What beautiful blog candy...I am currently reading The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir. I am a history fan and have read most of her work. Great author if you love history.

Tasha said...

Hello Ila and Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!! Your candy looks fab, certainly generous of you hun. Oooh and this is my first ever blog candy entry :) Now books another passion of mine, i'm halfway through the Kathy Reichs series for the 2nd time, they all run in a series and they really are gripping,But only if your into forensics, Mark Billingham is amazing too it's based on a detective oh and who can forget Patricia Cornwell she's amazing! But if your looking for gruesome go for Karin Slaughter her books are brilliant. It all depends on what you like really, Have a great birthday hun, Tash xxx

Alexandra said...

My favorite book in this moment is "une (irresistible) envie de sucré" de "Albin Michel" but i think you are not interessed because I am french and i live in Paris. Sorry for the orthographe of the word but i speak a little english... Sorry.
Thank you for this blog candy

Hi and happy birthday. If I could be so lucky.....to win your fantastic blogcandy.

I am reading one of my favotites right now: "Devil Cub" by Georgette Heyer.

linda said...

Lovely blog candy! I am currently reading Good Luck Life by Rosemary Gong...all about chinese culture and traditions/holidays. I'm following your blog posts, thanks for sharing!

Vannessa said...

Wow what a fabtastic set of prizes! I'm currently reading Minion by LA Banks. It's the first in the vampire huntress series and so far it's really good. (I've just finished Once Bitten Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin and that was quite good too - another vampire action book, as opposed to romantic vampire fiction). If you like vampire fiction, it's worth looking at...much better than that Twilight softy rubbish LOL

Anonymous said...

Wow! Amazing candy on offer here! I hope you've had a great birthday, and a nice Mother's day tomorrow!!
I'm reading my all time favorite book (again) now at the moment, Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. Not the easiest book to read on a bright summer's day, but I love it every time!
Thanks for the chance!! :)

Your candy is great and I could use all of these items for my classes at the senior center. All of it is volunteer and so that is why I enter candys. I donate my time and the ladies and I make cards that 1/2 of them go into a box. Then every quarter, this box goes to a local charity that gives goodie bags to shut ins and Hospice patients. You know, things like shampoo, toothpaste, and sometimes even a holiday dinner, complete with handmade paper table cloths, and decorations that fit the occasion. We have tons of fun and it's a good cause too. A lot of our supplies are scraps or unwanted items from designers I've met with blogging. Thanks for the chance. Here's hoping! As far as a good book: I loved 20 Wishes by Debbie Macomber. It is about a group of 4 widows and how they form a group and find love again. It isn't sad at all, and if you know Debbie's work, it goes along with the Blossom Street line. Enjoyable! Linda Crowder Dallas TX

rose-marie said...

oh.. what awesome candies... i would love to win something like this =)

i usually don't read that many books... but there is one special, i read a while back, for my english-class.. it's called "tuesdays with Morrie" (can't remember the author though, sorry) but it's a great book, and it really gets you thinking about life... a book like no other..

Awesome blog candy. I would love to begin reading Twilight because I have heard such good things about it.

Anonymous said...

Please excuse me if my last message worked.... I don't think it did. My book I'm reccommending is Forgiving the Dead Man Walking written by Debbie Morris with Gregg Lewis; It's a real reality check; and worth the read.

Shannon Wallace said...

Hi there! Thanks for offering lovely blog candy!!

I am currently reading Michael J Fox's new book, Looking Up. Thus far, it's pretty good. It makes you appreciate the good life God provies (i.e. good health). Not that Mr. Fox hasn't had a great life, but he lives challenged day by day, and stays optimistic! Give it a try!

God bless!

Thanks for the chance to win some candy!

Elaine G said...

Hi Ila, thank you for the lovely blog candy you have on offer. I don't read a lot but I do enjoy books by Debbie Macomber, they are very easy reading. I also read two books by Jodi Picoult which I really enjoyed My Sister's Keeper and Change of Heart. As for favourite stamps I don't have too many of them and still no magnolias but I do like using digital stamps.

Thanks again.

Thanks for this Blog Candy is really awsome
The last book I have read is 90 minutes in Heaven

The Art of Being Kelcified said...

Books! I love books! The most precious book to me and the best one you can ever read would be the Holy Bible. I just finished reading Crucial Conversations: How to Talk When the Stakes are High and it was very insightful and helpful for my professional career. I am currently reading a book called Crack the Fat-Loss Code by Wendy Chant. It is amazing and it works! Yesterday I finished a book that one of my mom's good friends put together of events that happened in her life that just shows how God's hand was on her life in everything. It is a great compilation of stories not yet published. I haven't read any novels lately.

Anne said...

Lovely blog candy!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I haven't read any book lately. But my favorite stamps right now are from Sarah Kay.

Barb said...

I just found your site & love the things you have done! The stamps you used are wonderful.
I just got a book for Mother's Day from my daughter by Mary Higgins Clark titled "Just Take My Heart". I think I have read every book she has ever written. Been reading her books for probably over 20 years. She writes mystery stories, and I usually end up reading the whole book in 1 -2 days because they are so full of suspense it is hard to put them down.

Zsu's Home of Art said...

Hi,
what a wonderful candy! Thanks for the chance.
The only time to read I have is, when I am sitting on the bicycle ergometer. :-) Now I read "Whispers of the Dead" from Simon Beckett
Thanks, Zsu

Happy Birthday. I am reading the "Left Behind" series which is Apocalyptic fiction series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. It is very convincing to me as I have read the series once but what is happening in the world today made me want to read it again. Very compelling.

Check out my blog which has nothing to do with reading but all to do about stamping.

I am reading a wonderful book right now, and for the 4th time, too. "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes. This book is soo delicious ("... the grapes- they even taste purple...")that I find myself yearning for its richness.
Definately worth a read, but even sweeter each read :)

Happy Birthday to you my dear!

Thank you so very much for the chance to win this awesome candy. I am not much of a reader, I stay so busy with other things. I can tell you my favorite stamp at the moment......the new Tilda chasing butterflies. It reminds me of my daughter running around at my parents farm, tying to catch butterflies. It is so precious and so is Tilda.

Thanks again!

I love to read and one of my fav books is The Host by Stephanie Meyer - It's sci-fi for those that don't like sci-fi like me! LOL There are so many fabulous books out there - for a fun fast light read I love anything by danielle steele.

Happy Birthday to you!
The very last book I read was Ken Follett, Pillars of the Earth. A very good book. I am waiting for the next book in the series to come out in "mass market" paperback before I purchase it. (It is a large book and I like to toss it in my handbag.)
Thanks for the generous blog candy opportunity.

I love your blog. Not sure if I made the deadline for the candy or not, but I am following this blog. I'm a huge bookworm but find myself going back to the classics. My all time favorite is Wuthering Heights. I can read that book and never ever get tired of it. anyway, happy birthday and thanks for offering such beautiful blog candy.

I'm addicted to books on tape - don't leave home without them. Can't remember the name of the book I'm listening to know, but anything by Catherine Coulter is great for an escape!
