Blog Giveaway *** You Choose the Book!!!


I said I was going to try to start giving away a book(s) at least once a month, and I've almost let November pass by w/o one!! I apologize for my negligence!

This month I'm doing something a little different...I'm going to let the lucky winner CHOOSE which book they want from a list I've complied. Aren't you curious? Wouldn't you like for me to get to the point already? LOL

Without further ado...here are the book choices:
(FYI: most of these books have been read but are in very good/excellent condition)




California Capers by Dana Mentink
(Christian Fiction/Mystery/Suspense)

The Yada Yada Prayer Group by Neta Jackson
(Christian Fiction/General/Contemporary)

The Forbidden by Beverly Lewis
(Christian Fiction/Romance/Amish)

A Love to Last Forever by Tracie Peterson
(Christian Fiction/Historical/Romance)

A Thousand Tomorrows by Karen Kingsbury
(Christian Fiction/Romance/Inspirational)

Talking to the Dead by Bonnie Grove
(Christian/General/Fiction)

I've tried to offer a diversity of subjects/genres because I know everyone doesn't read the same types of books. I hope you'll find something you're interested in!!

Now for the Rules:

* You must leave a valid email address in your comment, so I can
contact you if you're the winner.
(Example: sugarandgrits{at}hotmail{dot}com)
This way spammers will be less likely to grab it.

* You must have a valid U.S. mailing address.

* At this time, the giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.

* The giveaway will start today, Nov.20th, and end on
Nov. 24th
at 11:59 p.m.(EST)
(Any/all entries entered after this time will not be eligible.)

* I will announce the winner here on Nov. 25th ~ you will also be contacted via email. You will then have 48 hours in which to respond with your snail mail address, or another winner will be chosen.

Now ~ on to the fun stuff ~ chances for extra entries!!
Please include all of your extra entries in ONE comment...this
will make it a lot easier for me to keep up with them!!
Thanks! =)

+1 = By becoming a new follower thru
Google Friend Connect, on the right sidebar

  27. I'm glad I discovered your blog, Lori, because I love reading reviews and adding to my wish list. Your Shelfari shelf looks a lot like mine, by the way. I know have more books than I'll ever get to in this life.

    I saw at the top of your blog that you like the Bulldogs, so you must live in Georgia. I live in the south metro area and am a Tech fan, but I like Georgia, too!

    My book choice would be Talking to the Dead by Bonnie Grove, because I love the relationship drama genre - upmarket fiction, I believe it's called.

    And I'm a Google Connect follower. I don't really have a blog to post this on; I'm just an avid reader. Thanks so much for the giveaway, Lori.
