Hi to all my wonderful readers! I have a great giveaway for you! I have 5 copies of Roses by Leila Meacham to give away courtesy of the wonderful Miriam with Hachette Book Group. Thank you Miriam! I’m currently reading this novel and I’m hooked! It’s a great story and those of you who are doing a Chunkster Challenge – this book is a perfect for it! Not to mention this absolutely beautiful cover – it’s just amazing!
Here’s a bit about it from Hachette…
Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the town’s founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been–not just for themselves but for their children, and children’s children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.
Hachette had a live interview with Leila Meacham that you can listen to here and you can become a fan of hers on Facebook here.

I love the cover of this book and have been thinking not so much of doing the chunkster challenge but making the majority of the books I read this year fit in the chunkster mold. Just for fun or because I'm crazy lol

I just talked a little bit about this book in my comment to your "Sunday SDalon" post for today, not realizing it was one of your giveaways! I am thrilled! I adore the cover of this book & I think the story sounds terrific. I love these family sagas, they've got a little bit of everything and you really get to know the characters.
I hope I win a copy.
Thank you!
