Book review and Giveaway

Next week, April 2nd, the 20th novel in Jennifer Chiaverini's The Elm Creek Quilts series will be released in softcover. The good folks at Plume (member of Penguin Group) sent me a copy to review and an extra to giveaway.


Jennifer Chiaverini's  "The Giving Quilt"  reacquaints us with familiar characters and introduces a few new ones, quilters gather to spend a week at Elm Creek Manor for a very special purpose. This is not your average quilt retreat, during their stay at the historical manor, the participants enjoy the many amenities of the vast property, learn new skills and form new friendships, but it is not all about what they are gaining...it is about giving,  you see, the quilts they create this week are to be donated to Project Linus.
While you won't find mystery and intrigue.....no page turning drama, many readers may relate to the story. Much of the book takes place far from Elm Creek Manor, chronicling the lives of 5 women, who each have their own reason for attending the retreat, we are taken to their home towns, where we are witness to their everyday life, struggles and triumphs.

Here is your chance to win a copy of The Giving Quilt along with 3 Elm Creek Quilt lapel pins. Entering is simple, just leave a comment in this post, answering the question below.

Are you a fan of the Elm Creek Quilt series? If so, which is your favourite or least favourite of the books....if you have not yet read any of them, (what are you waiting for?) would you start back at the beginning or jump in with the current novel?
