So this morning I was thinking about what a big week it is for Melanie and her book and everyone who’s going to get to read her book because it is hilarious. And touching. And fantastic.
And then I decided that I have some sort of codependent enthusiasm disorder that causes me to be over-the-top excited about something going on with a friend – to the point that other people might be tempted to ask me to HUSH IT, POR FAVOR.
Regardless, I am so proud of my sweet friend, and since I am in fact beside myself that her book releases this Friday, I thought it would be fun to do a little impromptu giveaway. I haven’t even told Melanie that I’m going to do this, primarily because she would try to talk me out of it.
TOO LATE FOR THAT, SISTER.
So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m giving away five copies of Melanie’s book, Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn – but you only have until 5 o’clock central time on Tuesday to enter the giveaway. A little after 5 o’clock I’ll draw for five winners, and I’ll notify them by email ASAP. And if you’ve already ordered a copy of the book, feel free to enter and then give away your prize if you win. I’ll even have it shipped to someone else if you want. Just please make sure that your email address is accurate when you leave your comment since that’s the way that I’ll contact the winners.
So. If you’d like to enter, just leave a comment with your answer to this question: what’s your favorite song right now?
(I have no idea why I picked that question.)
(But let’s just run with it.)
Remember – you have to enter the giveaway by 5 o’clock central. PM, of course. Because if you think I’m going to wake up at 5 in the morning to moderate giveaway comments, then perhaps I should introduce myself.
Can’t wait to see who wins!
(Well, really you’re all winners.)
(At least that’s what pageant emcees say.)
(And you know what? I believe ’em.)
This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be notified shortly!
I Am Blessed- Martina McBride.
I would love this book because Melanie is so stinking hilarious!

My favorite song right now? Need You Now by Plumb… I had to look the title up btw… I’m horrible at remembering titles and artists… I blame it on all the sleep I lost when my children were babies :) I’m excited for Melanie too and would love to win a copy of her new book!
10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman.
“I Run to Christ”. A song we’ve been singing in church., words by Chris Anderson. Makes me cry every time we sing it. Can’t wait to read Melanie’s book!
My favorite song lately is Fun’s “Some Nights”
Ho hey by the lumineers
My favorite song right now is from the Brave Soundtrack, Into the Open Air. It’s about a mother and daughter relationship and gets me emotional every time I listen to it. I’ve even been listening to it when my daughter’s not in the car, haha.
My current favorite song is “Not For a Moment” by Meredith Andrews.
I wasn’t prepared for tears at work today! Melanie is a perfect mix of funny, honest, and touching. I’d love to get the book!
Ahh! I hit reply too soon. My favorite song right now is Trouble by T. Swift because we play it over and over and over when my girls are in the car.
This is kind of a strange old school one, but here it is: I love the Lord by Whitney Houston. Heard it in church, youtubed it and now I can’t stop listening to it.

My favorite song right now is “below my feet” by mumford and sons =)
Well this is just an unfair question because how am I supposed to pick just one? Well, my favorite right now (which could change in 5 minutes) would be Unredeemed by Selah. It’s just really hitting me right where I am at the moment, and oh my gracious the beauty in that song.
I’ve already pre-ordered my copy and am anxiously awaiting its arrival, but I would love to win one for my sister! I can’t think of one song in particular that’s my current favorite, but I have been listening to The Wailin’ Jennys Pandora station every time we’re in the car lately. :)
