Giveaway: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Well I am so happy to be able to celebrate my 200th post with you all! In honor of this momentous occasion I have decided to have a little giveaway for my lightly read copy of The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I know that many of you have probably already read this book, but I figure there are a couple left out there that haven't.


Here is a brief summary from Sue Monk Kidd's website:

In this New York Times bestseller, a young girl’s search for the truth about her mother leads her to three beekeeping sisters who take her into their mesmerizing world of bees and honey and of a mysterious Black Madonna. A novel about mothers and daughters and the women in our lives who become our true mothers. A story about the divine power of women and the transforming power of love.

Here's how to enter the giveaway!

To enter this contest you must be 18 or older and live in the US or Canada.

For one entry leave me a comment including your email address below.

For two additional entries, blog about this contest or add the link to your sidebar.

Please include your email so I will have a way to contact you if you win.

You will have until August 14th to enter and I will draw for a winner on August 15th.

Good luck everyone!

    I would love to read this. It was one of the choices on my son's reading list last year, but of course being a boy he didn't choose it. (Darn!)
