52 Books in 52 Weeks

2013 Blog ButtonI am going out on a bit of a limb this year and joining up with the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge. Last year I was able to read 42+ books. So I am thinking maybe I could squeeze in 10 more this year. And I am not sure I counted every one that I read last year. I was blog hopping over on Marsha's Spot, where I found a link to the Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks. So I hopped on over to look at it, and was inspired to join the challenge for the year. Basically, you read one book a week, and review it. I guess you can link up your reviews. I am not sure how well I will keep up, but it sounds like fun!

I have never made a specific book goal before as far as I can remember so this should be interesting. I am hoping it will not feel stressful.  I am almost done with my first book for the year and we are on week 1, so I am off to a good start.

Do you have a book goal for 2013?  I would love to hear how many you plan to read.

Night Night Farm by Amy Parker w/ Giveaway - Ended

Congratulations to our Winner - Lynne In  Night Night , Farm by Amy Parker, parents and little ones will unwind as sweet farm animals in pj's say goodnight to their farm, their mommies and daddies, and to God. Rhyming verse, calming artwork, and whimsical renditions of favorite farm animals in their cozy beds will make this bedtime book a favorite for years to come. My Thoughts: This book is so adorable. I am already loving that one day I will be able to use it with my grandchildren. It is a hard back padded type cover.

Interview with Author Lori Benton and GIVEAWAY

Today I want to welcome Lori Benton to the blog. She is the author of two books Burning Sky and her most recent novel  The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn .  Lori Benton was born and raised east of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by early American and family history going back to the 1600s. Her novels transport readers to the 18th century, where she brings to life the Colonial and early Federal periods of American history, creating a melting pot of characters drawn from both sides of a turbulent and shifting frontier, brought together in the bonds of God's transforming grace. When she isn’t writing, reading, or researching 18th century history, Lori enjoys exploring the mountains with her husband – often scouring the brush for huckleberries, which overflow the freezer and find their way into her signature huckleberry lemon pound cake. Now, let's see what Lori has to say:  ( Lori's answers are in green )
