Books: The Cheapest Vacation You Can Buy











{December 31, 2012}   Favorite Books Read in 2012 (and a Giveaway)

Happy New Year!  I decided that, to end 2012, I wanted to do a small giveaway featuring my favorite reads from 2012.  I read 280 books this past year, and 63 of them received five star ratings from me because I found them to be just that fabulous.  Some of them, I know you’ve heard of prior to now.  But some of them, you haven’t, and I wish to remedy that through this giveaway.

The list of books up for grabs is below, and on February 5th, I will select TWO winners.  Please make sure you know whether or not the Book Depository sends to your country if you choose a hardcopy title.  If you choose an eBook copy, please make sure you have either a Kindle of Nook device of some sort.
