Your Novel Romantic Giveaway!!

Want to spice up your Christmas a little?? This idea is totally fantastic. Buy yourself and your spouse/significant other a romance novel where the two of you play the starring roles!! 

I love reading a decadent romance novel. And, I have totally put myself in the place of the leading lady. Haven't we all? That's why I think this book is so perfect, because not only I am starring but my husband is too!! 

When given the option to review this book, I was asked several details about my life (and my spouses)  to make the story fit.  Then I got to choose the style of novel. You can pick out of several options including:

                                                Beaches-Cruises                    Abroad

 

                                                         Outdoors                        Historical 

I chose the Historical romance....because what woman wouldn't want an adventure on the sea with her love in flouncy dresses in pirate costumes? You can choose a novel that is written is a style that's a little *wilder* or a little *milder*. I voted for the wilder. :-) These books come in paperback, hardcover, or ebook. If you order by December 16th you can get it in time for Christmas!!

I am truly a fan of this novel. It's provided us with a lot of laughs and, of course, romance. 

Would you like to win one?

I'm going to be giving away a paperback of a personalized romance novel from Your Novel!!

"A Lizards Tale" Review

 Is anybody done with their Christmas shopping?? 

I'm totally jealous, if so. I am truly behind this year, mostly because I started a new job working as a librarian. Can you believe it?? I am thrilled with my new job. But, the downside is that I don't have the same kind of time I used to have with my family....let alone time to be out shopping. So, I was so pleased that I got a chance to review a book that could *double* as a Christmas present. By reviewing it, I am working (as a blogger) and getting Christmas presents at the same time. 

Here's the book:

It's an adorable story about a little Anatole lizard named Biz. Told from the pets perspective,  this book helps to enlighten people of all ages to the life of a pet lizard. Biz explains where he came from and where he lives now, in a home with a family. It is an interesting story filled with fun facts about chameleons and the different adventures of Biz around the house that he lives in.  

This book was written by Caroline and Andy Liebenow. For more information about their books click HERE.

As I am planning on gifting this to my Munchkin for Christmas, I can't give you my child's reaction to the story. I can take a very educated guess, however!! The four parts of this story that are mostly likely to intrigue the munchkin are:

1. A Book that can be colored!! That's pretty exciting stuff to be able to do to a book. 

2. Funny anecdotes about the adventures of Biz (from the bee situation to staring at his reflection....this book contains some serious CA-UTE. 

3. Simplistic drawings....sometimes overly ornate illustrations can overhwhelm. 

4. Knowledge of an unusual animal that is told in an interesting way. 

I am really excited to have the Munchkin read and color this fun book!! Be sure to check it out at Amazon HERE. 

I received a book in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own and written in my own words.
