Dear Readers,
You've been so great the last year of my bloggy life, and I've wanted to do a give-away for awhile now. My first thought was something handmade, but I think that will be saved for another time, as I just can't churn out anything else until my Handmade Christmas is done! My next thought was...well...what the heck else do I write about?
My other favorite hobby....books!
My 2008 Book List was a bit scattered. Of course, out of the 20 books I had on my list, I read a little over half...and then I read almost 19 more that weren't on my list! (Current read: Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin for my newly started Grace Chapel Book Club for January.)
I will post my 2009 Book List in another post, but it is a lot shorter. I think it is 15 books, and three of them are short short short poetry books. I just couldn't follow the list when there were so many books I found at the library. Also, with a new baby coming, AND a new book club (that's 12 extra books right there!) I wanted to give myself some space!
Onto the giveaway already....
For this giveaway, I have a copy each of my favorites from this year, found in mint condition at my favorite used bookstore, Bluestem Books.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Favorite book of all time? Just might be Lonesome Dove.
i honestly am not sure what my favorite book of all time is....i feel like a bad person for that!
I am currently reading new moon after finishing Twilight....
I think my favorite book is Three Dog Life, by Abigail Thomas. I LOVE memoirs and this one made me laugh and cry!

Favorite book of all time... hmmm... Probably has to be The Outsiders. I don't even know how many times I read it in high school. I should read it again and see if I still love it as much as I did then!
