Wednesday Sponsor Giveaways: Studio Calico, Shabby Straps, Simplify 101, & Songbird Ave

I SO want the camera strap - c'est tres belle! If you are homeschooling and have a classical education bent of mind then you will most likely love Susan Wise Bauer's The Well Trained Mind. It is a quintessential guide to how to plan and execute homeschooling your child. I look at it almost every week or two it is that essential. After you get the hang of it you see how good a writer she is and how encouraging it is to have an excellent guide. Thanks for the opportunity to win a camera strap!

A Prayer for Owwen Meany by John Irving. A great read by a great writer.

Anything by Ted Dekker. He writes Christian suspense fiction and it's awesome.

It is hard to select a favortie - I love to read. Water for Elephants and The Doctors Wife are at the top of the list.

The Heretic's Daugther.
It really is so intricate and gripping. And explores the depth of family relationships.

Given your recent addition, I would highly recommend one of the current favorites at our house "Pinkalicious". The follow-up is Purplicious (not quite as good as the first).

The Heretic's Daugther.
It is intimate and gripping and explores the depth of family relationships.

Hard to choose, but I recently laughed hard at the light and entertaining read "I was a good Mom until I had kids".

My favorite book ever, is Life of Pi.
If you haven't yet read it, you MUST.
It's an incredible read that left me in awe.
I think I may just read it again... smile.
Awesome products Ali.
Hope you and the babe and family are well.

I love to read, so I have bunches of favorites, but on my all time list are: The Mitford series by Jan Karon, the Elm Creek Quilters Series by Jennifer Chiaverini, The Shack and anything by Karen Kingsbury or Francine Rivers.

My favorite book this year was sent to me by a friend and it was so ridiculously appropriate to what I've been going through this year I couldn't believe it. The book was Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Two other all time favs are The Alchemist and Reading Lolita in Tehran.

The Zookeeper's wife is a great book that you will not be able to put down. It is based on a true story of a polish husband and wife who saved over 300 people's lives during world war II. It is an amazing story but also has a lot of history that you may not have known before. Go get it!!

My favourite *series* is the Stephanie Plum ones. They are easy reads and so so funny. Something I needed last summer.

I loved reading Dear John, by Nicholas Sparks. ..read it in one night!

I have had so much fun getting back into reading lately. Loving the author Katie Fforde. Also just finished Confessions of a Shopaholic! Loved it!

My favorite book of the last year is Geraldine Brook's People of the Book. I have a lot of favorites, and this is near the top of the all-time list. I don't know if I could choose just one. But for the last year, this is at the tops.

right now I am reading another Dean Koontz book - sometimes I just need this scary story telling stuff, "one Door Away from Heaven"

Favorite book: The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. A must read, and good one to pick up a couple times a year.

I'm an avid reader, but my all time favorite book is still one from my childhood. 'A Wrinkle in Time' will forever hold the top spot for me. It holds some wonderful memories and has gotten me through many a rough patch.
