Even though we’re busy, there’s still time to do the monthly Pay it forward Book Giveaway, which is hosted by Overwhelmed with Joy.
This month I’d like to give away a light, fun read that you can get through in a couple of days and it won’t add to your stress load. I picked this up at a garage sale this summer, and I must admit it’s a well used copy. But still readable.
Stately Pursuits by Katie Fforde. Fforde. Say that a few times–it’s ffun. Anyway, an amazon review says this about this fun book:
“Hetty has taken a job house-sitting a 600-year-old place named Courtbridge, which proves to be in dire need of renovations and extensive repairs. She agrees to tackle the assignment because, reeling from a rather humiliating romantic break-up, it seems like a good hideaway in which to mend her heart and ponder her future. Unknown to Hetty, the hospitalized owner, Samuel, has sent his rather beefy but handsome nephew Connor to keep an eye on her as well as his crumbling ancestral home. Hetty hatches a scheme to restore the old home to all its former stateliness by opening the mansion and charging for tours, weddings, and other social occasions. However, Connor would prefer to tear the old thing down, sell the property, pay off some old loans, and be done with the architectural dinosaur. Needless to say, these two opinionated and obstinate people discover in spite of their different views a remarkable attraction to each other. A satisfying although somewhat anticipated conclusion bodes well for the house, the couple, and even the cat, Clovis. Library patrons who enjoy the romantic novels of Jayne Ann Krentz and Nora Roberts will find a similar story here but with a delightful British accent.”
I enjoyed it, and I’ll be that one of you would enjoy it, too! Just leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered in the drawing. It’s that simple. Next week on Monday, I’ll draw out a name and then if you are the winner, I’ll send you this book (probably after Christmas). So go ahead and enter!
