'Twas The Night Before...
Will you have snow for Christmas? There is nothing like the white stuff to sparkle in the darkness. Mal here, and Mackinac Island loves snow for Christmas.
The carriages all change to sleighs with runners and jingle bells on the reins. The sounds of snowmobiles fill the air. I like to go sliding through the snow. It has great smells and I can find the most interesting things. Of course, it's not as much fun when the snow is deeper than me. Then I'm stuck using the shoveled walks and porches.
Meanwhile Caramella prefers to snuggle next to the fireplace. She isn't interested in the snow and gets mad if I shake it off on her. (So I shake it off on her whenever I get the chance.)
Okay, here's the part where I tell you, it's that time of year again, when my writer gives away a book for the holidays. This time she is going to give away two books- one for you and one for your relative or friend.
AND - there will be two winners who will get a book for them and a book for a friend. All you have to do is leave a comment below. Tell me who you would give the extra book to and why.
Then have very happy holidays from me, Caramella, Allie, and all our friends on Mackinac Island.
Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win. Oh and please leave a way for my author to get ahold of you. Cheers!! Mal

I would give my extra book to my friend, Karen, a manager at a community library. There budget is always being cut so she can always put a donated used book into the system where many can enjoy it...OR I would donate to the homeless shelter...I love doing that! I kind of think of it as food for the soul...OR leave it in the USO lounge to be enjoyed by the troops and their families.
ReplyDeleteRenee, Please email me your address! nancy j parra (at) yahoo (dot) com
DeleteThanks!!
I would give the extra book to my father-in-law's wife. She reads almost exclusivvely true crime books - once gave me like 2-3 bags full of books she had read and didn't want anymore. She needs to widen her reading horizons, and learn there are some decent folks in the world.

ReplyDeleteOur three rescued furbabies don't like snow (heck, they hate rain) So, thankfully, we rarely get snow here in San Angelo, Texas! Thanks for the opportunity as I would love to give a copy to my sister.

ReplyDeleteWe have snow here, about a foot of it, with more on the way. Unfortunately, we usually have snow until at least the beginning of April. By that time it doesn't seem so beautiful anymore. If I were lucky enough to win, I would give the extra book to my friend and former library colleague, who is the one who introduced me to the cozy mystery genre.
