The BIG Book Giveaway!

Stacey Zink

Happy 3rd-anniversary suburbanthoughts!!

Back in May the idea of a big book giveaway began to form in my mind. It was about that time I noticed the number of blog followers inching closer to the 1,000 milestone, then in July, we reachedBook picture 3 over a thousand followers!  That’s one of the best blog “birthday” presents ever.

I owe a HUGE thank you to each and every one of you: the readers of this little blog. I still can’t fathom people actually read what I write, but you do and I’m so thankful! I remember when I started this blog. I sat on the couch, looked across the living room,  and asked my husband: “what will I write about?”

God answered that question. I love to read, so books are never in short supply at our house. In fact, I have several books to give away today! A few authors even graciously offered signed copies!

Let’s talk books.  Here are the categories:

“Laugh Till You Cry” Category:

The complete 4 book set of Janice Thompson’s Weddings by Design series SIGNED by the author.  I ADORE this series. It has my favorite character that Janice has written, Hannah McDermott, a successful photographer living in Galveston, TX. You will meet Hannah in book one of this hilarious series.

 

 

“Heroes that make you swoon” Category:

The Butterfly & the Violin SIGNED (Kristy Cambron), Rocky Mountain Dreams SIGNED (Danica Favorite),

“Romances that make you SIGH”  Category:

I love a good love story and if it includes a hero in the form of a prince, well add it to my cart. Not all heroes are princes and in these three books you will meet three very different men who are all worthy of the title.

“Adventure is good for the soul” Category:

Three very different books, but all with strong characters and storylines you won’t forget. There are certain authors that guarantee a sleepless night and all three of these writers fit that category. Get ready for adventure, love, and more.
