How does it work?

Easy peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions

    1. Sounds like our typical winter weather here on the Oregon coast, Diane! I don't like when it rains for days on end 😐

      Today through tomorrow (Sat-Sun) we have high winds (up to 65mph gusts) with lots of rain. Ugh! But I will take it over snow any day 😊

    2. Trixi, if it's going to be this cold & dreary, I'd rather have a couple days of snow & sunshine, but no more than a couple of snow days. But since we seldom see snow in SC, I'd just settle for some sunshine right about now! 😁
