February Archives - KS Mitchell

You GUYS! If you follow me at all, you know I’m a huge admirer of Madeleine L’Engle, both as an author and a person. She’s become a bit of a spiritual guide for me as I pursue my own writing journey. I count 30 books by her on my bookshelf. That’s not obsessive, right…?

I digress. Let’s get to the GIVEAWAYS! Yes, that’s plural. I’m doing a giveaway every week this month in celebration of my love for L’Engle’s writing.

Tomorrow, February 6th, Becoming Madeleine, drops. I’m really looking forward to this biography on Madeleine written by two of her granddaughters, Charlotte Jones Voiklis and Léna Roy. It’s written for a middle grade audience, so right up my alley as a writer of middle grade fiction, but I think it will be a great read for any age.

My copy will be arriving soon, but what about yours? Time for a giveaway! Enter below to win your own copy of Becoming Madeleine.

Tell me what your favorite Madeleine L’Engle book is and why!

The giveaway starts today and will end Sunday, February 11th.

And, stay tuned for more Madeleine themed giveaways this month. Follow me on social media to find out more next week!

Good luck!

**Please note: all entrants must live in the continental U.S. to receive a hard copy or be willing to accept an ebook (Kindle) edition in place of a hard copy if at an international address.**

Oh February! After a long, cold January, February’s reds, pinks and purples are welcome. Some people don’t enjoy the hype around Valentine’s Day, but I’ve always had a special place in my heart for this day for several reasons. It’s the birthday of two awesome people in my life, one I’m married to, and the other who’s tagged along since I was three and she was born. It’s also a great way to share your love with those who mean the most to you. This February, I get to add one more reason to celebrate. An awesome Valentine’s Day giveaway!

Wal-Mart, Ghirardelli Chocolate and Josh Cellars Wine are partnering to give away two $75 American Express cards. Want to win? There are two easy ways to enter the giveaway. Comment on the blog post below, and earn extra entries through following these companies and me on social media. You’ll have until February 12th to comment and follow for entries through the blog.

Let’s have a little fun with the second gift card. How about a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt to get you ready for the day? First, follow me (@KSMitch17) on Instagram and Twitter. Beginning Friday, February 5th, I’ll post a Valentine’s Day prompt from my accounts. Respond with your answer and you’ll earn an entry towards the second gift card.
