Giveaway Time!

What better way to welcome in a month that promises the start of spring than having a giveaway.  As you may recall I recently told you about a book I enjoyed and was later contacted by the author offering to give an autographed copy of "Amish Peace" to one of my readers.

To enter this giveaway leave a comment telling me where your favorite spot is to curl up with a good book. Mine is on an ancient recliner/rocker in the corner of our "fun" room.

For an extra entry, post a link on your blog about this giveaway and come back and leave another comment.
The winner will be chosen on Saturday March 6th using Random Generator.
 
Giveaway is now closed and a winner has been chosen.

  1. I love to sit on a soft comfortable surface when reading. But sometimes I read when I put the younger ones down for a nap. So that's usually in my rocking chair. It's made of wood, it doesn't have a cushion, but it's so comfortable (for a wooden rocking chair).

  2. My favourite place is the recliner sitting in the bay window of the lounge. It catches the light and I can see enough of the street to be interesting but not so much that I'm distracted!

  3. My favorite place is a recliner in my bedroom, although any place I happen to be with a few moments to spare becomes a "favorite" place for my most favorite pastime.

  4. I only read when I go to bed.This is possibly due to the fact that I know there's a pair of reading glasses there.I'm not very good at keeping them safe otherwise!!!LOL!

  5. Hubby and I have a double recliner in the great room, along with my Noah Ark afghan that is where I curl up.
    It helps if there is a fire in the fireplace too!

  6. My favorite place to read would be anywhere quiet. So that would be either in the bedroom or sitting out on the back porch with a lemonade or glass of iced tea in hand and my book in the other.

    I am so thrilled about this give-a-way! I LOVE reading Amish books (be it in paper form or online) I have always been facinated by their way of life and their dependence on the LORD. I admit, not everything do I agree with but there are many things that the Christian sect can glean from the Amish culture.

    Thank you for allowing the LORD to use you through your blog to touch so many people. I know I am proud to say I have been one of them.

  76. My favorite place to read during the summer is on our screened in porch ... I love listening to the birds and the wind chimes while I revel in a good book.

Thanks for the opportunity to win the book, it looks wonderful.
