    Horray!!!! No social distancing or masks (if I had to wear a mask, I'd be avoiding your blog). The prizes look great!
    I follow via blogger,
    I LOVE mint chocolate ice cream, along with cookies and cream,
    I told a friend, and
    I don't know if this counts, but I reviewed your book on my blog a few weeks ago.

      p.s. Mint chocolate chip is one of my FAVORITE ice cream flavors as well!! (I also really like butterscotch pecan.)
      But wow! It's been a long, long time since I last had ANY flavor of ice cream. It's possible that my taste may have changed just a smidgen of a bit during that time. :D

    3. AnonymousJune 17, 2020

      Yes! Mint chocolate chip is sooo good! I like butterscotch pecan too! (Okay, so I like all ice cream flavors, though chocolate is not a favorite [but I don't pass up ice cream]).🙂

    YAY!!!! A SIGNED copy of your book??!! Well, I would have to be out of my mind not to enter!!!! I follow your blog via both email and blogger, I like chocolate ice cream best (I have a dairy allergy), and I shared the news about the giveaway, and, well, I haven't read The Whispers God Gives yet, so..... I can't do a review ( that's part of the reason why I entered this giveaway). I can't wait to see who wins! ~Caitlyn
