A Chatty Check-in Ramble, plus a GIVEAWAY {closed}

[@geex2]

Rosamunde Pilcher is underrated. September is great!

[@booksimnotreading]

Gina, so lovely to see you - so sorry I am late to seeing this! I am glad you enjoyed the Advent calendar! I am still getting on once in awhile to play a game. 💛

[@jstokes592]

Rosamunde Pilcher one of my favorites! I would love to have it. Thank you for your channel!

[@starlasell5698]

You're so sweet to do a giveaway. I hope it goes to someone who will love it! I own the exact copy, however, unsigned. It was a treasure find at our library store. Exciting that you got a signed copy. 😊

[@MsReadsAlot]

Oh my gosh! So true! I have trouble making videos where my husband can hear. I am usually upstairs with the door to my office closed! I also don’t like leaving voxer messages in front of him 🤷‍♀️

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I would love to read "September"! Thanks for doing a giveaway. Happy New Year!

[@MichelleElsten]

Hi Gina, I haven’t read Rosamund Pilcher before and am definitely putting her on my TBR list. I can totally relate to your plight of having a husband at home all the time. My husband retired a few years ago and it has been quite the adjustment 😅

[@Movingthebookmark]

Yay giveaway! Heres my entry 😊 Happy Reading, Gina!

[@katherinejourdan9166]

I would enjoy reading "September" very much. It is kind of you to give a book away. You have gotten me interested in Rosamund Pilcher as well as Miss Read. I just finished "Christmas in Fairacre" with 3 wonderful stories. I need to try and make Bread Milk! it sounds so cozy for a cold night. Good wishes for the new kitten. Take care and Happy New Year.

[@blessyourmemory]

I have never heard of digital Christmas Advent Calendars before. Thank you for sharing. I bought the book September a couple months ago. I was waiting to read it after the holidays. You have encouraged me to bring it out and put it on my nightstand. Thank you.

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

The advent was so much fun!

[@HannahsBooks]

I read Winter Solstice on your recommendation and loved it-and I would love to receive the copy of September. Totally with you about hating to film when people can hear me!

[@kamicastillo1451]

❤ Rosamunde Pilcher ❤

[@breezyannreads]

Hi Gina, I would love to add September to my collection if I were to win the giveaway. You are so kind to share your extra copy! That show looked amazing, there is nothing like the energy of live music.

[@lisac1619]

Hi Gina. September is such a lovely story. You're lucky to have the signed edition. I'm currently reading Persuasion, I dont know why I've never read this one before!

[@Ashley-xi9fq]

I would love this copy! I’ve read the Shell Seekers and Winter Solstice, September‘s up on my list next!

[@magicalemmarose]

My best friend used to be subscribed to Jacquie Lawson and I always got her beautiful calendars and cards. I really miss those, I should buy a subscription too!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

It’s wonderful, I highly recommend!

[@patriciapendlbury2603]

It's cause you can't be fully you while you are sincere and inspired lol! I wouldn't want any family members there either

[@cmhailey4290]

Thanks, Gina! I would love to be part of the giveaway. You're the one who got me started on Rosamonde Pilcher! :)

[@greenfairy42]

Yes, a video about what you don't like is very helpful. Obviously I need to know what not to buy, 😂. I just finished 'Shepherds Abiding' and am currently reading 'Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen, Peril at Owl Park' that I absolutely have to finish by the 12th day of Christmas! 😊

[@missstarbuck]

I am currently reading; the seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and so far it's amazing! :D

[@jessicaw1839]

I would love to be in your September giveaway. Thank you for your generosity!

[@amy8458]

Hi Gina, I like Disappointing Book videos. It's good to see both sides. I've barely started a Harlequin Heartwarming novel for Sarah's book club. My genre taste shifted last year away from contemporary with a few exceptions. I'm primarily a cozy reader now either classic, fantasy or historical

[@duffystavern894]

New subscriber! Would love to be added to the giveaway. I’m reading Winter Solstice now but haven’t read September yet. Love Rosamunde Pilcher

[@ameebe21]

I'd love September! I haven't yet tried out Rosamund Pilcher and would love to read something from her! I'm in the US.

