Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop


Hi. Welcome to the Midwinter’s Eve Giveaway Hop. First and foremost, I have to say thank you to Mary from Bookhounds for putting this together. Sit back, relax and prepare to enter multiple giveaways from over 40 authors and bloggers.

For this giveaway, I’m giving away a hardcover copy of Aunt Dimity & the Heart of Gold by Nancy Atherton. This giveaway is US only. Good luck.

In the newest installment of the bestselling Aunt Dimity series, a dreary Christmas leads to hidden treasure and new friendships

It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch--and everyone is sick. Though many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests will leave until morning. There's general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party--until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a ditch.

Matilda "Tilly" Trout--a lost and scatterbrained, middle-aged woman--is mercifully unhurt and invited to stay the night. While she catches her breath, Emma asks her other guests if they would like a tour of the Manor--including an odd room that puzzles her. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately-carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure--including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now--and how did Tilly?

With Aunt Dimity's otherworldly help and Tilly's bewildering store of knowledge, Lori and friends set out to unravel the mystery behind the heart of gold. And, against all odds--and Christmas finally comes to Finch!

  2. I had a boyfriend when I was a teenager who bought me a fox fur coat. I loved that thing so much that I even wore that thing even when it wasn't cold enough.

  5. I've been struggling to comment because it's not always about the thing, but the intent. One of my last gifts from my dad was a knit hat set and scarf. Not the cutest thing, but I know the intent for me to stay warm was pure.

  6. I think perhaps when my oldest son gave me a trophy for being a great mom. He had a haiku he made up engraved on it. It was a very well-thought out and thoughtful gift.

  7. First Christmas with my new husband. Large box from my hubby to me. Opened it up and there was a beautiful black leather swing coat. Butter soft leather. Didn’t know how badly I wanted a leather coat. As a matter of fact, I’d never even thought about owning a leather coat. I burst into tears because I knew then and there I married the one person for me. I still have the coat. I had it re-dyed once. My husband passed away in 2016. Tom, you did good!
