The last one in this photo is a book that I picked up at the local Goodwill store. I have heard so much about Georgette Heyer and haven't read any of her work, so I was really excited when I found this. It's hardback and in really good shape, too.
If you're counting, you'll see that there are only 10 new books in these photos, and I said that I won 15. So what happened to the other books you ask? I decided to do some giveaways with the other 5 books. So, check back in the near future for some free books!
Now, on to the snow. Being in the Piedmont of North Carolina, we don't see a whole lot of snow. We may get a dusting once or twice a winter, and that's pretty much it. Needless to say, it's exciting when we get more than just a flurry. Most of this area got some snow, and it seems that we got the most in my immediate area. I think we had around six or seven inches. O.K., I can hear some of you now -- "That's not much snow!" Well, for us it is. I actually got a day off work on Monday due to the weather. It was absolutely gorgeous. It started snowing Sunday evening around 5:30 and continued throughout the night. When I got up on Monday morning, there was a beautiful blanket of snow covering everything. The best part is that the sun was shining and
th
e sky was a brilliant blue.

Congrats on winning the contest! Enjoy all your new books :)
Those are some lovely snow pics. Especially the last one.
nymeth, Thanks!
Congratulations! What a great haul!
Your snow pictures are beautiful. We've had more than our fair share this winter and, now that it's March, I'm ready for spring.
Do I believe you're taking pictures of books?? Of course I do! I'm about to do the same. Congratulations on winning this contest -nice haul!!
JoAnn, Oh, I am so ready for Spring! That's one thing I love about North Carolina -- if you don't like the weather -- just wait, it'll change soon. We had snow on Monday and temps. in the teens. Today, just four days later, it is 74 degrees!!
Tara, I'm just so bad at taking the time to do the pictures like everyone else always does. I love looking at everyone's book photos.
Congrats! I always wonder who wins all those books when they give away a stack. I'm glad to know they really do give them away! :) Enjoy your snow--it is pretty when it first falls (as long as you get to watch it while snug and warm in your house).
Thanks, Danielle. We had snow on Monday, and today it was 78 degrees!
What a wonderful surprise to come home to, Lisa! I hope you like Who By Fire as much as I did. You have a few others there that I am looking forward to reading one day.
literary feline, I haven't read that much about Who by Fire, so I'm looking forward to it. I'd like a few more surprises of that kind. hehe
I'm late on this but the snow pics are awesome!
I wish they would hurry up, but this book is on the cart waiting to have the cover wrapped! I want to live in it during spring break!
maggie, thanks. I hope they get it ready for you! Happy Spring Break!!
