Welcome to week 4 of —> Happy Book Day to You ~ the Series
Do you remember in December I held a Happy Book Day Giveaway on my birthday? Well I enjoyed it so much (because books are my favorite thing), I thought I’d make it a weekly occurrence. For the next several weeks you can count on a ‘Happy Book Day to You ~ the Series’ giveaway every Tuesday.
Marshmallows for Breakfast (by Dorothy Koomson)
I love British chick-lit and Dorothy Koomson didn’t disappoint. This is a book about hope, redemption and finding love in unexpected places. You can click on the authors (above) name to go to her blog OR you can click HERE to a short blurb about the book. This one made me cry.
Some simple rules and things to remember:
1. This book is second hand. I’ve read it, I liked it and I am giving it to you. It may possibly have coffee rings or warped pages from sitting on my night stand. Call me cheap, or call me environmentally friendly, I’m not bothered either way.
2. Consider passing it forward when you are done, you could even have a giveaway! Remember, what goes around comes around.
3. You must come back here to see if you are the winner. I won’t track you down, if you wait to long … I might lend it to a friend or a neighbor and then YOU are out of luck. You need to email me with your address, once I receive it I will pop it in the mail to you at my convenience.
4. To be eligible to win, you need to leave a comment on this post. I’ll pick a winner sometime on Thursday, February 19th, 2009.
5. Tell a friend—> this isn’t really a rule, but it would be really nice. wink
What book do you have on the go right now? Would you recommend it?

I too am a sucker for British literature, it is like a chick flick movie but better!!

Erin’s last blog post..First Sleepover…
I love chick lit, too. Have you seen Confessions of a Shopaholic? I loved that series, and I can’t wait to see it (though will wait for DVD to come out, eventually).

Ooooh double bonus! I get to tell you that you’ve been tagged. http://www.mundanedetails.com/?p=1401
AND I get a chance for a book! I JUST started reading Team of Rivals, as in, I’m on page 3. =)
Ohh…I want to read this one. As for books I’m reading right now: Stolen Lives, 20 years in prison by Malika Oufkir. Very interesting. I liked it.
Safire’s last blog post..Can’t Talk
I am not reading anything right now….I haven’t read in years, and I am embarassed to admit it. I keep saying I am going to start back and just haven’t. When my head hits the pillow at night, I am so gone…..but would like to give this a shot!!! thanks.
Oh yeah. Me too. Want gum was priceless. I was sitting at my desk here at work, laughing so hard. I am sure the people on the other side of my window thought I was nuts……great fun…..p
I haven’t had the chance to read in the past week or two…which could be why I feel like I’m going a tad batty. Hmmmmm…the extent of my reading of late has involved Dr. Seuss and food labels. How pitiful is that?
Madeline’s last blog post..I Think Someone Hit The Fast Forward Button
Oh, I love tear-jerking books…the non-fiction I’ve been reading lately has been a wee bit dry…
deb’s last blog post..etsy finds
I’m not reading it right now but Sophie’s Heart is an excellent read. A tear jerking romance but a great read, enough that my copy is coming apart at the binding from love.
I love your Happy book day idea!
Ashley’s last blog post..Burning Questions
I have to admit that i haven’t read anything in years. i dont really have time with kids, work, gardening to do.
bob fast’s last blog post..Sell your Flat fast with Fast Flat Sale
Okay, I have to admit I have never read ANY sort of chick-lit. Not because I don’t want to (cause I know I would enjoy them–especially after reading another commentor say they are better than British chick movies–which I am VERY fond of) but because I am devout series reader and I need help! So, if I win, I will finally break free from my series.
I just finished (listening to on CD) not reading Fireproof, can’t wait to see the movie. I sure could use another book to read.
I am so glad you brought this book giveaway back. Love British movies and books.

Coffee rings and all. :)
Grog’s last blog post..Yes…A Nation Of Cowards!
Wow it’s the last day of this giveaway, so I suppose I am too late, but thats okay :)
I haven’t read anything from Dorothy Koomson, but it does sound like a good read, whoever wins this, will surely be happy! :)
Joey Logano’s last blog post..Sliced Bread Heads To The Left Coast
I would like to try reading more British books. Thanks for the chance!
All I know about British humor is Monty Python! Cindi
enter my name as well
thank you
anastasia’s last blog post..Ipod Giveaway
Just finished up Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. It was interesting but I wasn’t enjoying all of the court room scenes. I don’t really like court room anythings so maybe it wasn’t the best book to read, half the book involved the court case.
lace’s last blog post..“Only Hearts Club” at Simple
oh gosh…i don’t think the book i’m reading is very cheery! it is “empty arms” a book about miscarriage and stillbirths…nothing like a little light reading! right?!!!
hey thursday is not over so if you didn’t pick yet maybe I could win :)
Noreen’s last blog post..Ballet Class
