I've read so many wonderful books that it's difficult pinpoint just one that felt like the best gift. There are so many gifted authors out there, and I've truly enjoyed many, many books. If I have to choose just one I think it might be Unexpected Christmas Hero by Kathy Macias. Very emotive and the plans of reuniting the homeless man on the cover of this book with his long lost family is such a blessing. Thank you for offering this giveaway.

I am SUCH a sludge today in not getting by, so please forgive me (and I know you will because you always yell at me about cutting back when I am crazy swamped like now). But I am happy to say that I actually got some writing done, which is good since I am three months behind on my Jan. 15 book deadline, so THANK YOU, GOD!! Also got the tree and decorations up tonight while hubby and I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie, which is HUGE because I have been pushing myself 18/7 for a long time now and seldom watch movies with him anymore. Time for a change, right??<br /><br />Thank you SO much for doing the givaways and the fabulous review, my friend, and my heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful friends, both new and old, who came by to comment. Wish I could send each and every one a book!!<br /><br />Love you and love this blog!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-56578026242108109792012-12-06T22:32:06.881-05:002012-12-06T22:32:06.881-05:00Enjoyed your review CARRIE!

I always feel people get the best of both 'worlds' with her stories... sort of like a non-fiction encouragement/teaching book along with a great fiction novel.<br />When I saw your names Carrie, I had to go back and look twice! That was a great surprise. As with the others, I had no idea you knew already lol!<br /><br />Many, many books I've been eagerly waiting for, seem like Christmas presents... But the first one that came to mind was Marcia Gruver's 'Hunter's Prize' as I'd been sooo eagerly awaiting that one and then was blessed to get it as a birthday gift from Marcia... so in a way it really was a gift! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368483978360906629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-34404373149290291262012-12-06T22:06:41.830-05:002012-12-06T22:06:41.830-05:00I am so sorry that I didn't answer the questio...I am so sorry that I didn't answer the question Carrie !! The book that I read that was a gift ?? Little Women !!
