Christmas Reads

By Anonymous
Happy Wednesday All,

Can you believe it? Just a little over a week until Christmas. (If you look in the margin of this blog you'll see I have a countdown for Christmas and one for New Year's).

Once in awhile I come across Christmas stories I really love. Here's a few:

The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber. (Really funny, and also a fun read).

The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere (based off the hit song. If you cry easily make sure you have a tissue box nearby!)

The Christmas Box Collection by Richard Paul Evans. (This series is what got me reading Richard Paul Evans books).

Of course, The Night Before Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston, Jr. is always a great read and the Nativity stories in the Gospels in the Bible--but I do realize not everyone is Christian--but I don't really know stories dealing with Hanukkah and other holidays.

In any case, whatever you choose to read this season (or any season) hope it takes you away on a wonderful journey :-)

Have A Wonderland Wednesday!

Ugh to The Christmas Shoes. I hear that song and it makes me cry every single time. I don't think I could handle reading the story!

Stephanie,

The story is really nice, but yeah, the song does make me cry. They were showing the movie that goes with the book (and song) on TV and it was the part where the mother is dying and I started to bawl!

I believe the actress who was in Steve Martin's "Father Of The Bride" (she played his daughter) plays the mom in the movie version of "The Christmas Shoes". Good actress :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

She is incredibly nice, funny, encouraging and a delight to be around. You, my dear readers, have a special treat today. Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart .

Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

By Anonymous
Happy Tuesday All, ****CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**** In honor of my birthday (that was on Oct. 15th) I am doing TWO give aways! The FIRST one is TODAY!  Today's give away is a copy of Kerrelyn Sparks' Sexiest Vampire Alive . Kerrelyn, being the awesome person that she is, has agreed to give a signed copy of the novel to ONE lucky commenter on my blog. Here's how it's going to work and please read all instructions CAREFULLY. ONE entry PER person : If you choose to email in your entry: Email to this email ONLY .  Your email should state who your favorite vampire is. And no, it does NOT have to be one of Kerrelyn Sparks' characters, but that would be really cool if you DID mention one of hers. If you choose to enter by commenting on my blog: Leave your FIRST name, email address, and what vampire is your favorite. It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire. You don't know Kerrelyn Spa...
