't really matter to me since I haven't read any of these books, but since I need to choose, it would be Rainwater. I am a fan of Sandra Brown. Hope you are having a beautiful day. It is supposed to be in the upper 70's this afternoon, but then rain coming in. Oh well, we are getting closer to spring all the time. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Winona
