Read on to see what you have the chance at nabbing today... In case you don't know, I am a fan of pretty much all things British , especially regency set novels and British television. While it isn't a Regency novel, Sandra Byrd 's Roses Have Thorns  IS set in England and it IS one of my all-time favorite books. I don't know about you but I can't think of anything more British than tea so I thought I'd give away another copy of Roses Have Thorns (slightly used) ,  a brand new "Tea Time" print garden flag, AND an adorable, brand new, floral tea cup set (2 cups, 2 saucers, and storage box) all to ...

In case you didn't know it's my 4 year blogiversary ! I can't believe I've been at this for so long! it seems like yesterday that I first posted that picture of baby Coco but it was really March 3, 2009. Like my dad always says, the older you get the faster time goes. Le sigh. Last year, I celebrated my 3 year blogiversary in April since I was so busy in March and this year the month kind of got away from me too so this week is the official party! You don't want to miss it. I'm giving away books all week and the grand prize is going to be AWESOME! I've never given away anything quite like it before.

Throughout my journey as reader, reviewer and blogger I've met a lot of great people. Some of them you've already met if you've been visiting each site on the Seasons of Love party/blog hop this week. They are all prolific bloggers and great friends. I've also been blessed enough to meet some great authors who have also become friends, including Laura Frantz, author of The Frontiersman's Daughter , Courting Morrow Little and the upcoming book, The Colonel's Lady. I don't know how she does it but in between her family, and writing books she also maintains a great website with interesting posts on everything from history to writing and devotions. I think if you visit her site you'll be a follower for life! Without further ado here's Laura Frantz!
