I’m a mom learning to balance my family, faith, and writing career.

Calling All Readers and a Contest!

It’s been a little quiet around here! I know, I know this blog has been book review heavy and such, but that’s because I’ve been living life, meeting deadlines, and LOVE to help promote fellow writers.

I just started Twittering, so my day to day activities are recorded there. But I’d love to honor my faithful readers and coax you to comment by offering a contest for FREE books!

So start commenting on NEXT WEEKS posts including today and tomorrow! The person with the most comments at the end of next week will win a box of books. Contest ends Saturday, May 17th, and I’ll try and email the winner on the 18th or 19th!

The books will include but are not limited to:

Fiction:

Coming Unglued by Rebeca Seitz
The Penny by Joyce Meyer (currently reading and enjoying this one!)

Nonfiction: 

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not by Trish Ryan
I’m starting to rethink my priorities and if readers aren’t connecting with me, then I’m not doing my job here. Hopefully now that my WIP is turned in I’ll have more creative energy to pour into this blog! Thanks for sticking with me!

    Gina, it’s okay for your blog to have lots of book reviews. Since I started reading Christian blogs, I’ve loved learning about new books and authors, as well as the blogger’s personal review. It just grieves me that there is not enough time left in this life to read everything I want to.

    And the more I read your blog, the more real you become as a person, Gina. So keep up the good work!

    Carole, I can so relate to not having enough time to read. I have mountains of books on my bookshelf and I WANT to read them all, but I’m having to be picky and learn not to finish a book that’s just so-so. Hopefully I’ll finish a couple more before I send off the box of books!
