5 Minutes For Mom is having the "Ultimate Blog Party" March 7 - 14! It is a lot of fun, and it is addicting! Don't visit unless you have lots of time to enter tons of FABULOUS prizes! And time to read lots of great Blogs!
Be sure to visit Teen Lit Review and enter to win the drawing for two teen books.
I am giving away an AWESOME book - Truffles by the Sea - by Julie Carobini.This is Julie's second book and it is even better than the first one! This is a PASS IT ON book - meaning it has been previously read - by the sea! Determined to turn her life around, Gaby Flores moves to a beachfront loft, takes on a new motto, "Be gullible no more, " and begins to rebuild her flower store while searching for Mr. So Right. But when a lawsuit, an eviction notice, a near-empty bank account, and quirky neighbors invade her beachy world, not even chocolate can solve her worries as her fledgling faith is put to the test.
All the characters were very likable, I loved the relationships, I just did not want to put it down until I was done. Then, when I was done, I wanted another book by Julie to read immediately! So, leave a comment and email address to win! Good luck, and when you're done reading, because books are too precious to only be read once, PASS IT ON!
My Name is Angi. I came out of anomyous blogging in January. The reason I "came out" was so I could tell my friends about a new blog endeavor - Teen Lit Review. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children who works outside the house (sigh!). I am best friend to my best friend - my Hard Working Husband (HWH). My children go to public school (another sigh!). But through all the sighs - I feel like we honor God, give all glory to Jesus, and love each other abundantly!
(last week my sighs were gasps - did I mention that I'm emotional and moody?)
I hope you have time to look around my blog, check out Teen Lit Review, and enter my giveaway! Thanks for stopping by!
PS - I would love to win a Free T-Shirt from Georgie Tees!
I really want to win the free bag from Hip Mama's Place! Check it out! Gorgeous!
This sign is adorable - Lolly Jane Boutique personalizes it! Check it out!

Very cool giveaway! I love book exchanges. :)
I hope you'll come visit my party and enter my contest.
I love the book exchange, great Idea.
Happy partying-
Have a wonderful day
Have fun blog party hopping!
What a cool give a way. I would love to get your book. It'll be hard to give away though. I tend to keep all my books. But I would love to read it and then pass it on. It'll be kind of a stepping out kind of thing for me.
I was intrigued by your thoughts and would love to come back and visit. Putting you on my favs.
Come by my blog and visit me during the party.
Tomorrow I am grilling after church. Come on over!
That book sounds great - I love your blog, your post for Valentines day is very sweet, I will be back to see you again. Hope you have a great blog party!!
Just stopping in while making the rounds of the blog party. I would love to check out this book and would be pleased to pass it on when I'm done. I checked out a few of your movie reviews and I have to say that I loved the Bourne Ultimatum also. I bookmarked your site and am getting ready to head over to Teen Lit Review on your recommendation :)
Hi There,
I found you through the blog party and I am so glad I did. I have a few teens and preteens in my life so I will definitely be checking out the teen lit blog! What an awesome resource! I would love to win the book but if I don't, maybe it will be passed on to me later.
Have a good one,
Kelley
I have been reading some of this author's interviews and the reviews of her book. It sounds like a really great book to read. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

Oh I'm in for this drawing, thanks girl!
If you heard a gasp, it'd only be because I probably spilled something on my keyboard or something! I do believe you're right on, fellow blogger, you honor God and there's no way you can go wrong! Happy Party!
I love reading about authors and books, I haven't heard about. I will add this book to my library list.

Happy blog party!
"not even chocolate can solve her worries" - too cute. That sounds like a neat book. Chocolate does pretty good at solving some of my worries. ;) Hubby brought home a Godiva Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bar Thursday night and it MADE MY DAY. ;)
He's my best friend, too (MY husband, of course - not yours!). :)
That book is just amazing!!
Party on!

Nice to meet another working (outside the home) mom of 3. It gets a bit lonely out here. I would love to read a book written by Julie. (I'll just cover up the last name and pretend I wrote it! :) )
I would love to read this book. Come see my blog: www.lauren-n-shaw.blogspot.com. My email is volleygirl@juno.com.
Just stopping by to party! I understand about sighs and gasps and things like that :)
I love to read any book so I'm always up for a contest with a book as the prize! If I would happen to win you can leave a comment on my blog and then I'll give you my email address.
Sounds like a good book to read by the beach with one of those cocktails that has an umbrella in it.
I'm international, so probably don't qualify for your draw - but hey, finding your blog is the ultimate prize!! See you around!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you're enjoying the party too! (looks like you've got lots of guests! ;) )
Angie, I'm so sorry it took me two days to get here after you stopped by my party!! It's been a hectic few days around my house.
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN/READ THE BOOK!! And of course since I also have a book review blog it would be perfect to pass it on from there ;) Hmm...maybe I'll have a look around my house to see what I could pass along now!
You've certainly have/had a lot of guest to your party, I'm off to mingle while I've got a few minutes!!
By the way...I'm saving you to my faves to come back and read more again!
Hi, please add me to your drawing... would love to read that book! I'm glad I joined your party...happy partying around the blogosphere, and hope you have time to drop my mine (I'm hosting a magazine giveaway!).
Throw my name in the hat, please!

I've never read one of her books, but, the way you describe it and rave about it, I think I'd like to try it! :)
I like your review of Horton. I didn't realize that there was a new Horton movie, so maybe we'll check it out.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! Happy Blog Party!
