Looks like we all survived the hectic holidays and hopefully the horrendous weather issues that have swept madly across the country not once but several times. Yikes, gives that “interesting times” a whole new twist. Anyway I hope you are all snug and safe at home and ready to enjoy another day of fun focused on books!

Our theme this month is new starts and second chances. Of course we all know the time honored notion that a couple must struggle and work hard to win their Happily Ever After, so this theme takes that up a notch to feature books where either a couple comes back to try it again or after some terrible trauma one or both characters finally finds love and happiness. Get out the hankies but also trust that the end will be happy!!

We’re doing a new game or contest for our big drawing this time. Sabrina, my ‘partner in crime’ here is in charge of that but here is what she has to say about it.  Anyway grab a cup of hot something–Baby, it’s cold outside!!–and bundle up in a blankie and enjoy with us! And make sure you have your eagle eyes sharp as you read the excerpts because that is where you will find the magic answers!!

January’s Game

Happy New Year. Welcome to the first Book Brew of 2014. Since the theme is second chances, we are playing a game with a second chance to win.  Here are the rules:

• Each participating author was asked to supply us with one question about their book. The answer will be in their posts.
• Around half way through our event, we will post half of the questions.
• Commenters respond with one post that includes answers to questions listed.
• One winner will be selected by random.org from the commenters with all questions answered correctly.
• Prize:  $15.00 certificate to the Coffee Time Store
• Then we do it at the end of the day for a second chance to win.  The second post will contain different questions from the remaining authors who were not included in the first post.
• Prize 2:  $15.00 certificate to the Coffee Time Store
• Good Luck and Have a fun!
