3 Year Blogiversary Day 1: A Welcome & A Giveaway!


Wow it is so hard to believe that I have been blogging for THREE WHOLE YEARS! It's with sheer disbelief that I have almost 300 followers when I didn't think I'd even get to ten. I've met so many great bloggers and reader friends willing to dish and discuss books with that I could probably talk all day  for a whole year with a different one each day and still have friends left over. I don't know where I'd be without your encouragement and willingness to stick with me even when I get blogger's block! I love finding a great book and learning about the authors who write them so I figured there would be no better way to celebrate than sharing some great authors with you!

Throughout this week, starting tomorrow, I will be hosting an author friend I'd like you to meet. Sandra Bricker and her dog Sophie have been here before but Sandie has a book coming out this month and I just had to have her tell you all about it! I have some brand new friends to introduce to you too -- Mesu Andrews, Ramona K. Cecil, and Lisa Norato with her dog Chaka! All of these lovely ladies are going to tell you a bit about the books they have coming out in March. Did I mention there will be some wonderful surprises offered up each day? Just you wait and see, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed! ;-)

If you haven't already please grab one of the blog buttons on the left sidebar of this blog and let your friends know that it is party time!!! I hope to see you here everyday or at least one day if you can.

Now for what you've been waiting for--the giveaway announcement! I'm giving away The Maid of Fairbourne Hall by Julie Klassen, Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings, and Heart's Safe Passage by Laurie Alice Eakes to one lucky winner! Winner will be announced Sunday, March 18 on this blog. Giveaway open to US Residents only. Please read the entry form for all details and rules.


CORRECTION: The form incorrectly states that the giveaway ends on March 15 but it ends March 17 so please feel free to enter up until that date. 



Good luck and happy reading!!!
