A Wintery Tale

Awhile back, Paula had a giveaway and I was the winner.  Her giveaway was this book, Whiter Than Snow by Sandra Dallas, an author new to me.

When the book came, Joe was between reads, so he grabbed it and read it before I got to it.  When he was done, I was in the midst of a 900-page tome (oh, my wrists!) and just this past week got to read Whiter Than Snow.

It is a gentle book about an avalanche, which sounds like a contradiction in terms.  Each chapter is almost like a short story, as we are introduced to one character's story after another.  I liked it.

When I signed up for Paula's giveaway, I promised to give this book away after reading it.  So now it is time to do that.  If you want the book, leave me a comment, and I'll draw a name.  I think it would be nifty if you'd also promise to give it away when finished.  But that isn't mandatory.

I have this one on my list, too. I'll be happy to pass it on to someone else, too.

Thanks.
I'm glad you liked it. Please, do not enter me as I still have my own copy.

I read her novel The Persian Pickle Club several years ago and loved it. Will definitely pass it on if I win. Thanks.

That is a great idea.... nothing better than sharing books (except maybe fabric)

I don't know how I managed to miss a whole week of blog posts, but glory, girl, you've been busy! I don't read nearly enough, so as much as I would like to take part in your giveaway it would be eons before I read it. I do like the description of a gentle story of an avalanche. I catch your drift!

Happy New Year to you, friend.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this book. I am familiar with Sandra Dallas as co-author of "The Quilt That Walked to Golden". My tradition, when passing along books, is to put name and date read inside the cover, and ask each reader to do the same. It's fun to see who has read the book before I received it. Sometimes a book even comes back to me. What fun!

I would love a chance to read this book, and I have the person to pass it to in mind already.

This is a new author to me but sounds like a good book so count me in and I love the idea of passing it on in another giveaway.

I would love to read it and will definitely pass it on. I belong to several groups that pass books along. We do not have a "club" where we read the same book and discuss it because of physical distance to each other. Please count me in. Your CA cuz

Love to read...love to share. Happy New Year!

I've read nearly everything by Sandra Dallas, but not this one. I have a quilting and reading buddy who would probably also enjoy this, so I definitely have someone to pass it on to.

I haven't read this one either. I have read one other by Sandra Dallas, The Persian Pickle Club.

A gentle story about an avalanche? I love that! I'm into all things gentle this year. If I won, I would definitely pass it on. Thank you. Mona
Reading sustains me, I love real-life adventure tales and this fits that bill perfectly. Passing books on when I finish them has been a way of life since I was a child-I promise to keep it intact !~! Thanks for hosting.
