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 would love to have a copy of this book. The Lord moved my husband and I away from our family after we had been married only 3 years. My friends became my support system and
“family” so to speak in the many places my husband and I have lived over the past 42 years.. I understand the true meaning of friends and would absolutely love to have a copy of this book.
I loved her last book and can’t wait to read this one!
So looking forward to reading this!

i love Melanie! Can’t wait for her new book!
I just love reading your books! I’m reading “Home is Where My People Are” now and can’t wait to read Melanie’s new book. It ‘s like I’m chatting with my girlfriends. And the references to life in the 70’s thru the 90’s are SPOT ON. You have reminded me of so many things in my childhood that I had just forgotten all about. Delightful, indeed.
I am excited when either of you two witty Godly women release a new book! And I’ve made it my goal to share the joy with others by giving or loaning your and Melanie’s books to my friends. Just got them in the hands of my beautician – so expect to see an increase in sales when she also spreads the word! Ha ha Keep it up!

Well, of course I want to win! I love her books. And yours too. You both should do nothing but write books for all of us readers!! :)

I would love to win. I’ve already shared with my friends far and wide the book is coming out but I’m going to post it again for that extra entry… :-)
I have already preordered some copies -but I’d love to give copies to all my girlfriends.
Loved the first two books & love the new book’s title :)
Yes, I’m in for a free copy. I just lost my best friend due to her son and my daughter breaking up. They’re just high schoolers, but we became so close and the friendship just could not survive the trauma. I could use a good laugh and re-setting my GPS.
I’m looking forward to reading…and hopefully finding out if “Gulley” is her given name or a nickname. It’s always mystified me!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I can’t wait to read her new book! Looks fantastic!
I am blessed to have some of those “always and forever” friendships. As a pastor’s wife, we have moved here and there and this just makes them more precious…sweet books from those that understand the true gift of friendship is a treasure, too. A friend to visit with when there are miles between you and your friends….I can’t wait to read this….would LOVE a copy to review!
I would love to have a copy. It would make my day! :)
