******GIVEAWAY!!******

A highly entertaining read to take on vacation or to relax on your deck with, cool drink in hand!

One lucky winner, USA or Canada, will receive a copy of Andrea's book 

"Reflections of a Successful Wallflower." 

Here's what others have been saying about Reflections of a 

Successful Wallflower:  

"When I heard Andrea had a book coming out, I thought it would be fun to read how she pulled off some of the biggest events in the World, but the book is so much more..Yes, your heart will race when you hear how she got herself in and out of some of the BIGGEST events across the planet...."~T. Seigel

"Reading Andrea Michaels' REFLECTIONS OF A SUCCESSFUL WALLFLOWER is one of those ways to spend a thoroughly relaxing evening. It is short, sweet, entertaining, and informative."~ Grady Harp

"Wow! This was such a fabulous read. Even if you are not in the Events industry, you will find Andrea's life stories/experiences inspiring. Her humor, determination, and love of life all come through so clearly in this book. Managing these corporate events is no easy task (I know first-hand) but Andrea's stories take it to a whole other level. She is a true professional and legend in the business. I highly suggest you read this book if you have any interest in learning how to navigate and be successful in this industry and in life!" ~BLove1365

"I absolutely love Andrea's conversational style and case and point structure. Each story/event experience is told with purpose, direction and clarity. While reading you never feel drowned in industry jargon or complex theories, rather, you feel comfortable in Andrea's language and at ease with her persona.  This book is real, honest and enjoyable right to the last page. A fantastic book for industry professionals and a must-read for business owners and entrepreneurs of all walks of life.  Bravo Andrea! I look forward to re-reading your book as it was a truly inspiring experience." 

~Julie Danaylov, A2D2 Inc 

"Reflections of a Successful Wallflower has invaluable advice for the event planner, the business person and the average reader alike because most of what she shares can be transferred to our daily lives.  She is inspirational, humble, smart and funny and writes an incredible memoir/guide that will have you laughing and shaking your head in disbelief."~ Shirley @ My Bookshelf

Whatcha Reading? and W...W...W...Wednesdays

Whatcha Reading Wednesdays

1. Share what you are currently reading or planning to start soon.

Nothing has changed, really, since the It's Monday, What are you reading? meme.  Still bookmarked and steadily making progress, I am reading At Home in Mitford.  Bookclub meets on the 17th so I simply must give this book some priority.  It is a reread.  A pleasant and warm story of a small town rector and the people who make the village their home.  Father Tim is a gardener too, which makes him all that more likeable to me.  Set in the most picturesque village in a valley, with humour, love, friendship and mystery, At Home in Mitford makes for a welcome diversion from the stresses of the day.

2. Link back to Busy Moms Who Love To Read.

 

 

To play along just answer the following 3 questions:

1.  What are you currently reading?  Well, you could look above but if you'd rather not I'll just tell you again.  I'm reading At Home in Mitford with savour and gratitude for the warmth of small towns and the lives therein that can become intertwined in the most well-meaning of ways.

2.  What did you recently finish reading?  I read Utopia Texas by Betty Byrd.  In fact, Ms. Byrd and I are hosting a giveaway of her novel.  The contest closes March 14 at midnight MST.

Also read in the last week:  Engage, Commit, Grow by Larry Smith.  I posted reviews for Utopia Texas, Engage, Commit, Grow and Fires...Accidental or Arson?

3.  What do you think you'll read next?  I had a feeling this was going to be a week of fewer accomplishments reading-wise.  After finishing At Home in Mitford, I would love to finish Nana: the Four Crystals and fit in another on my TBR list.  We'll see what time allows.

How is your week going?  Is it busy or are you able to put things aside, put your feet up and lose yourself in a good book?  Please take a moment to comment below and/or leave a link to your W...W...W... Wednesday post.  I'd like to see what's being read out there!  And remember to link with Should Be Reading.
