Time for another giveaway woot woot! Okay, no more wooting, sorry. :) There is going to be 1 winner for 2 sweet books, both Christmas/wintery related plus whatever Christmas goodies I can find around the house lol. These are 2 of my favorite books and I hope you will like them too and maybe check them out, even if you don't win! This is open to eeeeeveryone this time, US and International, so be sure to enter! And what exactly are you winning here?
First, is a cute little middle grade book called
Confessions of a Bitter Secret Santa. Yes, I know it looks kind of cheesy, but I promise it's a cute story! Noel is a young girl who loves Christmas usually, but this year is kind of the pits. Her mom is preggers again, they aren't doing any of their usual traditions, her crush doesn't know she exists, and she gets a bad partner in her English class' Secret Santa project. And to top it all off,
her Secret Santa is not living up to her expectations...can she make Christmas merry and bright again?
And second,
The Thing About Jane Spring, which is one of my favorite books. My sister, the nonreader, adores it too. Jane is a tough, no-nonsense lawyer who is happy with her life...except for one part. She can't get a man and she has no idea why. In the middle of an old movie marathon during a snowstorm, she gets the answer: Doris Day always got the guy. So, being an "all or nothing" kind of gal, she decides to do a complete lifestyle change. We're talking makeover, her voice, her attitude, her home, everything. Will Jane get her man? Was he already there and she didn't even know it? What will her military father and brothers think?

ReplyDeleteOf course i still cant follow this blog (as far as i know) as i have a Worpress blog, not a blogspot blog, but i do read your posts when you tweet the link to it. That counts sort of as following, right? ;-)
That second book sounds like fun! I will check it out no matter the outcome of this. It always fascinates me (and also disgusts me a little) how some women completely change themselves to get a man. I want to read this.
Hmm i used to have a Christmas book my mum read to me as a child, but i cant remember what it was called. It had all kinds of stories in it. She found it during WW2, when she was a child. It had also notes and little drawings in them, made by another child. About 15 years back, my mum found the person the book belonged to and gave it back (a woman who now lives in Germany). That woman was so happy she got her old favorite book back! She told my mum her dad had given it to her and held a lot of memories. That woman still sends my mum postcards and Christmas cards every year. I love how books can bring people together!
Nowadays i don't have a real favorite holiday book, but when winter starts and during Christmas, i always want to read the early Harry Potter books. Somehow they feel like Christmas :-)
Of course it counts! :) that story is sweet, I love that your mom found the original owner.
ReplyDeleteEvery time feels like Harry Potter to me lol...Christmas, Halloween, September, summer. ;)
Yeah, you got me there. Halloween is a good time for HP too, not so much summer, more like after-summer-school-start :-)
DeleteWell, I guess my giveaway wasn't that popular this time. :P But, hey! You're a winner! Lol...I'll msg you on Twitter too. :)
