100th Post Give-Away!!! (Addiction Issues Revisited)

***Picture added with the STUFF from my Virginia Trip***

Today is my 105th post if you WANT to be exact...{YIPEE!!!} and I have a Give-Away to announce!

Keep reading if you like free gifts with no strings attached...I'm serious! You don't have to sign over your first-born child {You can if they are cute, though!}, or even praise me on your blog or take my blinking thing on the side { you can do that though, I won't mind!}-this is a totally free gift!

I am not being entirely truthful. Sorry. There are some strings attached to this -almost totally free- gift...I am actually trying to encourage you to join me in my addictions...

I am taking about reading books NOT illegal substances! Please! I need all the brain cells I currently have to keep up with all the boys in this house!

If you have read my blog, then you know I adore reading. You have seen me write this before-I can (and will) read a good book and finish it in the wee hours of that same night. This addiction has definitely contributed to my lack of sleep, because I would rather read than sleep/do laundry/pay bills/ do dishes any old day!

{I had planned another set of books to give away, but they are steamy beach reads that you MUST devour in the summer. I am holding off on those for my "I Am Leaving For My Cottage For The Summer Give-Away." Yes. I am already planning another give-away for June...So even if you hate my blog, you might want to check back in June for another (almost free) give-away...}

So...

I am really dragging this out, aren't I?

Here are the details about the Give-Away:

You must leave a comment telling me what is your favorite book, author and why to be entered in this give-away. (I really just need some new reading material!)

You must leave the comment before midnight on Saturday, February 21th. I would appreciate it if you mention the give-away on your blog, but that is not a requirement. I will announce the winner by Sunday, February 22nd. (Or Monday if I am tied up reading...)

You can enter even if you don't have a blog, but you need to leave an e-mail address.

Only ONE entry per person. Overseas entries are perfectly acceptable-Kylie and Naomi!

Now if you do what I said, you just might be the winner of....an addiction!!!

What you really will win is this:
This book is by one of my all-time favorite authors, and this book is credited with strengthening my faith. (It is not a 'self-help' book! It is a fiction book that I could not put down until I read every last word in the book!) Then I sat there on my couch with tears running down my face for the longest time because I was so profoundly moved by this book. I can't say too much more, just that I know you will love it.
I am also giving away a soy candle that was made here in my home state, and (...to keep you awake while you read...) a container of English Toffee Cappuchino made by my favorite coffee people-Tim Horton's. (Yes, Lisa-I know you read this!~Relatives MAY enter this free give-away! Even if it is just for the cappuchino...), and my very favorite stuff-limited edition Cranberry Bubble Bath from the Body Shop... and a little something I picked up in Virginia on my road trip-not sure what it is, because I am driving home as you read this! *(I am home and brought with me: Cool notecards, and a beautiful tea towel both from a little shop called Three French Hens in Woodstock, Virginia.)

Thank YOU for reading and commenting on my blog-I have enjoyed getting all the swirling thoughts that have been in my head out and into the computer. I love reading your blogs as well-There are so many of you that I consider friends now too- Beth, Sandy Toes, Naomi, Tricia Anne, Lindsay Ann, Annikke, Kristin, Quiche Me, April,(Buzzing of a) Queen Bee, SpyMommy-you all have enriched my life so much!

(...hoping you will share my READING/coffee/bubble bath/candle addictions soon!)
