Hi!

I won a copy of Christmas on 4th Street from Harlequin Holiday Giveaway.  I already have this so what should I do with this copy once I get it?

Here is the description of the book from Goodreads:

There's nowhere better to spend the holidays than with New York Timesbestselling author Susan Mallery in the town of Fool's Gold, where love is always waiting to be unwrapped... Noelle Perkins just got a second chance at life, and she intends to make the most of every minute. That's why she ditched a frustrating legal career to open her own store in Fool's Gold, California. The Christmas Attic celebrates everything that's magical about her favorite season. Business is booming, and as a bonus, gorgeous army doctor Gabriel Boylan has offered to help out during the holiday rush. 

Gabriel's memories of Christmas past contain more sour grapes than sugar plums, thanks to a drill sergeant father who ran his home like a boot camp. Spending the holidays with his family while he recuperates from injury sounds as appetizing as last year's eggnog. Still, there are some enjoyable distractions in town, including sunny, sexy Noelle...and the red-hot mistletoe kisses they can't stop sharing. 

Gabriel didn't think he was made for happily-ever-afters. But when fate hands you a love as sweet and surprising as this, only a fool could refuse...

Comment below if you think I should have another Giveaway!!  It is a really great book.

Hi!

I am still working on several blog posts.  Ever have that feeling of drowning?  That is what I have been having lately.  The kids' new school schedules is taking us longer to get used to.  3 new schools this year.  Well, actually 2.  Earlier to get up for all of us.  More homework than normal, too.  Lots of changes.

I wanted to share a great giveaway at My Book Addiction and More.  Check HERE to enter for the Susan Mallery Fool's Gold Cookbook.  I love love this cookbook.  I have made about 4 or maybe 6 recipes from the cookbook.  I still need to download the photos so I can finish my blog post.  There is a great story in this cookbook, too.

Happy Monday!  What are you all reading?

I have a blog post to do for Susan Mallery's Cookbook.  I love love this cookbook!!!  If the cookbook was on the bed with me, I would type the recipes I made at my Cookbook Party, but it is on my desk and I am so exhausted.  I am drinking one of the smoothies, triple berry!  YUMMY!!  Smoothies are big in our home.  In the summer, I make them a lot.  I have my own recipe, which I will share tomorrow when I talk about the triple berry and the Tropical Smoothie, which I made for my son, Noah, which he loved.  

Happy Reading!!

According to Goodreads, "New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery invites you to taste the local cuisine of her beloved fictional town and share in a year's worth of deliciously seasonal recipes.

Fool's Gold is known as the Land of Happy Endings, but it's also the land of hearty appetites. Throughout the series, the residents of Fool's Gold have found joy, comfort and good times through food. Now two local Fool's Gold chefs will also find love through food! Join them as they flirt, fight and fall in love, one season at a time.
You'll also find favorite recipes from popular characters in the series, such as:
Heidi's Arugula, Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese.

With chapters for summer, spring, fall and winter, you can find the perfect recipe for everything from holiday get-togethers to cozy date nights, always using the freshest ingredients. And the heartwarming love story that is woven throughout is Susan Mallery at her finest.

The more than 150 recipes and dozens of gorgeous photographs in this book will inspire you to find perfection in the simple and the seasonal. And with all of Fool's Gold with you in the kitchen, your every celebration will have a happy ending!"

I hope you have a great day!  I will be looking at the cookbook later to write down which ones we will be making along with the ingredients we need!
