Does she not look like someone you'd love to live next door to?
Quick! What do Barb and Debbie have in common?
Answer: They each have one grandchild. A boy. Named Cameron!
I've been a fan forever. Her books are comforting. I've read everything she's ever written and one of my all time favorites is her Cedar Cove series. I've read the six book series twice so I'm OK with clearing a little space on my bookshelves by offering this set as a giveaway.
Here are the six books in the set:
16 Lighthouse Road
204 Rosewood Lane
311 Pelican Court
44 Cranberry Point
50 Harbor Street
6 Ranier Drive
Note the first number in the street addresses. Yeah. I was into the fourth book before I caught on. LOL
This drawing is for one prize. Whoever wins this giveaway will receive the entire six book set.
Here are some cool links.
You can visit Debbie's official web site here.
You can read her personal blog here.
And you can read all about the Cedar Cove series here.
If you'd like to enter to win this set, please leave a comment. Please be sure I can contact you through your comment.
I'll close comments (and entries) Friday evening at 8 p.m. Depending on the response, I'm pretty sure I won't be writing each entry on a little slip of paper and then cutting and folding each one and dumping it into my pasta bowl. LOL
I'll use this handy dandy random number generator to draw one winner.
Good luck!

Oh how I need something new to read!
?? - I'm new to blogging, how'd you get the neat signature of your name at the end of each post?
Aunt Barb,
What a great idea! And, don't feel bad; it took me a minute to figure out the "first number" thing even once you'd pointed it out.
Hope all is going well. Love you!
Les
I have been stalking for a while now, and I LOVE to read. I got married a couple of months ago, so I enjoyed reading about the preparations for your daughter's wedding!
What a fun giveaway! I've just started reading Debbie Macomber. I started with her books, "The Shop on Blossom Street" and "A Good Yarn". What a lovely writer she is!
Thanks for your generosity!
I'm not entering your give-away - I already have all of these books and love them. But did you know that #7 is coming out in September?
Well, sure...I'll bite! I've never read any of Debbie's books, and I'm always looking for new authors.
Barb, you're the one who turned me on to Dorothea Benton Frank. I think I've read most everything by her now! What enjoyable reads!
I have been reading your blog for awhile. You inspire me ..

Another giveaway?! These are so much fun! I've love to win these.
Thanks!
Hugs!

WOW! What a giveaway! These sound wonderful and I am always up for a new read!!
Especially now since I've scheduled personal reading time into my summer schedule!! :-)
I can't believe you are going to part with those...read twice are "keepers" for me!!
I've got her "Country Brides" in my TBR pile...it is a reprint from 1990 which burns me just a tad as they made it look like a "new" book with a new cover and all...it's really a twofer as it is two stories!
Concerning your comment back at my place...books are usually way better than movies aren't they??
:)
Ooo, let me put my name in the pot! My mom has read several of Debbie Macomber's books in the last month, though none of those -- she'd love to have these, I'm sure.
Oooh I would love to be entered in to your draw Barb. I love Debbie Macomber, but I've only read her Blossom street novels (want to get the 3rd one soon), and a couple of Christmas ones she's done. This series is something on my 'to read' list :-)
you can reach me at
www.deniseschulz.com/blog
or email: denise@deniseschulz.com
Have a fabulous day.
((((Hugs))))
Can you believe I've not read one of these books. Yes please enter me (as long as Cdn okay). Fantastic!!
Laura
Go ahead and enter me in the drawing, Barb. My sister Sue is a big Debbie Macomber fan and I'll pass them on to her if I win.
Have a great Monday! :-)
Love and hugs,
Diane
I would love to read a book of hers...please put me in the drawing..
I dont get the number code thing..must be dumb..
Thank you for the receipe cards

