*CLOSED*"The Fixer Upper" Book Review and Giveaway

I want to take a second to announce the winner of the Roxio PhotoShow Giveaway, Xenia with Thanks, Mail Carrier. She is such a great lady and I am so glad to be following her blog.

The winner of the awesome SmartKnit Kids Seamless Socks is TJ and Amy. Amy is a very sweet lady too. She has a great blog all about her family, which by the way is so beautiful! They could all be models. Go by and visit both these ladies sites and wish them CONGRATS!

Reviewing the book “The Fixer Upper” by Mary Kay Andrews

This is my first time to read Mary Kay Andrews, but it will not be my last! What an intriguing book this was. I could not put it down! It had such an enjoyable plot from start to finish. Dempsey Killebrew is the person of interest in this book. She is a young girl, graduated from law school and working in the political world as a lobbyist. Dempsey, learns about corruption, family roots, bonds, and love in this book.

This book will grab your attention from the first page and hold it to the last. You will grow to love the secondary characters in this book. The house, “Birdsong” will possibly make you want to take a trip down to Guthrie, Georgia yourself! I always hate to see a book like this end. It is like you have to say good-bye to all the new friends you just met!

The book does have mild language in it. You can read an expletive and then go pages and pages before you will see another one. I cannot wait to purchase another Mary Kay Andrews book! Good luck on winning this one for yourself!!

Thanks to HarperCollins Publishing, three of my readers will have a chance to win a copy of this book. I also want to say thanks to Linda (my mama) for reviewing this book for you guys.

    That was a great review! It really made me want to read the book. Even if I don't win it here, I'll probably buy it or another book by the author.

  4. Mrs. G.I. Joe says:

    My favorite book genre is fiction, in the broad sense. I love Christian fiction, beach reads like The Starter Wife and especially mystery series based on my favorite tv shows like Monk and Psych.

    Basically, I'll read anything that lets me escape reality for a little while :P

    Fav genre of book? Hmmm, that's a hard one, I like quite a few different ones. Right now I'd say 'knitting' novels are my fav. I also like Christian fiction, and of course the Twilight books were a favorite too.

    my favorite books are psychological thrillers and funny romance stories. I know, complete opposites but it matches my multiple personality problem (according to the hubby!)
