This weeks freebie is in honor of my absolute FAVORITE time of year… Summer! So this weeks book is a beautiful hard cover copy of The Beach House by Jane Green.Sixty-five-year-old Nan Powell has lived comfortably and happily in Nantucket since the suicide of her husband, Everett, so she is thrown for a loop when she learns that she is in danger of losing her beloved house. After weighing her options, Nan decides to turn her home into a bed-and-breakfast. The guests she gets for the summer are all at a crossroads in their lives in one way or another. Daniel has just separated from his wife and is facing something he has denied for years; Daff is recovering from the heartbreak of a divorce and getting a much-needed break from her anger-filled 13-year-old daughter; and Nan’s son Michael is on the run from a disastrous affair. Nan finds herself opening up to her guests and enjoying their company, but she is shocked when she discovers a person close to one of them has a startling connection to her.

Please email me your shipping info and this little treasure will be on its way to you!
In honor of Jodi Picoult’s book My Sisters Keeper being released this week as a movie, I thought I would offer a Picoult book. I have a new oversized paperback copy of Keeping Faith for this weeks giveaway.
When the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression—and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata. And when the miraculous healings begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile center of controversy and into the heat of a custody battle—trapped in a mad media circus that threatens what little stability the family has left.
To enter,
1. Place a comment here with your favorite Picoult book that you have read (if you have read her)
2. Earn an additional chance to win by blogging about this contest on your blog or Twitter
Winner will be announced next Friday July 10. You must be in the US and no p.o. box numbers.
Have fun and have a safe and happy 4th of July!
