Welcome to my little blog! As you can see it only has 18 posts (19 incl this one) and it is still early day so you may not find it extremely interesting. But it is. Of course it is. And it will be.
I have two things to giveaway. Well actually it is more as a return favor if you prefer that. Because I need some linky love and have yet not had time to add my own link list I thought this would be a great time. I would like to connect with other mom bloggers and get to know them well. So I would like to pay you with some linky love as well.
I have $10 to giveaway to one lucky winner.
PayPal or Amazon Gift card, or any other gift card you may want to use. Yes it may not be a lot but it is only a small symbol of what my friendship could be.
How to win these blessed $10: Leave a comment telling me the best book you have ever read.
Double entry and a way to show some love: Subscribe to this blog so that I have a reason to start updating it more frequently. Let me know you subscribed.
Tripple Entry: Say Hi, Subscribe and put a link to this blog on your blog. This is a great way for us to get to know each other. I will of course return the favor and add your blog to my link list!
Giveaway ends: Friday Night 00.00 EST.
Winner will be notified within a few days, make sure you have a way for me to contact you if you win.
Good luck and I hope to get to know you better! :)

Oh, don't consider it "buying love" just think of it as "sowing blessings" heh-heh.
I already love your blog just from your header!
I lost my link list awhile back and have not built it back yet, so I can't add you right now, but I will subscribe!
The best book I've ever read (besides the bible of course, which is truly my favorite book in the world!) is Black by Ted Dekker.
It is a must read and really changed the way I view my relationship with God. (and it's actually a trilogy, Black, Red, and White you will not be able to put them down!)

Gone With the Wind--be sure to enter my giveaway!
The best book I ever read, other than the bible...wow...hmmm...I like to read books in series'...so I like many of the Beverly Lewis Amish Series books!!! I don't think I could single one out!!! :) thank you so much!
oh wow- no way can i pick just 1 fav book! stepping heavenward, excellent wife, road to reality- that's just 3.
Hmmm.....I think Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani! Thansk for sharing!
To Kill A Mockingbird has always been one of my favorites
The Study Series by Maria V. Snyder is very good (the first one is Poison Study). As is the Katie Chandler series by Shanna Swendson (the first one is Enchanted, Inc). Any Nicholas Sparks book is great. There is a great YA series called Once Upon a Time; they are fairy tales retold. Different authors contribute. And they are very good-I'll give you a link so you can see all the titles. http://www.simonsays.com/content/destination.cfm?tab=1&Ns=P_FORMATSORTGROUP%7c0%7c%7cCP_PUBDATEGAP%7c0&N=4294967162&pid=484666

owatz (AT) telus (DOT) net
Of course the Bible is the best book, but I imagine you want a fiction book, so The Elevator by Angela Hunt is a top notch one.
smilingsal55[at]yahoo[dot]com
Oh that is easy.... "Tuesdays with Morrie". However I'm starting the "Last Lecture" and that might top Morrie, or at least tie.
Just one? not sure if I can single out one like that, the others might get jealous and jealous books are, as a rule, not pretty ;) I would recommend The China Garden by Liz Berry, it's YA, but it's an old favorite of mine =) btw, I second whoever recommended Maria V. Snyder's Study series, it's a great series =)
My favorite book is "In An Instant" by Bob Woodruff.
Running with Scissors. Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved the Little House books- they got me thu some tough times, and I realyl wanted to be LAura. Pelase add me!

The book that pops to mind in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. I loved it. I've suggested to various people and they've all loved it.
Best book I've read would probably be 'The Secret'. I subscribed by email.
Hmmm I don't really read a lot, I know, I should, but I don't... I'm reading P.S. I love you right now, I'm also reading Batista's autobiography... but, I'd have to say the best book i've read is by terri mcmillian, How stella got her groove back, I love that book...
I subscribed to you! :D
Let's see, I was going to say the Beverly Lewis books, but someone already mentioned it. So let me add "Hinds Feet On High Places" by Hannah Hunard or maybe even Frank Peretti's "This Present Darkness" or "Piersing the Darknes" Both were good!
I'm sure other people have said this, but Pride and Prejudice is my all-time fav. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Best book ever? A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini...it will make you so grateful for your freedoms.
Best book ever? Wow, that's a tough one. I read lots and lots, and I'm not sure I can pick just one! I love Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet, and the Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis, and the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. And that's just a start!
Happy new blog!
The Bible! It's the best love story ever...
mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
I love The Golden Compass, actually the entire trilogy together makes my all time favorite :)
The Bible is the greatest true story, and I dearly love Charlotte's Web as a fiction book. My 3rd grade teacher read it aloud to us, and this was really sealed my love for reading.
rhondacason @ gmail . com
Oh gosh, best book I've ever read - I really couldn't pick just one, but I will always adore Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery!
Good luck with your burgeoning blog!
oooh..This is hard. I read way too much. Hmm..I'm going to go with Little Women by Lousia May Alcott. I've loved that book ever since I was younger.
bbkling(at)gmail(dot)com

Diary of Anne Frank
luckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
The Bible. That is it. THE best book.
Israel, My Beloved by Kay Author.
dbstout{at}juno{dot}com
It's hard to chose just one book! but Stones from the River is right up there with the best of them!
I know this is a bit of a strange choice, and I can't say I've read it cover-to-cover, but my pick is the Oxford Canadian Dictionary.
I don't know if I can say for sure that it's the best, but I know it's the one I use most often and I'm notoriously indecisive about fiction.

The Kite Runner is the best book I've read so far this summer. Thanks for offering a great giveaway.
Oh, I can't just say one!! I love the Mitford Series by Jan Karon, the Harry Potter series and the Little House on the Prairie series! I know...I have strange tastes!! ;o)
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

It would have to be Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Thanks :)
I subscribed to you via email!
I'd have a hard time choosing just one, but Tamera Alexander's Fountain Creek trilogy is excellent (historical), and Lisa Wingate's Tending Roses series--both are amazing writers, and they intertwine faith and very real characters with good storytelling.
Hope you're getting lots of good ideas!

I don't know what the best book I've ever read is. I used to read a lot (lot lot lot), but then I had my girl and not only do I not read as much anymore, but I can't seem to remember anything outstanding that I read before! I did have a long love affair with F. Scott Fitzgerald, and read The Beautiful and the Damned about 15 times... but I don't know if it was really the best book I ever read.
I will say that my favorite author is a guy named Andrew Vachss. He writes (mostly) hard-boiled semi-detective/vigilante stories, with a distinct leaning toward protecting children.
Not sure if I really answered your question, but thanks for the giveaway all the same! :)
The best book I have read is "Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous. It is a heartwrenching story of a teenage girl who has had a horrible life and is a substance abuser. The book is said to have been her diary. It is definitely an eyeopener to what this type of life can do to a person
then there were none
To Kill a Mockingbird has been my favorite book for over 25 years now. I try to reread it every couple of years. It really was a life changing book for me.
It is hard to pick one, but I really liked The Hawk and the Dove by Penelope Wilcock.
michelle at northofthe49 dot com
i love the catcher in the rye. a classic!
My current favorite book is "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. Thanks!
Best book is easily......
Zombie Survival Guide!!!! :)
Right now I'm reading In the Hall of the Dragon King by Stephen Lawhead -- It is written for tweens but it is very good if you like fantasy books.
my favourite book in the whole wide world is "A Year in the Merde" by
Stephen Clarke.

By far--the Bible is my fav book to read! ;)
The Bible is far and away the best book I have ever read. After that, I really can't rank them; I like different books for different reasons. If you want good mom blogs, go to 5 minutes for mom, they have a lot of links.
