Isn't "Normal" Just a Setting on the Washer? - Get Ready For Lots of Giveaways! Great Book Giveaway #1!

Jan. 28, 2009 - Get Ready For Lots of Giveaways! Great Book Giveaway #1!

I admit it...I'm a book junkie. I LOVE books of all kinds - especially books related to homeschooling. I have gotten quite a collection over the last few years. I've bought book lots, ended up with so many doubles, and some I just don't need anymore.

That's where you come in. The Lord has really been dealing with my heart about being a cheerful giver, and being a blessing to others. I want to bless my fellow homeschoolers with some really great books!

Here's the deal...I will host a giveaway once a month for the next few months. I'm going to be giving away some fantastic, some hard to find homeschool books! I have Charlotte Mason, classical education books, Christian textbooks and teacher editions, reference books, homeschool helpers, and good, moral fiction with Christian themes.

All you have to do is leave a comment specifying which book you want to win. That's it! Be sure to include the link to your blog or your email address so I can notify you if you're this month's chosen winner. Winners will be chosen at random.

This month's giveaway is for your choice of one of three books:

1. Simply Grammar An Illustrated Primer by Karen Andreola This is an excellent grammar guide that follows the Charlotte Mason method. A broad range of grade levels can use this primer. I love the simple illustrations and simplicity of the lessons. A great addition to any homeschool bookshelf!

OR

2. Western Civilization Volume I: To 1715 by Jackson J. Spielvogel, Sixth Edition This is a great history reference book, full of rich, colorful maps, illustrations, and photos. This book retailed for almost $70 new. It appears to be upper high school, college level material. I haven't read it all the way through, so I'm not completely sure of the content. A quick glance through the book for offensive material didn't raise any alarms. Full of interesting history facts for the history lover. This text is used in Tapestry of Grace's Rhetoric level for Year 1, I think.

3. Teaching and Learning America's Christian History Developed by Rosalie J. Slater. This text is part of the Noah Plan Principle Approach. It is red hardcover. In good condition, with lots of use left in it.

Books are gently used. Simply Grammar and Teaching and Learning America's Christian History are in a little better condition than Western Civilization, but all have lots of use left in them. They are coming from a smoke free home, but we have outdoor pets (in case of allergies).

Here are the rules:

Oops! A fellow blogger brought up a great question about something I forgot to cover. Do you have to pay for shipping? NO! I want these books to be no-strings-attached gifts. I will pay to ship them media mail with delivery confirmation. You do not have to pay ANYTHING! :)

1. You must be 18 or older to enter.

2. You must live within the U.S.

3. Giveaway ends February 18, 2009. Winners will be chosen at random, and notified by email. If winner hasn't responded within one week, a new winner will be chosen. Be sure to check those spam boxes!

4. Please leave a comment and let me know which book you want to win! That way, I'll receive a comment notification and I'll enter you in the correct drawing. (Don't forget to give me your email address and/or link to your blog)

5. Winners will be announced by February 20. Then, a new contest or giveaway with at least two more books (or book sets) will be announced. It's going to be great fun!

I would really appreciate it if you'd like to mention my giveaway on your blog and tell your friends. I'm sure I'll have something homeschooling families will like and can use! Remember - I'll be giving away at least two books or book sets a month until my bookshelves aren't overstuffed anymore! (Believe me, this could take several months to achieve!)

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to read your comments! I'm looking forward to giving away lots of books, and meeting new friends!

I look forward to hearing from you and maybe getting some books!
