I will be "seesawing" back and forth between mystery/suspense and chicklit books to give away. Get it? It's like a seesaw: first the mystery book will come up, then the chicklit book will come up; back and forth.
Suspense books will be reviewed and listed for giveaways on Mondays and Thursdays.
On Wednesdays I will throw in a surprise...maybe a non-fiction book, maybe an audio book (I love using those for walking!), maybe a piece of the jewelry I make...who knows?
The drawing for the books will be held 2 weeks after each book is posted. The drawing for today's book will be held on May 9.
Now the rules:
1. Post a comment to the blogs with books that you want to win. In your post you will get to answer a silly question.
Today's question: What shows do you like to watch on TV, if any? I like Law and Order, Dancing with the Stars, and Numb3rs.
2. Not all books I review will be giveaways. Only the ones that have this logo with them or specifically indicate a giveaway.
3. Wait to see if you win.
Today's book is Sister's Ink by Rebecca Seitz
Description:
Sisters, Ink marks the first in a series of novels written by, for, and about scrapbookers. At the center of the creativity and humor are four unlikely young adult sisters, each separately adopted during early childhood into the loving home of Marilyn and Jack Sinclair.
Ten years after their mother Marilyn has died, the multi-racial Sinclair sisters (Meg, Kendra, Tandy, and Joy) still return to her converted attic scrapping studio in the small town of Stars Hill, Tennessee, to encourage each other through life’s highs and lows.
Book one spotlights headstrong Tandy, a successful yet haunted attorney now living back in Orlando where she spent the first eight years of her life on the streets as a junkie’s kid. When a suddenly enforced leave of absence at work leads her to an extended visit with her sisters in Stars Hill, a business opportunity, rekindled romance, and fresh understanding of God’s will soon follow.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book. I especially liked the small town references and could totally relate to Tandy's life in a small town as I grew up in one too--one in our town we had a Tulip Festival instead of an Iris Festival! I can't wait to read more about these sisters! I could also relate to Tandy's struggle to prove herself and find her purpose. Here's hoping my day is coming where it is as clear to me as it became to Tandy.
