I'm pleased to announce the winner of my bloggy giveaway a few entries below.  I used a random # generator and the winner is #20, Annabelle!  Congratulations and enjoy your new book!!!

Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway and for making this such a fun experience for me!

It's time for the Quarterly Giveaway Carnival at Bloggy Giveaways!  This is my first time participating ... I'm so excited!

I'm giving away a copy of The Prayer of Jabez for Women by Darlene Wilkinson. 

This giveaway is open to residents of the United States only.  Please leave a comment on this post letting me know why you'd like to win this book along with an email addy if you are not a HSB blogger (so I can get in touch with you if you win).  This giveaway is open to bloggers and non-bloggers.  One entry per person, please.  The deadline for entries is 8am EST, Saturday, April 26, 2008.  A winner will be drawn and announced later that day.  

Good luck and have fun!

I don't get to read as often as I like anymore.  There always seems to be too much going on in the house (i.e., noise).  I like it quiet when I read. 

I need to finish up Beth Moore's Get Out Of That Pit.  I started this back in June and think I'm on chapter 8 or thereabouts so I'm almost finished.  It's definitely one I need to read over and over to get it to really hit home.

I've also been re-reading Pat Conroy's Beach Music.  This is one of my favorite books and I re-read it every 2 to 3 years.

I also picked up a couple of books from the library today - Don Colbert's Stress Less and Jennifer Chiaverini's The Quilter's Homecoming.  I started both today.  LOL  So, I have 4 books going at once, which is not something I typically do.
