Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop

Kathy at I am a reader, not a writer has done it again.  She has created a way for us to have a great time hunting for new books, and hopefully win a few.

I love this time of the year. I love the excitement of a child and the ripping of paper as presents are open.  I love to give the presents to those I care about.  I am excited to meet new people and  this hop gives me an opportunity.

Once again I am choosing books to give away that have some meaning to me.

My first option is my FAVORITE Christmas book.  It is "The Littlest Angel" by Charles Tazewell, it will be accompanied by a new release.  It is a short Christmas story written by one of my friends, Rachelle Pace Castor, "The Christmas Apron".  Rachelle has signed the copy that I am giving away.  I am adding a story on CD that I received from the author.  It is "Chris Mouse and the Promise" by Tina J. Lackey Adams.

The classic Christmas story tells of an adorable little angel who just cannot stay out of trouble in the celestial city. When the Christ child is born, the mischievous angel learns the timeless lesson of giving, a lesson that has long endured as the true spirit of Christmas

Chris Mouse has just tucked her three little ones into bed when she notices the most beautiful bright shining star in the heavens.  As she dreamily admires the star she remembers a prophecy she's heard stories about since her youth. A magnificent star would mark the birth of the Savior.  Could this be the promise she had waited her entire life to see?  What happens next will change the world forever.  Life for Chris Mouse will never be the same.

My second option is "Christmas Rose" by Robyn Buttars" and another copy of "The Christmas Apron" also signed by Rachelle.

There's something amazing happening at Pleasant Manor-a care center at the very edge of town. Using the wondrous power of love, a little girl named Rose is creating miracles in the lives of its residents. One by one, she touches the hearts of her new friends - Cleston, Helen, Jake, Fred, and Ina - with the light of hope.

Most important to Rosie, though, is Bessie.
Rosie and Bessie become inseparable best friends. Day by day Bessie teaches Rosie invaluable life lessons, including "Home is a place where you are surrounded by love." Just before Christmas, when the woman who had taught her so much about living speaks of dying, Rosie learns what true love, beauty, and friendship really mean. Her understanding is an invaluable gift for all.
