Hubby sent me an email, Subject: Your books are killing me!
"Three more boxes and two more envelopes arrived today, making 11 of the former and about 16 of the latter."
So, what do you think I will do first upon walking in my house:
- pet the cats?
- unpack the suitcase?
- break open the boxes?

And today's giveaway .... I am making my way home ... thus I spotlight Rachael Herron's HOW TO KNIT A HEART BACK HOME:
Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she's absolutely terrified.
In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities . . . while Lucy decides just how much of herself she's willing to gamble on love.
I am giving away this autographed copy to one randomly selected commenter. To enter the giveaway,
1. Leave a comment about home - what makes it special to you?
For me, Hawaii's volcanic mountains becken to me like Scotland's Highlands.
2. This giveaway is open to all readers.
3. Comments are open through Saturday, July 23, 10 pm in Hawaii. I'll post the winner on Sunday, July 24.
Mahalo,
Kim in Dayton

| My peeps are calling me home! |
Home is where I 'fit'. My home is my 'castle', my town, my country. I'm happy to step out of my zone of operations, as it were, but it's great to go back too.
ReplyDeleteBig congrats to this weeks winners!
ReplyDeleteIt's strange but our new house finally feels like home. We have a great neighborhood.
Wow,I do know that when I'm on vacation I can't wait to come home. To sleep in my own bed, eat my own food etc.
ReplyDeleteMy home is "lived" in. Make yourself comfortable, take your shoes off!
Home is special to me because I feel most comfortable at home. I can totally relax and just be at peace.
ReplyDeleteCongrats winners!
ReplyDeleteFamily means home to me. Wherever they are.

ReplyDeleteCongrats winners! Home to me is having all my family together! Cooking, laughing, playing, reading, crying and sharing! Its all good! Thanks for sharing with us today!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you will do when you get home, but I know what you SHOULD do when you get home. *wink wink*
ReplyDeleteHome is where I can curl up on the couch and get lost in a good book; walk around in my (fill in the blank) if I feel like it; dance around like it's nobody's business while I'm cleaning the house. Home is where I'm accepted no matter what.
Yeah, Hubs tells me my books are starting to over-take a room in the house.
Thank you, thank you, Kim!
Well Kim that's a tough Call .. Mind you I think I would hug DH first....

Congratulations to ALL the winners enjoy the reads,

Congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeletehome is where my family(heart) is.
My cats would be waiting at the door so the first thing I would do would be to pet them! lol Home, of course, is where my family is.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think I'd be offended that I'm not in the top 3, but I'm well aware of my place in the pecking order. I think I'm more surprised that "go for the chocolate" isn't on there!

Congrats to all the winners! What makes home special to me would be the memories and family as it is somewhere where I grew up :)
ReplyDeleteAs a rebuttal to my husband, I expect that he will greet me at the airport with:
ReplyDelete(1) a kiss
(2) chocolate
(3) "Welcome Home."
Since he has to go back to work, and we have children in the house, he'll move up the pecking order at night!
Kim in Vegas
Actually, the chocolate is in the fridge--it's too perishable to take to the airport. :-)

Home is special cause it's full of the things I love. I feel like I'm stepping in a house that's full of me when I walk through the door. And I happen to think that's great :)
ReplyDeletehome is where the heart is. :) its cozy, and its mine. its my life imprinted on the walls and safe place that i never have to fear. its everything.
