Celebrate Reading! Enter the U-Pick the Book Giveaway

 Hi there,

Welcome to the Gardens, Books, and Romance's May book giveaway. We've joined in the Life's a Beach Giveaway Hop. A huge thank you to our hosts, The Kids Did It and The Mommy Island.

Here in Knoxville, TN it's been raining a lot lately. A great time to read a favorite book. I've got a few favorites and several are funny laugh-out-loud types. My favorite author is David Sedaris. I love his book Me Talk Pretty One Day. Have you read a book that makes you laugh and cry? That's how funny David Sedaris is. Hands-down I recommend any of his books. They're great reads and equally hilarious to listen to on a long drive. 


For an easy entry, leave a book recommendation below. And thanks for stopping by. See you next month for another book giveaway~

    I recommend The Attributes by Rich Diviney which I received as an ARC from Goodreads. It is a book on motivation and leadership written by a former Navy SEAL. You can have skills, but unless you can collaborate and communicate, you're not a good fit for a job.
