Our hop, Book Musing Mondays, is born out of a desire to promote family-friendly books and literacy activities. To kick of this great new hop, we are also having a giveaway! Your hosts have partnered with other book review bloggers to bring you this great givewaway!

Mary at Mary-andering Creatively is giving away two books:

This small  book, 365 Pocket Prayers for Mother by Christian authors and mothers, Amie Carlson, Karen Hodge, and Erin Kelley Marshall, is packed with quick prayers tied into the Word of God that you can meditate on and let sink into your soul.  Tyndale House Publishers provided me with a copy of this book which I will mail to the winner. 🙂

You see more in my review of this book here.

A Donkeys Tale Win

This beautiful book by author R. Mitchell Scott was published by Ambassador International. The publisher provided me with a copy and will be sending a copy to our winner. You can read my review here!

Ashley at Circling the Story  is giving away this wonderful cookbook:

This heart-warming story is being made into Hallmark Movie!

Plot Summary:  Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Read more about this book at Debbie Macomber’s site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CaroleProfileAlso joining us is Carole from the Power of Words. You can follow Carole on Pinterest, Twitter,  and Facebook. She will be giving away the book which she reviewed on her blog here :

Summary:

An empty nest has Ingrid Christiansen dreading the upcoming holidays, but her husband, John, couldn’t be more excited about this new season of life. He even has a surprise trip abroad  planned. He’s sure she’ll love it. What’s more romantic than Christmas in Paris?

Before he can stop her, however, Ingrid agrees to spearhead a major church project. Then their faithful dog, Butterscotch, needs emergency surgery, draining their savings. And then—because  disasters strike in threes—an unexpected guest arrives, dredging up old hurts.

As a beautiful blanket of snow transforms the north woods into a winter wonderland, a deep chill settles over John and Ingrid’s marriage. With the holidays fast approaching, their only hope of keeping their love evergreen depends on turning the page on the past and embracing a new chapter of their future.

 


 

We will have one winner who will receive a convoy of mail with each of these books. Each blogger will either send the books to the winner or have the publishers send them to him or her!  Just imagine, if you are the winner, you will have five separate gift packages of these books arriving almost daily in your mail box. It will be a Christmas bonanza of fun books for you and your family to enjoy.

To participate in the giveaway complete the entry form below. You have until December 14 to complete the entries. This contest is open to U.S. residents only. 

Good Luck!

      It looks to me like many of the books you are reading are family friendly. I wanted this hop to feature quality literature of all genres.
