I love to read and would read them and then pass them on to friends.

I think I would divide the reading time for these books between myself and my lovely roommate. Our apartment has a really cool nook by a window, a stockpile of tea, and several of our mother’s crocheted blankets!

I’d love to read this stack because I would never have heard of these books without this blog and I think I will learn a ton.
I maintain a large social network of women- in person and online. (But we are local so we see each other often). And of course, we all borrow books from each other. I lent out 4 books just today. We share.

I would love to win because I love curling up with a blanket and a book during the cold weather months! I’d share them with my bestie…but only after I’ve read them myself!
Thanks!

These books would be company for me. I have been very sick and confined and although I am much better, I cannot get out so often. When I go to the hospital for the appointments, they have a wall of books and you can take what you want. The books are all donations and I would share these books with the hospital.
Posted by: Charlotte Padgett on October 5, 2012 at 12:09 pm
I would love to win these, read them myself, then pass them to my daughter who would pass them on when she is done with them, too.
