And the Sunday Surprise Book Giveaway .... Deborah Bedford's HIS OTHER WIFE

Since her divorce from Eric, Hilary has done everything she can to control life for herself and her son. Beneath a calm surface, she is terrified of failing Seth. She's worked hard to raise him on her own, and she's succeeded--he's now set to graduate from high school and enroll at the University of Illinois with a full scholarship.

But Hilary's worst fears are realized when there is a rock-climbing accident at a post-graduation campout. A young girl is hurt, and Seth is arrested. Pamela, Eric's new wife and Seth's stepmother, blames Hilary for letting Scott go to the campout in the first place. With Seth's college scholarship now just a distant memory and his entire future at stake, the two women must come together for Seth's sake.

Is Hilary's love strong enough to save her son and release him to her ex-husband's other wife?

Will an Oscar win help Colin Firth transition from Mr. Darcy to King George in the mind's of romance fans?  For me, he will forever by the ultimate Regency hero!

  1. Congrats to all the winners!!! I love Colin Firth and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he wins for the King's Speech. I also enjoy watching the stars walk the Red Carpets.

  7. Congratulations to all the winners and especially to Emily! (Thieves! and a Farmer Calendar). And as for Colin Firth .... my favorite scene of all time is the lake scene in Pride and Prejudice .... sigh.

  8. Thank you Kim!

    I haven't seen any of the films that are in the running for Best Picture, but I am hoping The King's Speech sweeps! I too like Colin Firth. His character in the Bridget Jones Diary movies was so squeezable! I don't think I'll be tuning in though. I'm not one for watching award shows.

    Hubs and I did get onion planted yesterday. Well, Hubs did. Our gardening season for 2011 is starting.

  9. So many winners! Congrats, all!! :)

    My weekend was SO busy. One of my roommates and I had to attend a rugby clinic that had an insane schedule. Friday night from 8pm to midnight, all day Saturday from 7am to 11pm, and Sunday morning (today) from 7am to 10.30am. We got five hours of sleep each night AND still had to do all our tackles and conditioning. So, sorry if we've been a little MIA :)
