ReplyDeleteThanks for the chances! I love that Pezzy fabric!

ReplyDeleteThe books I have been reading lately have been with my first grade granddaughter and I don't think they would entertain you.
ReplyDeleteI just read an amazing book titled "Wrestling Prayer" by Eric and Leslie Ludy. I consumed this book. Very well worth the read. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't read many books mostly quilting magazines but the last one I read was The Help.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm a follower and you have great giveaways so many thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteabout a book to read??? hmm
ReplyDeletehow about listening to audio books while you sew? that's what I do! I love it.... the other day I listened to the girl with the dragon tattoo, my husband had seen the movie, so as I was listening we were comparing "notes" on it...
I can listen to crime stories, mysteries, romance- really anything. the only books I READ are quilt books! :-)
you have the word robot on BTW
I'd love this! What a fun prize. I love that you included a book. I love reading and I'm always on the look out for a good book to read while I'm nursing. Recently I read through Absolute Surrender. It is a heavy read but a short book so it was a good balance for me. It really got me thinking about my spiritual life. Can't wait to see what everybody else recommends.

ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games was the last book I read that I was completely addicted to. I saw a lot of The Help suggestions, I loved that one too!
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for Jane Austen, so I would go for Northenger Abby. Not a common one like Emma or Sense and Sensibility, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am a loyal follower as well!
ReplyDeleteI read "Love Walked In" and its sequel (can't remember the title!) recently and really enjoyed both. Not too deep, kind of romance/drama/comedy.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent book series I read is Fablehaven if you have not read it read it its great. Got it for the kids and loved it for my self.

I was a school librarian so I tend to read kids' book (they are really the best!). Love the Percy Jackson series, but Wennie Has Wings is a heartbreaking, uplifting, wonderful, awful book that I have never been able to forget. Cried like a baby sitting next to a stranger on a plane - yep, it was that good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway!!!
I am a happy follower of your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI follow!
ReplyDeleteA book : I am currently Reading "Snow flower and the secret fan" It's about women and their love for each other, and their secret language, and sad things too like foot binding. It is set in provincial china. But it's good so far!

I finally got around to reading Going Rogue by Sarah Palin and I highly recommend that. It was nice to get the real story rather than the drivel that passes for fact in the news. I also enjoyed reading about Alaska as I did not know much about the state. For fiction, I am reading The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. Not finished yet, it's about the Salem witch trials based on the author's family history. Sorry for the long comment!
ReplyDeleteIt´s hard to recommend a book in another language than your own ! I do like detectivestories my self, for example Julie Parson or Minette Walters. I enjoyed reading their books.

The last book I read was "The Price of Life" by Nigel Brennan, Kellie Brennan & Nicole Bonnie. It is a true story and Kellie was the Caterer for my wedding and lives in my families small community.
