When I saw the post that someone saw it in their local christian book store, I just had to check to see if it was at mine and it was. I bought 4 copies - all that they had - and had them check the other stores in the area for more. I need 10 total for our church book club. Since I got it now we are going to read this one for our June meeting. Would love to see if we could do the conference call when we meet. We are meeting on the afternoon of June 27. I'm in Indiana so unfortunately not within driving distance. :(<br /><br />I am so giddy about your book. Silly, but I'm looking at the book and thinking "I 'know' her." Well, not really, but you know I feel like I do through your blog.<br /><br />Let me know what you think.<br /><br />kimwhite62@gmail.comKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289704301155972810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-32818718436072984702010-05-27T10:18:22.467-04:002010-05-27T10:18:22.467-04:00Thanks for letting me know it's already there ...Thanks for letting me know it's already there Rina!

I was planning on buying it when it comes out, as I love to read a good story and when you or someone said it was a good "beach read", I thought that sounded great. I just happened to be in our local Family Christian bookstore, and they had your book! Of course I bought it with my 25% off coupon! I'm waiting to read it until we do go to the beach, which is only two weeks away. God bless you.<br />RinaRinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-51376260833001691432010-05-26T22:56:06.363-04:002010-05-26T22:56:06.363-04:00I would love to read your new book.

I'll either give it away and share the love or organize a book club and share in the discussion questions. <br /><br />OH... and since I frequent book stores... I'll definitely be sure to do some creative rearranging!!!<br /><br />Since I'm currently reading "For the Write Reason" (and LOVING IT - thank you)... <br /><br />Who knows what else I'll be inspired to do as I explore this God-given talent called writing?!?!<br /><br /><3 in Christ, <br /><br />Shelly Cantrell<br />http://shellysc.blogspot.com/Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415496284459946323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-64825504576316835902010-05-25T17:51:29.866-04:002010-05-25T17:51:29.866-04:00I thoroughly enjoy your blog and can't wait to...I thoroughly enjoy your blog and can't wait to read The Mailbox! The cover is awesome, by the way.<br /><br />To promote-I would write a review. I've never done that but it should be fun. Post it on my blog and facebook. <br />I would also put a review on one of the book seller sites. Then I would pass it along to my Bible Study girls.

I've felt the tug of God on my heart to write, but thought the call would manifest many years down the road. All of a sudden the three books starting taking shape at the same time I found out about the 2010 She Speaks convention taking place in a few weeks. I signed up!! <br /><br />So excited!! I love how God brings things together and it's usually in a way that we could NEVER imagine (: Thank you so much for your post and I will be happy to promote your book! Can't wait to read it and much success to you (:<br /><br />Michele<br />XOXOThe homesteadingcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699061699469248663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-25195325101596013262010-05-25T15:48:51.910-04:002010-05-25T15:48:51.910-04:00Hi Marybeth!

(I won't say what those things are since I don't want to spoil parts of the book where these things play into the storyline.)<br /><br />You definitely have me wanting to visit the Kindred Spirit and write a letter of my own. What a wonderful spot for hopeless romantics like me! :)<br /><br />The Mailbox was an easy read that I couldn't put down. Your twist at the end was awesome--I didn't see it coming. Truly I didn't. Good stuff!<br /><br />Great book, Marybeth! In case your wondering, I received an advanced copy through MomLogic.<br /><br />Prayers and blessings,<br />Rebecca<br /><br />p.s. Oh, and is Book Number Two going to be tied to The Mailbox? It's definitely a stand alone novel as it is, but I would love to continue the journey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438968579173979217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-53747388638664344492010-05-25T13:24:41.902-04:002010-05-25T13:24:41.902-04:00I will post a review of the book on my blog and al...I will post a review of the book on my blog and also recommend it and pass it on to my friends.<br /><br />pepsi324[at]yahoo[dot]comcollettakayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242365478904701504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-5192072160149192452010-05-25T13:06:33.363-04:002010-05-25T13:06:33.363-04:00I've recommended it to our book club and will ...I've recommended it to our book club and will review it on our blog after I get to read it.

Lindsey (the main character) begins the book at 15 and goes through her life to age 34 when the main action takes place, so there's something for almost every age through the course of her journey. My teen daughter says she LOVED it so I think college age would too.<br /><br />It's also good for senior citizens, as Minerva and LaRae (Campbell's mother and her best friend) are quite the characters and have some of the funnier moments in the book. If you are associated with a senior center or retirement home, those would be good places to share it. <br /><br />Love y'all's creativity!Marybeth Whalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138498344723215611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-36463591363470436862010-05-25T12:48:31.833-04:002010-05-25T12:48:31.833-04:00I will post it on my facebook as "favorite Bo...I will post it on my facebook as "favorite Books" and tell my college and roommates friends to read it!
