RULES FOR ENTERING:
a. Post a comment to the blog entries of the books you would like to win AND answer the question that goes with it. There will be one summer word giveaway at a time.
Today's Question: What's your favorite part about going to the beach: swimming, boat rides, walking the beach, building sand castles, or relaxing in the sun with a book? Mine is the book part of course! I also love walking on the sand and feeling the waves. Growing up near the coast and now living so far away from it, I've come to realize how much I miss the sound of the waves!
b. Enter on or before the date specified. Today's book winner will be drawn on August 9.
c. Check back for the next summer theme word giveaway!
Today's summer word: "beach." The books are the Beach House Series! Books 1 and 2 are by Sally John and book 3 is by Trish Perry.
Book 1: The Beach House
Description:
Bravely facing "40" with fun and sun, four women reunite at a San Diego seaside retreat, looking forward to the camaraderie of old friends and an escape from daily routine. But as relaxation turns to reflection, can they put aside problems from the past and share the struggles and decisions they each brought with them?
Book 2: Castles in the Sand
Description:
When Susan and Drake Starr discover that their 20yearold daughter Kenzie is pregnant, their lives are turned upside down. The news sends Drake, a pastor of a huge San Diego church, reeling and he sends Kenzie packing. Susan finds herself caught in the middle. Does loving Drake mean cutting ties with her only child? What will this path mean for her daughter? For herself?
Book 3: Beach Dreams
Description:
Tiffany LeBoeuf recently lost her mother to cancer. Still grieving, Tiffany seeks rest for her body and soul at a cozy beach house in San Diego. A scheduling mix-up causes a double booking, and Tiffany ends up sharing the house with a woman named Eve. When Eve's boyfriend, Jeremy, arrives to surprise Eve, he's surprised to see Tiffany as well. He settles in at the beach house next door, and what happens after that surprises them all.
My Review:
I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this series! I haven't had a chance to read the third yet, but I have heard wonderful things about it! Wonderful books that make me want to find a beach house to get away to too. Perfect summer reading!
