GIVEAWAY! Ransom My Heart by Meg Cabot

This giveaway is for an uncorrected proof of Ransom My Heart by Meg Cabot. I received this as part of the First Look program hosted by Harper Collins. Although this is my own copy, it is in pristine condition as I hate to crease spines or fold the pages!

Here’s the blurb from Barnes & Noble:

“He’s a tall, handsome knight with a secret. She’s an adventurous beauty with more than a few secrets of her own. Finnula needs money for her sister’s dowry, and fast. Hugo Fitzstephen, returning home to England from the Crusades with saddlebags of jewels, has money, and lots of it. What could be simpler than to kidnap him and hold him for ransom? Well, for starters, Finnula could make the terrible mistake of falling in love with her hostage.”

My Little To-Read List

For the past week or so, I’ve found myself struggling to get my reading in. Certainly not because of the books I’m reading, but because work and personal stuff continue to stretch me into a thin, cardboard version of myself. Sort of reminds me of Flat Stanley except that a bulletin board fell on him. That did not happen to me (thank goodness). You get the idea though.

So to keep it all straight.. here is my immediate “to-read” list:

1. The Terror by Dan Simmons (reading this now but it is 700+ pages.. will take awhile)

2. The Bone People by Keri Hulme (for my Feb book club meeting, on order from the library but not here yet!)

3. The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad (For a One Book, One City discussion, on order but not here yet!)

4. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer (I don’t even have it yet, but plan to buy it this weekend)

Ahhh. I feel better now. Somehow putting it down in writing makes it all better.

Chatting with friends about books and life…