Enter me please :0)
I've read the first one of the series, but didn't realize it was a series. Now if I don't win I'll have to try and track them down...
Oooh - I love a contest! You are too generous!
Thank you!!
Oh, I most definitely want to be entered for this one!
Once again, I'm aiming for that elusive pot...
Throw my name in there, Barb! :0)
What a great giveaway! I am always looking for a great new author, & if you recommend them, they must be good. Please enter me ~ Thanks!
I've read all of these, so I will pass my chance on to someone else. Debbie Macomber is one of my special favorite authors.
I'm on the hold list for her newest in the Blossom Street series..
:)
Okay, I'm a glutton for punishment - another prize not to win! But maybe my luck will change this time. I'm always up for a new series. I'm rereading all of Earlene Fowler right now and I can't believe how much I can forget! I just love her - have you read her? Not Christian fiction per se, but she is a Christian. Great mysteries.
Yes, put my name in the hat -- er, bowl! I've read just a couple of Debbie's books, but have so enjoyed them. Gotta go look at the number thing again -- I'm a little slow.
maybe one day soon my give aways will require a number generator!
;)
I would love a new author to read - I've never read Debbie before. Of course, I don't usually win contests, so I will look for them at the library too.
I like your number idea - I'm sure it will take ALOT less of your time - time you could be spending making sweet things for your new grandbaby!
The FIRST number! NOW I get it! (I know, if all else fails, re-read the directions).
Fun giveaway, Barb! I've never read anything by Debbie Macomber, but I'm always on the lookout for good reads and new-to-me authors.
And what a wonderful way to purge your bookshelves! Thanks for a chance to win.
Great way to id a series!!!! Very clever!!!!
Please include me in the giveaway.
love, love, LOVE Debbie Macomber's books! I've only read (most of) the "Blossom Street" series...wonderful!
Please add me (and my number, therefore) to the drawing! :D
Hugs to you!
beck
WOW...I didn't know Debbie Macomber was a Christian. I have been reading her books for years. However, I haven't read any of the ones in the giveaway! I'd love to enter. Thanks. Jill (buanasue@yahoo.com)
I really like Debbie's books. I've only read the knitting ones, but I'm sure I'd love the rest!
Please add me to the list! I have never read any of her books!
Sweet blessings!
Love,
Renee
Please include me in the drawing. I don't think I've ever heard of her before. I'd love a new read!
Oh, I love her books and I think I would love to win 6 of them even more!
Please enter me in the drawing. I love "series" books! I truly enjoy your blog.
I also love Debbie Macomber's books, but I've never read this series. I would like to enter
your contest. I really enjoy reading your blog!

I too, would love some new summer reads!!! I have not read any of her books and would love to try a new author. Thanks so much!
swanktj@yahoo.com
Barb - as an avid reader, I would love to receive this set! I haven't read anything by this author yet, but am anxious to - by your description!
Thanks for the opportunity to explore a new author!
Well, you know you don't have to ask me twice if I want to enter. Please, please!
Well, count me in. I can always use another good book series.
Cool! Just in time for vacation, too!! I'm always looking for good summer reading material. Thanks for the tip.
I know I just won a book but I WANT THOSE! She's one of my mom's very favorites and I would score MAJOR favorite* daughter points if I got that set!
* you'd think I'd be a shoe-in, since I'm the only daughter, but apparently I have to work for it.
I am in....... but only because you said I could be! I think these would cost a little more to post! (I am still grinning after our chat!)
I love Debbie Macomber! I have read 2 of the knitting books series, and would love to read this one!!!
SHe is my all time favorite author. Because of one her books, I am going to a knitting class!
Way cool!
I know you are a prayer warrior, would you mind praying for all of us today in the China adoption process? thanks

I love Debbie's books but have yet to pick up this series. It is on my TBR list. Sign me up! Thanks.

this is a great idea!
I'd love to win another giveaway from you! :-) I received the recipe cards this weekend, and left them all wrapped up in the pretty bow just admiring them for a few hours! Then I finally unwrapped them and admired them some more. That was such a neat idea for a wedding favor!
I love Debbie Macomber. Great giveaway idea!
OH, boy 57 reponses. I'm thinking I don't stand a chance. If I change my name, put on a nose, moustache and glasses -- would you be able to tell it's me if I enter again? (teehee)
I would love to be entered. I am always looking for a new and wonderful author. I figure if I make your recipes and love them then I'm gonna like your authors too!
you are the Best Barb!! you are always thinking of others,I think you would make a wonderful next door neighbor!!(hugs from the Island)have an awesome evening :0)
I have never read any of her books, but I have heard wonderful things about her. Please count me in! I am giving away a book this week, so feel free to come comment on my post as well!
I would love to have that set of books! I just got thru reading her two books about knitters, they were great.
Oh I love her books but havent read this series :) Pick me pick me! xoxo melzie
I'm desperate for a new good read...glad to join the contest. Thanks for the new author idea even if I don't win. Leanne
Well, I don't read much fiction, but this series sounds interesting...
I'm not trying to cheat, really I'm not! I just wanted to say that I looked them up at my handy dandy library, and if you don't pick me, I'll be trying them out that way.
Perfect timing for Aaron and Mandy's move! Can't wait.
I've always wanted to read her books. Please count me in. I have a monthly give-away at my place called Jill's Book Bag. I'd love to have you stop by sometime.
I love to read & I esp. love to read series. Thanks for the give-away!
I love to read! Thanks!

