In which I give you something.

I am having a giveaway for this book!

I read this last week and absolutely loved it. :-) Read my review about it at my other blog  here.

This summer I have been reading a lot because I have a huge book list! And I'd love to know some good books that you have been influenced by.

SO. There are four ways to enter:

1. Posting about it on your blog. (you can grab this photo to add to it)

2. Following my blog.

3. Putting my blog button on your blog (it's on my sidebar).

4. Answering this question: 

What are some great books that you have been influenced by?

You can enter four times--just leave an individual comment for each entry.

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed! Stay tuned for more giveaways to come. :-)

Giveaway: New Creation Women's Apparel

New Creation Apparel is a great site for modest clothing. While their site is not as fancy as some, their clothing is actually modest, without being frumpy. They have a good selection of skirts, which are cute and long. And their prices are great--many of the skirts are about $17.

If you enter the giveaway, you might win a free skirt! To participate, just go to Life in a Shoe and comment!
