First Ever Book Give Away

-
Taking sabbaticals from reading in my personal thoughts is not a healthy way for me to live. I can tell that I am much more stressed, even finding little pleasure in my day to day activities. It might be consider rather selfish to think this way. Yet, I have heard it said that taking care of yourself first helps you to work better and care for others in a more effective manner. Since it is necessary that I focus all my attention on work at this point reading is not an option. Therefore, I am opting for something just as fun! A contest. A fun one at that. I am going to start a monthly book give away.

Since I know some of you have read all of the books I have already talked about I am having a hard time getting creative and I hope that my skills at developing fun and exciting ways to get you involved with reading will grow (I welcome your thoughts on this avenue as well).

Here are my thoughts for this first ever (Not another Book) give away or contest. This being the "love" month I would like to hear about great love stories (Books that is.... Or even books that invoked your greatest love story.

What to do: Share a paragraph of your favorite love story or how the book made your personal love story the best by Feb 25th and I will pick a winner to receive Karen Kingsbury's New "Above the Line: Take One." (Release is due March 10th). I really can't wait to read all of your favorites and hear your stories.

How did the book give-away go? I could not think of a single thing to submit! I hope someone out there was able to!

At the top of my "to read later" pile...

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy

Another Book Give Away - Let's explore!

I have been sitting idle for a while on the whole book contest/give away idea mainly because so many people just email me "hey, I'll take a free book." The point of the contest is to learn more about books and reading right!? With that said, I don't really want to hear that you will accept a free book. I am sure that lots of people would take a free book. All of that said, let's try another book give away for Fall. Here is the requirement: I want to hear about what you read this summer. It does not have to be fiction, Christian, or even a book. Perhaps you read a great magazine article. Share you favorite read from this summer and why. I am going to review all the posts and emails and pick a winner based on what they share. Truly, I look forward to hearing your stories. This is how I learn about great reads myself. Enjoy! (I promise the reward that you earn is a great book!) Contest Ends: October 25, 2009
