My dear book friend Sheila is celebrating her One Year Anniversary for hosting the beloved and popular "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?" meme! Happy Anniversary, Sheila!!!
This is one of my favorite meme's and you can find it at Book Journey http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/. It's a weekly gathering to see who's reading what in the book review blog world!
What I'm Reading Now:

SECOND:

I was honored to be asked to review Jerry B. Jenkins new book, The Brotherhood last week and hosted a giveaway for a free copy of this incredible book! The contest ended last night, and I used Random.org to pick a winner.
And the Winner is:
