SPECIAL THANKSGIVING DAY BOOK GIVEAWAY!!!!

In order to wish you all a "Happy Thanksgiving", I will be having a very special giveaway that will only last for today. Yes, only today. And the book is:

Bon Appetit by Sandra Byrd



This book is all about food and baking and lots of yummy goodies. It is set in France but it is about an American who is studying abroad and has to deal with being away from home. She realizes what she is truly thankful for and what is important. Things we should be thinking about on this special holiday.

I've loved the first two books in the French Twist series and can't wait to read Piece de Resistance. I featured this book on my Teaser Tuesday post.

Let Them Eat Cake (French Twist Book 1) by Sandra Byrd

This was a very good read. Lexi is a college graduate that is floundering around trying to find her groove. She's had lots of dead end jobs and had to move back in with her parents when she loses yet another job.

By chance, she drops by a bakery and sees that they are accepting applications, but it is only for front counter help. She's pretty desperate at that point and at least the job is somewhat moving in the direction she wants to go.

Through "twists" and turns, she muddles her way through and finds a the direction that she wants her life to head in. She also discovers that she must "drive herself" to church and take responsibility for her own spiritually and not depend on her mom's faith.

Reading this book makes me want to bake fancy pastries and try new recipes. In the book Lexi uses Allrecipes.com. I use that site for almost all my recipe searches so I found it very interesting. There are also recipes listed throughout the book.

I'm looking forward to reading the next two books in the series.
