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

I am total dog lover and I just finished "Walking in Circles Before Laying Down" and let me tell you...so funny and uplifting! Who doesn't like the idea of your dog talking to you...well telling you the things you don't really see.

My favorite (or one of them) is Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel.

My favorites that come to mind quickly are: To Kill A Mockingbird (my ALL time favorite movie, Water for Elephants, The Brooklyn Follies, Cold Sassy Tree.
Currently I am reading The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, a non-fiction book about a Hmong child and her American Doctors.
Wow, another week of great giveaways!

Favorite book for grown-ups...Founding Mothers:Women Who Raised Our Nation/by Cokie Roberts. So inspired by these women and their sacrifices.
Favorite book for little ones...A Color Of His Own/by Leo Lionni---a story of inner-peace and self-acceptance.

An all time favorite book for me is "The Phantom Tollbooth". It is technically a children's book, but I dare you to not have a blast while reading it! :)

I'm reading "Eat, Pray, Love". But one of my favorite books of all times is "The Picture of Dorian Gray", by Oscar Wilde.

no questions asked... "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. I remember sitting in the library listening to his cassette tapes and just being so mesmerized. I could actually see Hector and all his collections and the beard grow to his toes. Such a great memory. If you do not own it...it is a purchase must!

Oh this is an easy one - for adult books...any Danielle Steele one - love love love them! For kids ... The Monster At The End of the Book ... a Sesame Street golden book.
thanks for the fun opportunity!

Well, i am not much of a reader, so the only books I have read lately are cat in the hat and green eggs and ham! My little 2 year old loves those!!!! Thanks for the chance to win those AMAZING prizes!!!!!

My latest favorite book is "The Christmas Sweater" by Glenn Beck. It really helps to put things into perspective and remember those things that really matter in this life.

Ali-
I have a great book for Mom's to share with their little ones. It is called "Let Me Hold You Longer" by Karen Kingsbury. It is such a sweet picture book about the bond between an mother and her child as the child grows and matures. The first time I tried to read it to my kids, I am sure they thought I had lost my mind because I couldn't stop crying. Not usually what happens during story time! She also has another great one called "Let's Go On A Mommy Date." Check them out.

It is soooo hard for me to pick just one favorite but I will try. Actually, one I have read many times, and it is a classic, is Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises."

I really liked "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers.

It takes me so long to read these days, but I did just finish reading _Everything is Illuminated_ by Jonathan Safran Foer. So funny and great story.

I just finished reading My Friend Leonard by James Frey, it was a sequel to the book "a million little pieces" that got all that hype on Oprah a couple of years ago. Great books, they give an indepth truthful look into an addicts mind, and the struggles they have to go through to get clean....very inspirational.

I am definitely a fan of the Twilight series. That is probably my current favorite.

A good book I am reading is a Christian book. The name of it is "Commanding Your Morning" by Cindy Trimm. I plan to read it again once I finally finish.

One of my favorite all time reads was Jemima J by Jane Green.

i have heard "the Shack" recommended by so many people - want to try that next

For just fun I like the Shopaholic Series. I just finished a book by Adam Shepard called Scratch Beginnings: , $25 and the American Dream. I also like 7 Habits for Highly Effective People.
