Book Giveaway: Take Two!

***Update*** The previous winner of this book has finished reading it and wants to go ahead and send it to another lucky winner. How fun! So, if you want to add your name to the comments, I'll pick another random number and Joy, the previous winner, will mail you the book. Comment away!

Well folks, this is one review you do not want to skim over, especially because there is an opportunity to receive a free copy of this book at the end of my post.

I just finished A Billion Reasons Why by Kristin Billerbeck -- I actually just finished it an hour ago, and I couldn't wait to share the review because I just wholeheartedly LOVED the book. I think I read it within a 2-day-period part of which was spent staying up way too late.

I've mentioned before how I feel about Christian fiction. I just can't accept Christians producing subpar work. If you are going to do it, do it well, or don't do it all.

And Billerbeck did just that. A Billion Reasons Why" is FAR from subpar. It is truly one of the best love stories I have read it quite some time -- all sprinkled with the type of quality that would not only encourage me let a girl of any teen age read it, but would encourage me to thrust at it her wholeheartedly and say, "YOU GOT TO READ THIS!"

Kate McKenna has found the man of her dreams? Or has she? Is she marrying the right man for the wrong reasons? Or are there are a billion reasons that he is right after all? She has everything she has ever wanted in life. Or does she?

Now, here's where you have an opportunity to WIN! I am going to send my copy of this book to one lucky reader. All you have to do is put your first name and email address in the comments. At the end of one week's time, I will see how many comments there are and pick a random number. That person will win a copy of the book. I'll mail it to you (media mail of course!) free of charge. (And don't worry, I won't peek at the comments until I choose a number. I promise.)

Please only comment if you would enjoy reading this book or have someone you know who would enjoy reading it. If it will sit on your shelf, save it for someone else. But I guarantee you, you'll thoroughly enjoy every minute of this great read.

So? What are you waiting for? Comment away!

BookSneeze® has provided you with a complimentary copy of this book or advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest review.

If you recommend it then it must be a winner. I agree that Christian fiction can be a bit pitiful at times.
