Karen Kingsbury's 9/11 Series Book Giveaway

I'm giving away the following to one (random) winner:

• 1 copy of 'One Tuesday Morning' by Karen Kingsbury
• 1 handmade flower bookmark to match 'One Tuesday Morning'
• 1 copy of 'Beyond Tuesday Morning' by Karen Kingsbury
• 1 handmade flower bookmark to match 'Beyond Tuesday Morning'
• 1 copy of 'Every Now and Then' by Karen Kingsbury
• 1 handmade flower bookmark to match 'Every Now and Then'

Considering it's been almost 10 years since that horrible day of the 9/11 attacks, I've decided to give away Karen Kingsbury's '9/11 series' in memory of all the people that lost their lives that day.

When I read 'One Tuesday Morning', the attacks of 9/11 became more real to me. Considering I was young when it happened, this book helped open my eyes to the tragedy of that day.

The books I'm giving away are used, but are in good condition. Plus, with each book, I will be giving a handmade flower bookmark (that I made) to match that book's cover. I will be using 'Random.org' to pick a winner. Therefore, this will be a random winner and completely non-biased.

Waiting On Wednesday: Dangerous Mercy by Kathy Herman

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Dangerous Mercy: A Novel by Kathy Herman



I read the first book in this series (False Pretenses) and loved it! I can hardly wait to read 'Dangerous Mercy'. 


Publisher: David C. Cook 
Release date: October 1, 2011


About the book: 


This intense psychological thriller is the second book in the Secrets of Roux River Bayou series from best-selling author Kathy Herman.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. —Matthew 5:7

When eighty-five-year-old Adele Woodmore moves to Les Barbes to be near the Broussards—and her namesake, their daughter—she wants nothing more than a comfortable, quiet life. Employing men from Father Vince’s halfway house for the homeless to do odd jobs and landscaping, she delights in the casual conversation she has with them, the fledgling friendships, and the idea that she is helping them get back on their feet.

A series of murders in Les Barbes has cast a pall over the town and, in fact, one of Adele’s handymen becomes a person of interest to the police. But Adele cares for these young men, she knows them, and continues to show them kindness in spite of her friends’ concern. And then one day a murderer walks through Adele’s defenses, sits down at her kitchen table … and they begin to talk …

That's my WoW, what's yours?
