The blogworld is an amazing thing. I started this blog a few months ago to keep in closer contact with friends. In the process I have “met” new friends. In the process I have MET new friends! One of the new friends I have met is Jenny Gardiner. She wrote the book “Sleeping with Ward Cleaver”. Since I have a little June in me, I had to read the book. I now admit to a little mommy crush. Not on Ward, but on Jenny. I really enjoyed the book. The fun thing about “Sleeping with Ward Cleaver” is that it doesn’t end with the girl getting the guy. It doesn’t even start with the girl getting the guy. The book starts with Claire married for years with 5 children. Married for years with lots of kids…now that is a story to which I can relate. Now there are tons of other details in the book to which a married mom of children MIGHT also relate…I am unwilling to disclose HOW MANY other details. You will totally understand why when you read this very funny book. Which brings me to the give away…Oh, you don’t have the book? I am giving a copy of the book away. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post. If I am unable to hunt you down through your blogger profile or blog, please leave your email address. I will close the contest in exactly one week. If you can’t wait that long to read “Sleeping with Ward Cleaver”, I got my copy at Barnes & Noble. Jenny also writes a blog, The Debutante Ball with a group of amazing female authors. And as if that wasn’t enough…there is ANOTHER giveaway in a colder part of the country. Go visit Domestic Accident and guess how much longer her front yard will sport a snowbank. Addendum: After a few comments, I realized that I didn’t make it clear that I am not sending you my copy that is dogeared and disfigured from bathwater. Jenny has graciously offered to send you a BRAND NEW ONE! Thanks Jenny…

  1. Holly, I’ve been enjoying your blog and now have double reason to comment. I love finding new authors and this book sounds great!

  2. I want to read this book! And not just because the protagonist of my second novel is a married woman with five kids, either. (I’ve been following Jenny at The Debutante Ball since before the release, wanting to read it.)

    But even if I never win any give-aways ever, I still have my new blogging friends…and good advice from Babatunde.

  3. OK…as a neighbor AND homeschool buddy, does that qualify me for two entries? Plus I’ll save you $$ on shipping ’cause I can swing and pick it up. Pick me! Pick me!

  4. Married with a bunch of kids… I can relate! 😉 I love to read, that sounds like a book I’d like!

  5. Holly! You’re my hero right back! How SWEET of you to do this! I was really happy to happen upon your refreshing and hilarious blog–it felt like kismet, what with our Ward connection and all. And then to find all of these other awesome mom blogs that keep me from getting any writing done–icing on the cake!

    So I was really thrilled that you loved the book—and wow, to spread the word like this– so thoughtful of you!

    I know all of you moms can totally relate to this book, so I can’t wait to send a copy off to whoever wins it!

    Thanks again June 😉
