Blogoversary Giveaway #21



Thanks to Tyndale House Publishers, I have a good handful of books to offer to giveaway straight from my mailbox to yours. Today, I have a copy of The Great Christmas Bowl from Susan May Warren. This is a cute little almost 200 page book that I cannot wait to read! My copy is sitting on my bedside table in a pile calling to me and I hope to have a review to you soon. In two weeks, on September 24th, come back to read the FIRST Chapter. I just love Susie's writing!

The Great Christmas Bowl

Marianne Wallace is focused on two things this holiday season: planning the greatest family Christmas ever and cheering on her youngest son's team in their bid for the state championship. Disaster strikes when the team loses their mascot—the Trout. Is it going too far to ask her to don the costume? So what if her husband has also volunteered her to organize the church Christmas tea. When football playoffs start ramping up, the Christmas tea starts falling apart. Then, one by one her children tell her they can't come home for Christmas. As life starts to unravel, will Marianne remember the true meaning of the holidays?

    Susan is one of my favorite authors. I've read the Team Hope series, and the Noble Legacy series and her most recent book Nothing but Trouble, which is the first in her PJ Sugar series. I am looking forward to the next one in the PJ Sugar series! I'm looking forward to see which of the 2 men PJ will eventually end up with!

    Blessings

    I can't believe how we're already heading towards Christmas. Still, youngest son's coming home for midterm, and Thanksgiving before then, so there's a way to go. Still, I love having some special books for Christmas.
