During the Ultimate Blog Party I won a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate from Katkat over at No Diet Coke for Mommy. Thanks Katkat!
On the recommendation of 5 Minutes for Mom, I used the gift certificate to buy the book Ocean Star by Christina DiMari.
I really enjoyed reading Ocean Star, and I'd like to pass it on.
(Click here or here to see what the book is about.)
If you would like to be entered into the contest all you have to do is leave me a comment. On Tuesday April 23, I'll put all the names in a hat and have Tessa pick one out. If you are the lucky winner, I'll mail the book to you. No need to leave addresses in the comment section… if you win, we can email each other.
Good luck!


Count me in! Thanks!

[...] Laughing Mommy is giving away a copy of Ocean Star. Guess what? After winning a $20 Amazon gift certificate from KatKat at our Ultimate Blog Party, she chose to buy Ocean Star. (She selected Ocean Star because of Susan’s enthusiastic review of the book back in March.) Laughing Mommy loved it so much, she wanted to pass on the gift giving and offer her copy as a prize to one of her commenters. It is an incredible memoir and Laughing Mommy’s post only has a few comments so far - so head over there fast! (She is drawing the winner April 23.) You have great odds of winning this powerful book.
