Book Stack Giveaway!
Welcome to Happy Housewife Living Life’s very first giveaway!!
I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time, and this carnival is the perfect time to jump in!
I am an avid reader, as is my hubby, so we have tons of books everywhere in our home!!! In thinking about what I could giveaway, I decided to giveaway a book stack! We’re all recycling these days anyway, right?? I’m excited about these books because they touched my life and I’m sure they will touch yours if you win.
Here are the books in the stack:
- Confessions of an Honest Wife by Sarah Zacharias Davis–The author is the daughter of well-known author and speaker Ravi Zacharias. This is an awesome book about marriage. I completely enjoyed all the different topics, issues, perspectives and experiences.
- Dancing Under the Red Star by Karl Tobien–This is a true story about Margaret Werner and how she was the only woman to survive the Siberian death camps in Stalinist Russia. This time period in history is one of my favorites, so I enjoyed and was inspired by this book!
- Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology by Eric Brende–This book is inspiring in a humorous sort of way. The author is a bit extreme in his rebellion against technology. But overall the point of the book is good. Basically he and his wife gave up all technology and are “free.” He is now a rickshaw driver and soap maker! (Disclaimer: My engineer hubby (read: techno gadget dude) thinks this guy is a bit cooky, but I enjoyed it!)
- The Shack : Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity by William P. Young–This has been a pretty popular book in Christian circles lately. I heard about it and saw it on a book rack one day, so I purchased it. The cover of the book says that it is comparable to Pilgrim’s Progress…well, I wouldn’t say that it’s THAT good but it is an inspiring story…and I’m not going to say any more! ha!

I have not yet read any of these. I am currently reading Corsair by Clive Cussler. sharonaquilino(at)hotmail(dot)com
I just finished Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. Such a great book!
These sound like good reads! I feel like I haven’t read a good book in a long time even though I belong to a book club–they keep voting for flighty stories like “shopaholic.” Thanks for the chance to win!
I haven’t read any of these books yet, but I did just read my first Jodi Picoult book, The Pact, and really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed The Survivor’s Club.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Those books look great! I’m an avid book reader and have to limit myself or I would spend all my time reading and get nothing else done. I really enjoy all kinds of books. Lately I’ve been reading a lot of Karen Kingsbury. On a more practical not I’ve been reading Have a new Kid by Friday by Dr. Kevin Leman. So, far it’s really good. Thanks!

I’ve been reading gardening books lately. And I have a couple of photoshop books sitting next to my desk that I still haven’t opened yet. But I will. I think.
I love to read…any book, any time! I heard someone talking about the shack. I’ve been wanting to read it. Other than the bible, my favorite book is: Love comes Softly.
I enjoy reading Newberry award/honor young adult novels. One of my favorites is A Sting in the Harp.
I love reading lots of books. I love reading a good fiction book that takes me away. Elizabeth Berg’s “Dream when you’re feeling blue” is at the top of my favorites right now. But I’ve also been reading a lot of non-fiction about pregnancy and mommying since little Clara came into our life a year ago. So much to learn!
I just finished an ARC of “Also Known As Harper” which was great! I enjoy reading all types of books whenever I get a spare moment:) Thanks!
