Congratulations! You should be getting an email from me very soon and you will have one week to get back with me with your snail mail. :-)

And now I am SO excited. SO happy. Just dancing! Because the book that I have been waiting for ever since I finished A Passion Denied has finally winged it's way to my mailbox!!








And the last one was just for fun, BUT I have a special announcement for this one: Take a picture of you holding the book and mimicing Katie on the front cover. Send your JPG to me at: caseymh18@gmail.com Pictures will be judged by Julie and myself on the best imitation. The winner will be awarded their choice of 2 books I have stashed away for just such an event.

So take your best shot (literally) and send me a photo! This will last until the end of the giveaway for Julie's book on this blog, the 11th.

  4. Those pictures are adorable, Casey! :D And I agree with Karen and Renee: what a creative idea!

    Of course, if I'm going to enter I'll have to wait until after I get the book... But it should be here early this next week! Soon!!! In the meantime, I have a lot of great books to read (and so little time!). :D

    Now I just have to try and finish more homework... ;)

  5. I tried to plan it far enough out so you would have your copy Amber (and anyone else who hasn't gotten it yet). Crossing my fingers for you. (if that even works....;)

  6. I would do it, but I don't have a copy :(

  8. I don't think so :/ I just borrowed A Passion Most Pure from the library. I haven't read any of that series even! lol

  9. What a fun idea, Casey! I started this book today. Love Julie's writing.

  10. @Ariel, you will LOVE APMP; it is my favorite so far. Julie does not disappoint.

    @Cara, I am waiting as long as I can to start mine, make it last longer. ;) Plus I have other books pressing for a review, so that helps... barely. Send a pic if you can, your hair is just perfect, like Katies'. :D So fun to see you here, Cara!

  11. CASEY!!! Talk about CREATIVE!!! I LOVE it!!! And even I may enter ... I just asked my artist hubby if he could take a pic of me with pearls and give me Katie's hairdo. No problem, he says. We shall see ... :)

    Hugs,
    Julie

  12. What a great idea. That is my problem. I have other books pressing for review. But they are great ones, too. Great review lineup: Petra by T.L. Higley, A Memory Between Us by Sarah Sundin, Surrender the Heart by MaryLu Tyndall, Lady in Waiting by Susan Meissner, AND Julie's book. I think I'm excited about every single one!

  13. @Julie, YES be sure and take a pic. That would be fun. :D

    @Julia, I know what you mean, so many great books SO LITTLE TIME! I hope you send a pic!! :)

  14. I am in complete agreement, Julia! I have so many great books to read, and I want to spend a ton of time reading them, but now that I have homework again, a "ton" of time for reading isn't really available. But I make do. ;) It sometimes helps to be a night owl!

  15. Amber, I'm a night owl, too. I love the quiet :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Great idea! I'm definitely gonna participate. :)

  17. Julia,

    Me, too! I seem to have a much easier time of staying up later than getting up earlier. ;) I agree that the quiet and the atmosphere is really nice for reading and blogging!

  18. LOL, I love it when you all come to have a conversation, I feel like I am eavesdropping or something. :)

    @Amber, I know what you mean, sigh. With edits coming up next week I will definately have less reading time. *pout*

    @Julia, I would be a night owl, but for some reason when I lay down in bed (even to read) I want to sleep instead! Hopefully not so tonight, I am starting Julie's book. :)

    @Joy, ohhh, can't wait for your photo!!! :D

    @Amber, ugh, with you there! I hate getting up early. I am the odd ball in my family in that respect, come to think of it, that is just one of many! Sigh.

  21. Thanks Casey! Life is a little tough right now. I left for college on Friday. I'm a freshman, so it's...difficult : S Classes start on Tuesday and upperclassmen move in tomorrow. It's been a crazy, eventful weekend!

    No!!! I don't have a copy yet, lol! I won on Ashley's blog and am SOOOOO psyched!! I can't wait until she sends me the package : ) I'm having it sent here so I actually get a package at school, lol!

    Anyway, yeah this is aweseom! Hopefully you get people's permission to put some of the pics on your blog. I'm sure they'll be AWESOME!!!
    Talk to you soon,
    Hannah

  23. @Hannah, oh, I have ever confidance that you will settle into a groove soon, but I do know that the first day of school, in any event can be difficult. Hang in there!
