So in one week – just one week – y’all are in for such a treat. I cannot even begin to tell you.
Because in one week, my dear friend Melanie’s new book releases, and IT. IS. A. TREASURE.
(I’m just as sorry as I can be about my poor photography skills.)
(But I’m not at my house tonight and can’t take another picture – so I’m just going with the one on my phone.)
(I do hope I haven’t offended anyone’s photographic sensibilities.)
Melanie’s new book is called Nobody’s Cuter Than You, and it’s a heartfelt, hilarious, tender tribute to the beauty of friendship. There are stories about Melanie and her best friend Gulley, of course, but there are also stories about Melanie’s childhood friends, neighborhood friends, high school friends, and college friends. I feel like it’s the most personal book Melanie has written so far, and since I didn’t know her when she was growing up in Texas, I flat-out SOAKED UP all the stories of her childhood and teenage years.
And then, when Melanie gets to the part where she starts school at Texas A&M and meets Gulley – well, I could have read those chapters forever. Because let me just say this about that friendship: I have talked to Melanie almost every day for the last 8 1/2 years, and I have never – NOT ONE TIME – heard her say anything unkind about Gulley. Those two absolutely adore each other in the most selfless, loyal, unconditional way; their friendship, as many of you know, is deep and real and true. So are the other friendships Melanie writes about in this book. And when you finish reading these stories, you’re going to be encouraged, inspired, and filling up your online bookstore cart with copies of Nobody’s Cuter… for your closest friends.
So. Because I love this book, and because I love my honest, trustworthy, hilarious friend Melanie, and because friendship is worth celebrating, I’m giving away five (5) copies of Nobody’s Cuter Than You. Winners will be able to select either a paperback or an eBook, and I’ll order copies just as soon as winners supply me with shipping or eBook delivery info.
This giveaway is open until Wednesday, April 1, at noon central time. I’ll notify winners via email.
If you’d like to enter to win, just leave a comment on this post.
And if you’d like an extra entry, just mention Melanie’s book on one of your social media platforms (FB, Twitter, Instagram, blog, etc.) and then come back here and leave an additional comment that says “social media entry.”
Happy Giveaway, everybody!
(Nobody’s cuter than you.)
(I mean it.)

I would love, love, love to win a copy of this book! I have recently moved from South La to South Alabama & have moved away from the best friends in the entire world. My heart is very emotional about it all! Reading a book about friendship sounds really good about now.

I need one for my collection of BigMama and BooMama books! Love both of you!

I have best friends that God placed in my life as my neighbors. It doesn’t get better than that! We have been friends 34 years. I would love to read Melanie’s book. The first review I ever put on Amazon was for your first book. I did not want it to end. A Little Salty to Cut The Sweet was a book that could have been about my family. Love your books and can’t wait to read Melanie’s books.
Can’t wait to read her new book!!!
My best friend and I have been talking through everything since 10th grade. She married her high school sweet heart 6 years ago and I fell in love with his brother. Now she’s my sister in law and pregnant with my nephew! I’m going to buy a copy for myself but I would love to give this to her as a birthday gift. Thank you for the consideration!
I would love this book! A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.. Proverbs 27:9
