"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: If you had to choose between being really hot or really cold, weatherwise, what would you pick and why?
My Answer: In Wisconsin we can often get a bit of both extremes! Neither are reallly my favorite, but I guess I would rather have the cold just because I am not a big fan of being overly warm and sweaty.
2.) Be reachable by email should you win, so I can let you know.
3.) Enter by January 31, a winner will be selected the following day.
4.) Come back again tomorrow!
Today's book:
The Baker's Wife by Erin Healy
Description:
Before Audrey was the baker's wife, she was the pastor's wife.
Then a scandalous lie cost her husband a pastoral career. Now the two work side-by-side running a bakery, serving coffee, and baking fresh bread. But the hurt still pulls at Audrey.
Driving early one morning to the bakery, Audrey's car strikes something-or someone-at a fog-shrouded intersection. She finds a motor scooter belonging to a local teacher. Blood is everywhere, but there's no trace of a body.
Both the scooter and the blood belong to detective Jack Mansfield's wife, and he's certain that Audrey is behind Julie's disappearance.
But the case dead-ends and the detective spirals into madness. When he takes her family and some patrons hostage at the bakery, Audrey is left with a soul-damaged ex-con and a cynical teen to solve the mystery. And she'll never manage that unless she taps into something she would rather leave behind-her excruciating ability to feel other's pain.
My Thoughts:
Loved it! See review from earlier today here.
I would choose really cold because we're going through a heat wave at the moment, and it's driving me insane!!

Hmmm, neither one is great but I guess, I would take the heat! Of course, having a fan or air conditioning and something cold to drink would help. :)

I generally pick being cold over being hot; I can always add another layer, but there comes a point at which I can't really shed anything more!

I prefer being hot! I don't really like being cold. I have an extra heater on now because I'm cold. I love summer!

I think I would rather be really cold. I find it easier to warm up by adding layers of clothes and putting the heat up than I do trying to cool off.

I guess really cold. I would stay home by the fire and wrap up good!

I hate heat. I hate to sweat. I love Fall and Winter seasons because I love cold. My thought is you can always bundle up, but there is only so much you can take off. At my office, the heat is really messed up in our unit. We tell it the desired heat is 70 degrees and by noon it's up to 80 on my half of the unit and 75 at the back half of the unit. TERRIBLE! I live in Northeast Indiana and when it's 20 degrees outside I open up my office window and I'm comoftable all day at the 80 inside converges with 20 outside and it's 60 in my office. Sweet!

I guess I'd pick really cold because you can always put on more layers of clothing, if its really hot you can only take off so much clothes!

I pick hot. Hubby says I must be part reptile! We had 70 degree weather here in SC this week. I loved it. I sat outside and read and tried to store up sunshine for those bleak days ahead!
