The "Happy Birthday Mr. Enamored Soul" Giveaway

Okay, ladies and gentlemen - time for my FIRST GIVEAWAY! So I've only been blogging a few weeks. But I've come to realize that bloggers tend to be such incredibly weird people. We celebrate our milestones not by rewarding ourselves, but by doing giveaway for others - but then again, perhaps it is not that weird, given that happiness and joy grow exponentially when shared with others.

So, as some of you may know (and now all of you will), I'm the luckiest person on the face of this planet because I have Mr. Enamored Soul in my life. To say he makes my world a better place is an understatement, because he IS my world, he IS my life! So, I'm hosting my first giveaway in honor of his upcoming birthday on April 22nd - to me, that day is more important than my own birthday, Christmas and New Years combined!

So, here's what you can win (you get to pick ONE of these fabulous books!) :

 Title: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks


Synopsis: The Notebook, a Southern-fried story of love-lost-and-found-again, revolves around a single time-honored romantic dilemma: will beautiful Allison Nelson stay with Mr. Respectability (to whom she happens to be engaged), or will she hook up with Noah, the romantic rascal she left so many years ago? We're not telling, but you have two guesses and the first one doesn't count. Decades later, after Allison develops Alzheimer's, her beau uses "the notebook" to read her the story of the great love she's plumb forgot.

Why: Because Mr. Enamored Soul is my Noah. And we've promised each other we're gonna grow old together, so that's that! :)

Title: This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Synopsis: Remy doesn't believe in love. He romance novelist mother is working on her 5th marriage, and her father, a '70s hippie singer, left her with only a one-hit wonder song to remember him by. Every time Remy hears "This Lullaby," it feels like "a bruise that never quite healed right." Never without a boyfriend, Remy is a compulsive dater, but before a guy can go all "Ken" on her, she cuts him off, without ever getting close or hurt. She's stunned when klutzy, quirky, alterna-band boy Dexter inserts himself into her life and refuses to leave. Remy plans on having her usual summer fling before tying up the loose ends and heading for the coast. Except Dexter's not following Remy's tried-and-true rules of break-up protocol. And for the first time, Remy's questioning whether or not she wants him to. 

Why: Because when I had given up on love, and built a wall around my heart - Mr. Enamored Soul was the only man who took the time to build himself a door within that wall, and walked into my heart! :)

 Title: A Walk to Remember

  

Synopsis: In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life.

Why: Because you may not know this about me, but I'm quite unhealthy. I've been through some painful, debilitating conditions, and in my darkest hours, when I am ready to give up, or when I am neglecting myself, Mr.Enamored Soul is always around to take care of me & nurse me to health. He has truly been by my side..."in sickness, and in health."

Title: The Body Finder (Book#1) by Kimberly Derting

Synopsis: Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the 16 year old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend,she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense murdered dead bodies.Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world...and the imprints that attach to their killers. Now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him. Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet find the murderer - and Violet is unnerved by her hope that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling in love, Violet is getting closer to discovering a killer...and becoming his prey herself.

Why: Ah! Well, because when asked at random, which book read recently showcased a story about two best friends falling in love, several people answered "The Body Finder". Although I, myself, have not yet read this book - I am offering it for the following two reasons. 1) Because I fell in love with MY best friend and 2) because I love mysteries, and I thought there should be something in here for those who may not necessarily like romantic novels.
