Congratulations guys. Come back and check often. Remember that as long as the book listed in ♥ available books, it’s still available for winning. I have given up hope on having a regular drawing. I’m just going to draw as time permits me and list books as time allows. I got to run, running late for carpool again.

I am very excited about tomorrow’s Buns and Roses Romance Tea for Literacy. It’s going to be from 2-5 and Sherrilyn Kenyon is going to be there! Who reads her? I totally fell for Acheron, her latest book and main hunk! I want to get me some Acheron! Read an excerpt here.

Okay, sorry to get carried away. I just can’t wait to see Ms. Kenyon again. I’m taking my 11-year old daughter with me. I had to missed a good friend’s birthday party for this. Seriously!

We have a winner for this book: Learning to Breath by Karen White!

We took out daughter out for dinner because she had reach another landmark into adulthood. We’re so proud of her and what she has accomplished already. We went to Cheesecake Factory, where I overeat as usual. Why do they have plates the size of a laundry basin from the Philippines?

That’s me in a more flattering silhoutte. When I’m a little slim again, I’ll post the other picture which is not so flattering.

Now, on to the free book….because after all, this is This Book For Free. Unless you expressly said you don’t want to be included in the drawing, you have a chance to win one of the two books posted below. One manly book (ahem, action and mayhem) and one womanly book (romance and all that stuff, signed copy from my San Francisco trip).

Learning to Breathe
by Karen White
Paperback
Published in 2007
ISBN-10: 0-451-22034-X

This is one of the dozens of books I bought for my faithful readers. I still haven’t taken a picture of the whole lot…but they look good. Really good. This book is signed by Karen White. I’m also going to see if I can get some answers to the questions we have on another post.

Brenna O’Brien doesn’t believe in happy endings. Not since the love of her life, Pierce McGovern, left her years ago without a word. Now, she leads a quiet life surrounded by her four matchmaking sisters, running a historic movie theater and collecting old wartime letters. But she leaves the letters unopened, preferring to imagine their possibilities rather than risk being disappointed.

Then Pierce comes back to town, shattering Brenna’s hard-earned peace-and forcing her to re-examine everything, and realize that if she doesn’t come to terms with the life she let slip away, she may never have the courage to go after the life she wants.
