Random Bits & Pieces

I've had several things swirling through my head over the last few days. So, instead of trying to figure out how to work in several posts, you're getting them all in one. :)

I haven't posted Friday's Freebies in a while because truthfully there haven't been many (if any) new freebies out there. Today, however, I found one that I just had to share with you. Christmas at Harrington's by Melody Carlson. I am actually about halfway through it right now (courtesy of the public library!) and this one is definitely a keeper! You can download from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, ChristianBook.com, or anywhere else ebooks are sold.

Katie from Legacy of a Writer has a giveaway going on right now for a copy of Sandra Byrd's To Die For. I'm looking forward to reading this one, so be sure to check out the giveaway!

Katie is also thinking about hosting a book swap of sorts on her blog. If you're interested in participating and cleaning out your book shelves, let her know so she can include you!

Karen Kingsbury (you know, the author of The Bailey Flanigan series!) posted a really fun book sharing idea on her Facebook page yesterday (11/28/2011 at 9:13 am). Basically, she wants to connect readers who have a copy of Longing that they would be willing to share with someone with a reader who would like to read the book but can't afford it. Great idea, huh?! My copy was an advanced e-galley so I can't participate, but if you are interested check out the details on Facebook.

I'm working on a fun little Christmas quiz. Hoping to post it sometime this month. If I do, you have to promise to participate!

I'm also thinking about a couple of other things to possibly do this month to help us connect a little better. I mean, I love seeing that lots of people are out there reading (thanks, stats!), but I'd love to have a bit more interaction with everyone from time to time.

Okay. That's enough for me. I'm sure it's enough for you ... if you're still reading! Have a great Tuesday!
