"Oh the weather outside is frightful..."
It seems much of the country is dealing with a lot of snow these days. We have certainly had a lot lately ourselves! For the most part, I am ok with it because I have my sewing projects and my books to read and, as long as I don't have to drive in it, I'm content to be home.
So, for me, winter is a great season for reading! And, in honor of that, I am having a week-long giveaway! Every day for this week, I will have a book to give away. I hope you will find something you would like to read!
Those rules again:
1.) To enter the drawing for a book, just answer my random question for the day in the comments of the post.
Today's question: What's your favorite hot beverage? Are you a coffee drinker? Tea? Hot Chocolate?
My Answer: Yes to them all! I love coffee with flavored cream or a specialty coffee drink like a Peppermint Mocha. I like tea in the afternoon, especially when my mom visits; chai tea is the BEST! I like hot chocolate, but I'm kind of a "snob" about it since I really only like it from scratch or a "melting chocolate" that is really rich, so I don't have it very often. I don't drink apple cider at all.
2.) Be reachable by email should you win, so I can let you know.
3.) Enter by January 28, a winner will be selected the following day.
4.) Come back again tomorrow!
Today's book:
A Heart Most Worthy by Siri Mitchell
Description:
The elegance of Madame Forza's gown shop is a far cry from the downtrodden North End of Boston. Yet each day Julietta, Annamaria, and Luciana enter the world of the upper class, working on finery for the elite in society. The three beauties each long to break free of their obligations and embrace the American dream-and their chance for love. But the ways of the heart are difficult to discern at times. Julietta is drawn to the swarthy, mysterious Angelo. Annamaria has a star-crossed encounter with the grocer's son, a man from the entirely wrong family. And through no intent of her own, Luciana catches the eye of Billy Quinn, the son of Madame Forza's most important client. Their destinies intertwined, each harboring a secret from their families and each other, will they be found worthy of the love they seek?
My Thoughts:
Siri Mitchell is one of my favorite authors! I am not usually a big fan of historical fiction, but her books are wonderful and have the rich and strong characters that I love.
I drink coffee and hot chocolate the most, but only the specialty versions normally. I just tried a Chai Latte the other day and LOVED it! So that's getting added to my list! Oh, and peppermint hot chocolate is the bomb!

I have to have my one big mug of hot coffee in the morning. I love Community Coffee Breakfast Blend as well as flavored coffee too with stevia and flavored creamer. I love herbal tea at night without sweeteners.
I love Siri Mitchell's books and haven't read this one yet.

Absolute favorite? Hot cider!
I have one Siri Mitchell book I got for review and never read because I just couldn't get past the premise. I was afraid it was going to be too intense. So I never signed up for any more. I wonder if I'm missing out?

I actually like a lot of hot drinks in
the Winter...I suppose my favorite drink
is very mild coffee with lots of creamer!
Many thanks, Cindi

While I love tea, hot chocolate and apple cider my number one hot beverage is COFFEE! I probably drink more coffee a day then I do water (not good I know) but I love Hazelnut flavored coffee.
Smiles & Blessings,

I am definitely, absolutely a COFFEE drinker. It's my water. :)
I love historical fiction. And this book goes to my wishlist. In fact, I am a late bloomer/convert to Goodreads. This is where I catalogue all my books.
Siri Mitchell sounds familiar to me. Checking out now what books she has written before.
Have a pleasant day!
