Dear Reader,
There'll be plenty of chances to win special giveaways this month at the book club.
This week's first giveaway is just in time for the holidays and it's a personal favorite of mine, Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends From Scratch Cookbook. Recipes from Amish and Mennonite cooks who celebrate the value of skipping the factory-made shortcuts and cooking from scratch instead. Over 270 recipes are organized into traditional categories from main dishes and sides, to desserts and snacks, along with kitchen tips and stories about growing up in an Amish kitchen.
Five lucky winners will receive Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends From Scratch Cookbook and a copy of her brand new novel, The Blended Quilt written with her daughter-in-law, Jean Brunstetter.

Book club readers enjoyed the top three winning entries in this year's Write a DearReader Contest as much as I did.
From my inbox:.
"Dear Suzanne, I have just read the 3rd place winner's entry [Chassidy Coon]. Boy, it was powerful. I literally got goosebumps when I read it. I want to thank you for sharing, and thank Chassidy for sharing that lesson." -- Brenda G.
"I so enjoyed Erin Manning's [2nd place] story. What a wonderful way to add joy to two lives!" -- Teresa N.

VIXEN (Fiction) by Rebecca Zanetti
Have you ever had a great plan that totally exploded on you? Me too. Tabi Rusko is a wild immortal alone in the world, who mates a human male to help him and because he intrigues her. However, Evan O'Connell as a human was dangerous, and as an immortal is downright deadly--and rather determined to take matters into his own, capable, very sexy hands. Tabi has definitely taken on more than she's expected, and I hope you enjoy her adventures!
