October Giveaway: Amazon electronic gift card

Well, I haven't found any cute fall teawares for the October giveaway, so I'm going with an old reliable giveaway item: an Amazon e-gift card for $15!

Here's how you can win: 1) Tell me the name of the last book you read and enjoyed (I'd rather hear about good books than bad ones!) 2) Be sure to include a way for me to get in touch with you if you're the winner.

You may enter the giveaway through 7 a.m. Monday, October 16. Good luck!

  1. The last book I read was Margaret Maron's "Take Out". I'm a huge fan of her books and this one did not disappoint. I've also read and enjoyed a couple of the ones you recommended recently. Next up is Ronda Rich's book about her mother, "Mark My Words". It arrived yesterday and I'll start it this evening after work. Happy reading!

  5. Last night I finished reading "The Whistler" by John Grisham. It wasn't his best. I thought some of the situations were unrealistic, but overall the book was interesting and it was clean.

  6. My sister and I were at Goodwill the other day and they had books 3 for 99 cents. I like to read children's books sometimes so I bought Bachelor Girl by Roger Lea MacBride. It's about Rose Wilder Lane and I love the Little House books.

  15. The most recent book I read was--believe it or not--"Mary Poppins 80th Anniversary Collection." I bought it to keep on hand for when the wee small members of the family come to visit, but I had forgotten all the wonderful descriptive passages about teatime that P.L. Travers describes so well. I remember some from my childhood, but it was much better re-reading it as an adult! (cwhit98@aol.com)

  18. I’ve discovered the author Charles Martin. His book, The Mountain Between Us, is now out as a movie. I’ve read three, the latest one The Interception. All good, I especially like the fact that there is no, or very little, bad language. gischatusfamilydotnet

  19. (clears throat) I hope I win! Hahaha! Ok, so the last book that I read was Nature's Remedies by Jean Willoughby. It is a simply written and illustrated book giving tips on natural herbal concoctions to hear common ailments. The book has 9 main topics of healing ranging from Skin Care to Pain Relief all the way to Mental Clarity and Focus. I loved it! It was a good to and fro airplane read.

  21. Hi Angela,

    I have had some more time to read recently and have enjoyed three books that I would love to recommend.

    The first one is "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane" by Lisa See. I think you will find it intriguing and will enjoy the tea related plot.

    I think that I told you one time that I read cookbooks like other people read novels. This book was on the shelf at my Library Book Sale.
    "Salmugundi: A Celebration of Salads from Around the World" by Sally Butcher features 150 salad recipes and beautiful photography. I recommend the Pub Ploughman's Salad with Chips on page 158. I love that she comments on each of the recipes and tells a little story about each one.

    The third is "The Romance of Tea" by William H. Ukers and annotated by James Norwood Pratt. First published in 1936, this version will inform and entertain any tea lover.

    Happy reading, Angela, and thanks for the chance to win.

  23. One that I read not too long ago and enjoyed was Woolly by Ben Mezrich. It's about research with the goal of bringing back the woolly mammoth - I don't think they've achieved it yet, but it was interesting to read about what they had tried and why.

  27. Reading The Glass Castle via e-book. Not sure what I think - hard to read about children being neglected.

  30. Hi Angela, the last book I read was Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz. It is a whodonit in a whodonit. You would like that it is about a writer and an editor! Horowitz did the TV shows Midsomer Murders and Foyle's War. I have enjoyed all his books. Thank you for the chance to win!

  32. I love the book At The Scent of Water by Linda Nichols. I've read it many times because it's like visiting an old friend. Set here in the mountains of NC, it's a wonderful story that I think you would enjoy! (I'm making a reading list from all the suggestions from the other entries!) silverstone4@frontier.com
    Thanks!
