Winner chosen randomly!

Thank you to everyone who entered and I hope enjoy your new books!!!

Alexandra Lebenthal, who is active on the New York social scene, has written a debut novel about four socialites whose perfect Upper East Side lives get turned upside down when the economic collapse wreaks havoc on their pampered existences.

Her book is called The Recessionistas and we’re giving away FIVE COPIES of this book to 5 lucky readers of The Fashionable Housewife!

In a tale that is ripped from the headlines, a group of powerful New Yorkers suddenly encounter social upheaval, deception, and scandal. Some will find their way out of disaster while others, after making dangerous choices, dig their own graves. This story of expulsion from a modern-day Garden of Eden captures what happens when lives that were only designed to acquire more suddenly face the prospect of a great deal less.

  11. Hi…this summer I have been reading through Robin Carr’s Virgin River series…She writes about life in a small town and creates characters that make you feel like they are your own friends and family…she make you laugh with them cry with them and fall in love…Robin has a way of pulling you in and keeping you interested ….with all the gloom in the news lately …she takes you away to a simpler place where friends help friends no matter what! I am an avid reader of most anything from fiction to self-help,health and wellness books, cooking,crafting,….I get lost in the big books stores. I would rather spend money on books than anything else! I read probably three to four books a month maybe more!

  14. I enjoy reading books of all genres! I probably read about 5 books
    a month. My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbirds.
    Many thanks, Cindi

  31. My favorite book of all time is “Anne of Green Gables” but my grown-up favorite book is “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion!

  33. My new favorite book is “I Will Carry You” by Angie Smith. I’m not much of a reader lately, but I breezed through this one in one sitting.
