I won a book!

If I had a choice between winning a Tiffany & Co. diamond ring or a year's supply of free books from my favorite publishing house, I'd pick the books, no doubt. If it was a diamond tennis bracelet I just might think about it for a few minutes (I like shiny bracelets) but I'd still end up picking the books anyway. That's how much I value a good read.

Yesterday, God brightened my day when I checked my email and found out I won this month's Kathryn Mackel book give-a-way. I got to choose which book I wanted (I felt like a kid in a candy store) and I happily chose Outriders.

In my slice of the world, books are a girl's bestfriend because diamonds can lose their glitter while well-written words can sparkle for a lifetime.
