DeleteLove the cover.
ReplyDeleteANNE AND CARRIE!!!
ReplyDeleteCannot WAIT to read Carrie's new book, and the cover is soooooo cute!! And I'm with Heidi -- LOVE stories with a lumberjack theme. To me, lumberjack heroes are the historical version of today's firemen -- very hunky!! ;)
Don't enter me, Anne -- I'm one of the lucky ones who gets a copy ahead of time ... I hope!! ;)
Hugs,
Julie
Sweet Julie, how delightful to see you here! I missed this last week!! Firemen, Julie? No, I have to disagree but I can see some similarities. Oh, wait, you are doing something on a "hunkiness" Julie scale, so now I get it. If we did hunks on the Carrie scale I'd be using an engineer lol! Yes, ma'am, you will get a copy and God bless you for your willingness to read the book for endorsement. You've been so good to me!
DeleteHello Anne. Great way to show all of Carrie's books for this release. Wish I could learn to do things but do good to just get on here. Her books are really good.
