Before I announce the giveaway I wanted to say how much I loved the Military blog hop. I came across so many amazing mil spouses. I look forward to reading all my new friend's blogs
And now for the giveaway. For the past few weeks I tried to come up with a great idea for a giveaway and it wasn't until I came across another giveaway that I got the idea. As I have mentioned in the past Emily Giffin is one of my favorite authors. She has a new book coming out next week called Heart of the Matter. On the author's personal blog she hosted a giveaway for one lucky person to receive a signed copy of her newest book. As I myself entered the giveaway I saw many of my fellow bloggers also enter. So I decided to giveaway her newest book. For those of you that have never read her, she is amazing. Here is a picture of the book cover and a synopsis courtesy of Barnes and nobles.
Tessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life.
Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie--a boy who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance--and even to some degree, friendships--believing that it is always safer not to expect too much.
Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children. But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined.
In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. Each being tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovering what truly matters most.
One thing I love about Emily Giffin's book is that her character's or the situations her characters face are always something I can relate too. Her writing style is amazing and I can't wait for this newest book.
So if you love Emily Giffin enter the giveaway or if you are looking for an amazing read or to discover a new author join also.
Here are the rules of the giveaway
1. Comment about why you want to win this book. And if you have read her books before tell me which one was your favorite and why
2. Also within your comment leave me your email address so that if you win I have some way of contacting you
3. Feel free to post about my giveaway on twitter, facebook or on your personal blog

Good luck everyone

Blog Hoppin was ama-zing! I enjoyed it so much and have found way too many awesome blogs. : D
ReplyDeleteI am of course joining the giveaway, while I've never read any of her books I do love a good book and when someone suggests a great author then I tend to at least read it. :D
What a great giveaway! I love Emily Giffin Books :) Like you said, she always writes about things I can relate to!

LOVE Emily Giffin! I've read all her books, but it's been awhile so I can't tell you which is my favorite. I read all the time...it would be so great to have this waiting on me to read instead of having to hunt it down at the library! Love the giveaway!
ReplyDeletesaraheileenivy@gmail.com
I have not read this but would love to.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE this book! I'm a huge Emily Griffin fan! All of her books are great but Something Borrowed is probably my favorite. I would like to win this [because I love her] & most importantly because I am so impatient & am #37th on the list at the library! :)

I have never read any of her stuff, but I am on the lookout for Baby Proof, everyone raves about it! I'd love to read this one too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her books.. I have them all. Read them all. My favorite (I have two!) is something borrowed and something blue... AMAZING. I love Rachel!!!!!!

I loved the blog hop as well. :) It's great reading everyone's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Emily Griffin before, but I hear she is an amazing writer. I would love to be a writer myself someday.

I have never read Emily Griffin. This book sounds really good. I have been missing out :) I would love the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteemmas.momma03@gmail.com
I am sad to say that I haven't read any of her books. They're on my list & at one point I requested them from the library, but they all came in at the same time and I wasn't able to get any of them read before I had to take them back. :-(
ReplyDeleteI think it seems like such a good read! The love women have for their children is such a powerful motive for living... and I bet Emily Griffen captured those moments so well. Whether or not I win, I'll pick up this book- hoping it will be one I don't put down! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you did your first giveaway!
Sounds like a great read! I read Love the One You're With and really enjoyed it, so I'd love to read another book by her!

I LOVE HER! I've read all her books and was planning on buying the book, but trying to win it is much better :)
ReplyDeleteemily.longley@yahoo.com
I love those books too!! They're great. I was going to buy it too so I'll participate :)
ReplyDelete1. I want the book because...I love her as an author. My favorite was probably Something Blue, even though I sort of read the books backwards. I really do like them all though- but that one is my fave.

3. Will do! ;)
Oh man, I love Emily Giffin, so I'd obviously love to win this book! My favorite is Something Borrowed. It was the first book of hers that I read, and I read it in less than a day because I was so into it!
ReplyDeletejmvanlaan@gmail.com

Entry #1 - I want this book so badly to take with me to the beach this summer. I have read all of her books and Something Borrowed has to be my favorite - it's so naughty. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have my email. :)
Entry #2 - I added this to my giveaway roll on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm new to your blog. I saw your contest through another blog and decided to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win because, while I haven't read any of her books, I've always wanted to. The main reason I should win is because I'm a writer. I write fiction novels and treasure each and every book I get to read. I would love to give this one a try!!
My email is CMShelstad@gmail.com.
I'm going to be linking to this blog later tonight (I have to go to work, blah). Check it out at chamahash.blogspot.com later on today or tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI really have enjoyed reading all of Emily Giffin's books! I think my favorite was Something Borrowed...but mainly b/c it was the very first one that I read.
