W is for Wish You Were Here giveaway
Giddy. That’s how I would describe getting an advance reader copy of Author Beth K. Vogt’s Wish You Were Here earlier this month.
I couldn’t wait to begin reading the Christian romance novel, but we had company for Easter weekend. So, I tweeted and Beth responded:
Then, I remembered something I read from an interview (and/or blog post) from Susanna Hill Leonard. Light bulb moment — Laundry. I will do laundry!
Another round of tweets:
Turns out, I couldn’t fold laundry during the visit. We enjoyed the company. Then, there was real laundry. After the machines were spinning, I began reading Wish You Were Here. I loved the book and hated to put it down.
Here’s a blurb about the book from the Howard Books/Simon & Schuster’s author page:
Kissing the wrong guy days before her scheduled wedding leads Allison to become a runaway bride. But can it also lead to happily ever after?
Beth’s writing had me hooked from the first time I met Allison in her wedding dress to the very last page.
All this talk about travel during the A to Z challenge this month and reading Wish You Were Here has made me want to pack a bag for adventure. Since I couldn’t do that, I put the advance copy I received of Beth’s book and mailed it to a friend. The book is traveling.
Don’t fret. If you want to win an ebook or paperback, leave a comment by midnight (Mountain Standard Time) on May 1, when the book releases. I’ll select a random winner.

My copy is already on order–I’m looking forward to reading!! 🙂
It’s a fun book Coleen.
Wish You Were Here sounds super Stacy! Thanks for sharing it 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Jennifer. It is.
I received an advance copy, too, but I had to fight my husband over it! He really liked the male protagonist, and both of us enjoyed the fact that the ending wasn’t super predictable. Beth really had me worried about the characters!

Debbie, very true on characters and the ending.
Thanks for including WYWH in.your ATo Z line up! 🙂 I am traveling as I type this –I’m on the east coast. See you at the book launch!
Beth, Enjoy. I’ll see you there!
Excellent post, Stacy! It sounds like a wonderful read. If I don’t win, I’ll buy it, for sure. (((hugs)))
Robyn, Who knows? We’ll see what the randomizer thingy does. 🙂
This sounds like a great book. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Stacy! Sounds like a great book. Thanks for doing a giveaway. Good luck to everyone!
Cute story. I really liked the tweets AND the introduction to a new-to-me writer. And the laundry is now done, right?
Stacy, I always enjoy your stories. What a fun way to get around to reading a book–by tweeting with the author 🙂
I need another book on my TBR list like I need… another book on my TBR list. Still, you make it sound so good. And I love the cover.
So, if I just happen to win, I’ll find a way to reconcile myself to it.
Thanks Jennifer, Susanne, Beth, Susan and Beverly for stopping by to enter.
Wow – would love to get a copy. Thanks
I just read this post…sounds like a great book 🙂 I’m trying to start writing Christian fiction. Been writing off and on for 10 years.
I found you through the A-Z Challenge and I am very glad I did 🙂 Blessings to you.
