I don't know if you've been reading Clare O'Donohue's "Someday Quilts" series, but if you haven't, you've been missing out. But don't feel bad - I didn't know I was either!
The publisher contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be interested in doing a giveaway of this book, and I said "Sure!" I mean, we all like givaways, right? When she sent me two copies (one for me, and one to give away) I started reading my copy and really liked it!
I pretty much only read on the way back and forth to work, and only if I get a seat - so you can imagine I don't read a lot. But this book is nice light reading, fun and entertaining, so I was quite disappointed if I didn't get a chance to read it on any given day.
I also wanted to make an oversized Devil's Puzzle quilt block for use in a tote bag or some such, but you know what, it turns out that a Devil's Puzzle quilt block is the very devil to make! (And y'all know that I suck at block making generally, anyway.)
So I found this picture of one that I posted instead. lol
Anyway, I also wanted to finish the book before I gave it away so I could honestly say I'd read the book, and I finished it last night.
Here's a blurb from the Amazon site:
After their quilting retreat upstate, the Someday Quilts ladies return to Archers Rest to prepare for the town's big anniversary celebration. But their plans are unexpectedly derailed by the discovery of a human skeleton in Nell's grandmother's backyard-making Eleanor the prime suspect in a murder. But a skeleton isn't the only thing that's long been buried. When a wave of vandalism raises fears that the town's bygone history of witchcraft has been reawakened, secrets are unearthed that could change life in Archers Rest forever.
Oooh! You've got to read it now, right? :)
You don't need to be a follower for this one: leave a comment today or tomorrow and I'll announce the winner on Tuesday, November 1.
Happy Sunday!

I wasn't totally interested until I read that blurb! LOL! Very intriguing now!
ReplyDeleteCount me IN. I love mysteries and I have read many of the Elm Creek Quilters series from Jennifer Chiaverini. Hope I win!!
ReplyDeleteI'll read it now whether I win it or not! I'd rather win it, though:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I have read Drunkard's Path, Lover's Knot, and Double Cross, but I didn't know this one existed! I want to read it, too! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOooh, count me in! That is my secret vice - reading murder mysteries. All the better if it features quilting! Love your Devil's Puzzle quilt block. It does look hard - don't think I'll be making one anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like that series. If I don't win your giveaway I have to find this one at the library. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds right up my Alley! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for a good read and this sounds like it might be fun. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI love to read and always enjoy a new book. Thanks for the giveaway -
ReplyDeleteSome relaxing reading would be very welcome right now!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. The only time I read is before I go to bed, and that's only if I get to bed at a decent hour. Congratulations on your finishes! Like you, this blogtoberfest has really helped me evaluate my quilting-related habits. I've made some changes as well as objectively look at my strenghts and weaknesses. It's been fun for me and hope the same for you
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read, count me in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! Going to get some on my Kindle right now!!!
