    Hi! I signed up for a couple of your hops before, but I never got the linky. :( But then someone told me to check on my spam folder, and sure enough, there they were! :(
    Sorry about that, I will be checking my spam folder for sure this time.

The day I was leaving, we were both trying not to cry and she gave a copy of the book.

    You had asked in your post about the most precious book I had either received or given. I have to agree with you…my most precious books are both hard copies that I have been given by my sweet author friends – Secrets and Desires of the Heart by Kellie Kamryn and hot off the press, Charmeine by Emily Guido. Love them both!

    As for my favorite Christmas read, That would likely be either How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Luke II, or my newest favorite, I Need You for Christmas by Leah Braemel.
