Birthday Bash Giveaway - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of my Bloggy Birthday Bash!

This has been such fun so far-- it almost makes me want to have another birthday this year... almost, but not quite.  But like the saying goes, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Today's giveaway will consist of books! 

I love books-- the smell of them, the feel of them and just being surrounded by them.  I am a book junkie and a wannabe librarian... minus the dealing with people and actually working.  I just want to be surrounded by books and read to my heart's content!  But that will have to wait until the next season of my life... and I'm okay with that-- because they are worth it!


The THREE books that I'm giving away have been a great source of encouragement to me, as well as a swift kick in my beeeeehind.  I'm not usually one to read a book more than once, but these are worth keeping on the shelf and rereading every now and then.  Y'know, for the aforementioned and much needed kick in the bootay!  While I don't have too much junk in the trunk (asians generally have a flat derriere), I do have an attitude that often needs correcting, priorities that need to be adjusted, as well as those not-so-good days where I need to be reminded of God's love and plan for me as a woman, a wife, a mother.

                           

If you would like to win all three of these brand new paperback books, simply leave me a comment (with your contact info!).  This contest, as well as all the other ones for my birthday bash, is open all week long.  I will randomly pick a winner sometime on Saturday for each giveaway.

And don't forget to visit me again tomorrow for a new giveaway!

Happy birthday! These look like wonderful books. I actually had a copy of Praying Wife but it got smoke damaged in our house fire.

I would love to be a librarian too! Just being surrounded by all of those books seems heavenly. I would also like to be the book-buyer. Getting paid for pouring through catalogs and buying stuff seems so fun! :)

Posted by missionsmom

Above all THINGS in this world, books are my favorite. Of course, I am only referring to those worldly things we choose to surround ourselves with. I would be delighted to receive those 3 wonderful books (that I have never read!)
Just contact me through my blog.

These books look great. I have another book of Elizabeth George. She is an amazing author and encourager. I know what you mean about seasons of life. It may be nice to have the time to all I can't do now with homeschooling little ones yet I will utterly miss my full house of little ones!
Happy Day!

Hi! Happy Birthday! I didn't notice any geographic restrictions so, hope I can enter! Books are my total weakness too! I have TOO many (according to DH) and haven't read any of these....oh, I hope I can win! We are homeschoolers too, just preschool so far, and are having a contest until the end of today for some cloth wipes at http://www.quiverfullfamily.com/blog - you can contact me there too :). And I have some books on the way for review and contest giveaways in the future!