[@taraward3167]

I’d like to enter for September! Thank you!

[@WellEditedCo]

Hi Gina! Pretty new to following you and love Rosamunde Pilcher like you do. I’d love a chance to win the book! Thank you.

[@hopefullybooks]

Hi!! I’d love to be a part of the giveaway! I’m reading the Shell Seekers this year 🐚 thanks for the opportunity to enter!

[@jilliang4151]

Hi Gina! I'd love to be entered into the giveaway. :) I've read the Shell Seekers and Winter Solstice recently and loved them both.

[@anenthusiasticreader]

We have some sonos speakers and I'm mildly worried that when they age out, I'm not sure what we'll do. It was an investment and I'm not crazy about the sonos software. Enjoyed this catch-up with you. Good luck with the little kitten.

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Yeah, that’s the problem with all this technology. Our Sonos was still useable but could no longer be updated. I thought the Sonos app was awful too, but the Naim app for streaming is even worse!!

[@spreadbookjoy]

Love a Friday ramble. Adding September to my wish list. Hope the foster-kitten is with you soon! ❤

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

We got the kitten last night. She’s so sweet!

[@nataliaweissfeld7478]

Hi, Gina! I’m interested in the book. I’m in the US ❤ Thank you for the opportunity.

[@JenniferMartin-o7e]

Hi Gena!!! Love watching you!! I would love to receive a free copy of “September”! Have a great weekend and please do more videos!!! Send your hubby to the store!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@glendaslanina9939]

Hi Gina….I love Rosamunde Pilcher’s books. September was my first Pilcher read and still one of my all time favorites. Please enter me in the giveaway. 🐈‍⬛. Thank you.

[@andeeheartsbooks7447]

Will I win again? Thanks for the chance. Good to see your face!

[@cheryldaems2511]

I have read the Shell Seekers 3 times. Haven't read September so be excited to win September.

[@Melanie220]

September actually has a small connection to The Shell Seekers! Penelope's son Noel is in it, though not as a main character.

[@constancecampbell4610]

I would love to be in the giveaway. Thanks so much. PS I am in the US. 🤗

[@spinstercatlady]

The cat bites make it even better haha! Please enter me 😊

[@Goldenhearted01]

Hi Gina! I would love to be a part of the September giveaway. I live in the US. 😊

[@christinaoldham6614]

I just finished a wild ride of a book, Before the Fact by Francis Iles. The Hitchcock movie, Suspicion, is based on it. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved it, although from at first liking and feeling sorry for the heroine I came to actively despise her. So interesting! If you happen to own a copy, I highly, highly recommend! Wish I know someone who's read it, so we could talk about it.

[@TheNovelHoneyShelf-Essie]

I am struggling with recording in an empty house. I need privacy!😂

[@eileennielsen5165]

Yes, please do a video of bks. you didn't like. Don't feel bad; we are big girls and can decide remembering that's your opinion😊 I would feel funny, self conscious if somone were around if I was making a video, so I can understand.🙂 A husband who grocery shops AND cuts down trees??? I already have the same copy of September, so I will pass. Sure is nice of you though! Mailing to Europe is RIDICULOUS!! I haven't mailed anything to England OR Australia in YEARS, and I have friends there.😑 I'm jealous of your signed copy!! I am presently reading Snow And Rose by Emily Winfield Martin. It is A retelling of the Grimms Bros. fairy tale Snow White And Rose Red. Cute, sweet and tender story. The illustrations are to die for! Cottagecore, simple, just delightful! Has a little sketchbook in the back. Lost your e-mail, could you resend?? Take care Gina! I had a bad reading month for Dec. 🤗

[@elizabethshort978]

So very sweet 😍 I would love to win a copy.I'll pm my address if I win.

[@morethanaveragejoe8224]

Hi Ms. Gina!! Please include me in the giveaway! Thanks!!

[@joyceredman2136]

I would like to be entered into the giveaway. I'm in Lutherville-Timonium, MD, USA near Baltimore. Reading Jane at Home by Lucy Worsley.
