Always With a Book

Book Spotlight and Giveaway: Win an iPad 2!!!

I love Josi S. Kilpack‘s Sadie Hoffmiller series and am very excited that the sixth book in the series, Pumpkin Roll, has just been released.  This is a culinary cozy series featuring the quirky and interesting Sadie.She doesn’t fit into your typical investigator roll – which is what makes the books so entertaining. And, the recipes included in the books are pretty sweet too!  

 

Pumpkin Roll takes Sadie on a trip to help babysit her boyfriend’s grandchildren who claim they have a witch living next door! These books will keep you on your toes as Kilpack does a great job keeping you twisting and turning with surprise endings!

 

In conjunction with the release of Pumpkin Roll the author, Josi S. Kilpack, and the publisher, Shadow Mountain, are sponsoring a contest for a new iPad. To enter, leave a comment in the comment section of this blog before November 1, 2011. Winners will be announced and notified November 3rd 2011.

Yes, leaving a comment (with your email address) on this post is really all you have to do to enter.  It’s that simple.  Only 1 comment below per person will be counted toward the contest. For additional ways to enter, go to www.josiskilpack.com

    I was excited to see this one. I really enjoy the Sadie Hofmiller series. I'm also looking forward to the recipes. I'm sure there has to be at least one pumpkin one in there!