Would love some good summertime reads!
Wow, what a fantastic set of books! I'm ashamed to say, I've never read her although I've heard this author praised before. So count me in!
These sound fantastic!
Count me in!
More good stuff to give-a-way uh? I'm in. Thanks!!!!
Barb,
I think I got the password issue straightened out so now I can leave comments again! Count me in on the book give-a-way. I have never read any of her books, but my best friend, who is also an avid reader, has recommended her to me many times. What a great way to get started enjoying her books. On a serendipitous note, tonight I brought home one of her books from my mother-in-law's house. She passed away unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago and we are now going through the last few boxes and books and I chose one of Debbie Macomber's books to bring home. Wow! I am thinking I should definitely read her books! Thanks for the give-a-way, I hope I win!
Tammy
I love Debbie Macomber. I just read This Matter of Marriage and Susannah's Garden.
I would love to win the others.
Thanks,
Julie

I LOVE Debbie Macomber, and I must admit that I've read the first few books in this series, but to have the chance to read them all one right after the other would be FANTASTIC!!! Please enter me in the drawing!
hi, very sweet of you to give them away. kathy.kjbear@gmail.com
Oh my goodness I love Debbie's books. I also love your website. I ran across it a couple of months ago and I can't wait to get to it when I have a chance to read. Thanks for your wonderful writings.

Don't enter my name, but I just had to leave a comment :) You're SOOOO sweet to do this Barb! What a wonderfully generous soul you are :)
And whoever is going to win these is one lucky reader! I love Debbie Macomber and these and the Blossom Street books are my favorites by her. I read a lot of her stuff, and even though I haven't finished this series (I'm on 50 Harbor Street), I can get them at the library, so please don't stick my name in. But I know whoever wins is going to be so happy :)
Have a wonderful day Barb :)
I enjoy reading so I might as well throw my name into the hat as well :) I'm bound to win one of your contests one of these days! Right? :)
Please add my name - I'm a big Debbie Macomber fan! Love your blog, by the way.
Oh my word! I'm number 108. I just read her books on the yarn shop and Susannah's Garden - loved them. I had the books you are giving away in my hands at the library the other day and put them back because I had too many other books in my hand. If I don't win, I'll go check them out. They sound great.
Throw me in the hopper, as well. I'm so tired of parenting books. I need something just for me!!!
I'd love this!! and so would my mom! :) I'd share...:)
Wow, new books to read by the fire this winter here in Upstate New York -- add me to the list. I come by your site frequently and love to read your posts. I have a friend who has two boys with Juv. Diabetes and they're doing great. They both wear pumps and are as active as they can be. You can reach me at jo_annvan@hotmail.com. I don't have an active blog site but I do have a Xanga site. Can't quite figure out this "blog" thing -- usually in a hurry to get somewhere when I decide to look into it.
I've loved Debbie since her first novel came out...I would love to have a set of these:-)

I'm so glad I checked in on your blog today, Debbie Macomber is one of my favorite authors.

Hi Barb,
I've been on vacation and I'm glad to get back to reading your blog.
I've read many of Debbie's books, but none of the ones you're giving away.
I don't have a blog, but you can contact me at: RJBmom7@aol.com
Very sweet of you to do Barb! Someone will really enjoy reading those!
Hmmmmm. I wish I had thought of this when I was clearing out my bookcases....it is definitely worth keeping in mind the next time I am inspired to declutter ;)
Oh, I was just wondering what to read next. Please enter me!

I love Debbie Macomber's books, especially the knitting ones. I also liked the one about the two friends whose lives were described by journal entries, letters, newspaper articles & such but I can't for the life of me remember the book title.
Anyway, I'm in.
Okay...I'm so not a fan of Christian fiction. Are these really that good? The titles are incredibly charming.
This would be great for summer reading... Thanks for doing a fun giveaway!!

I just discovered Debbie Macomber 2 weeks ago! I read A Good Yarn and am waiting for The Shop on Blossom Street to come in to my library. I just started Thursdays at Eight last night. Even if I don't win, I'm so glad I came across this post so I can look for this series.

I am a stay-at-home Mother of five and do not get to do much reading. Last week I just randomly picked up 74 Seaside Avenue while at the grocery store because it was on the bestsellers list. It laid around the house for a few days before I even started it. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down! It is such a grest book! I was left hanging though and I am looking everywhere for the rest of the books. What a great escape these books are for me. I hope I win!!!!!!!!
