WIN TWO JENNIFER BECKSTRAND NOVELS!

The word for today is GRATEFUL.  I am grateful to all of you who come to my blog and read what I have to offer.  I began this blog on March 24th, not having any real idea what I was getting into.  Surprisingly, this blog has seen visitors from ten countries and over 1,500 page views.  I’m deeply grateful.

To say thank you, in conjunction with the Amish genre author Jennifer Beckstrand, we are holding our first giveaway!  Jennifer has generously offered TWO of her novels, Huckleberry Hill and Huckleberry Summer.  I have reviewed both of these books and can highly recommend both.  The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series is simply perfect with a combination of laugh out loud humor, dreamy romance, conflict, meaningful Scripture, and unforgettable characters.


Just leave a comment to have a chance to win the first two novels in Jennifer Beckstrand's The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series.


RULES for winning two Jennifer Beckstrand novels, Huckleberry Hill and Huckleberry Summer:


Leave a comment on today’s blog telling which season is your favorite and why.  The contest will remain open for one week – Monday, May 5th 9:00 am to Monday, May 12th 8:59 am.  All comments posted on this page during that time frame will be included and one name will be drawn.  That person’s name will be posted on Tuesday, May 13th and the winner will need to get me their address so that the books can be sent to them.  It is just that simple and soon you can be reading Jennifer Beckstrand’s wonderful novels!

    I love the Fall. I love to see the trees changing color. Everything is getting ready to spend a long winter in sleep and getting ready for renewal. The animals are busy storing food. It is just a beautiful time of the year. It is a time of reflection. My next favorite is Spring when everything is being reborn. rackylemaire (at) gmail (dot) com

      I love summer because everything is renewing itself from its' winter nap. The flowers are in bloom, and the birds are singing their song. The sun is warming the earth with it wonderful glow. Summer is my all time favorite season. val shaver

    My favorite season is the Fall. I love seeing the leaves change their colors and the days get cooler. I love to decorate during this season with pumpkins and gourds. Going to the orchard to get apples to make apple pies to freeze for the winter time. Beautiful mums and blooming cabbage make landscaping pop with fall colors. Caramel apples, candy corn lol! Most of all a good book to sit on the porch and read with some apple cider. :) Thank you for this chance to win these two books. They would make great additions to my to be read pile. ~ Blessings ~ lisastifler@yahoo.com

    HI. I love all the Seasons, as each one has it's own qualities. Where I live, the Season's are very beautiful. I guess Spring may be my favourite, as everything is coming back alive with beautiful colours. ~Kathleen Harrison~ jkmharrison@shaw.ca & at my group: Amish Books Readers on Facebook.

    I think my favorite season is Spring, but living in FL, we don't really have four seasons. Being born and raised in Central Pa and living in NY for 20 years before moving to Fl 20 years ago, I have definitely experienced the seasons. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway! jynhoffman@yahoo.com

    I love Fall. I love the colors of the leaves, the smell of the leaves burning, the temperatures, visiting the orchards. I enjoy watching the kids very carefully pick out the pumpkins and run through the mazes. The hayrides, Halloween. And my birthday. I'll be 61. Bonnie Schoeneman mahsue953@aol.com

    Do hard to decide. I love spring when everything is new and fresh, blooming, animals giving birth and the earth is renewed. I love autumn for the beautiful colors, the sound of leaves crunching under your feet and my favorite time to walk in the woods. Would love to be entered into your contest. Have a blessed week.

    I have different reasons for loving all seasons, but Fall & Spring are my favorites. Fall because of the colors and also it's my birthday and our anniversary (coming up 45 yrs) in October. I love Spring because that's the time I enjoy sitting on my porch in the warm sun & reading. Spring/summer are my favorite times to read. I can sit on my porch & read a good book & all my stress is relieved. Thanks for this opportunity to possibly win. God bless.

    I love the fall. The weather is just right...Not to hot or cold....Everything around you is about to change...The leaves on the trees are changing colors and falling to the ground making the ground a pretty colors of leaves. The air smell so much better. And I think people are more happy in the fall.....The tree around the lakes/pond are so pretty at this time of the years. I just love the fall......glinda309@yahoo.com

    I love spring the best. I think that will be the season of Heaven. All the beautiful flowers. That's also when the hummingbirds, Baltimore orioles, and rose-breasted grosbeaks return. And I must not forget the butterflies!
