O.K. This is a little odd, but I'm not complaining -- I'm absolutely THRILLED!
Several times over the last few weeks I've thought about reading GODMOTHER by Carolyn Turgeon. It sounds like a fun, uplifting story that would be perfect for me right now. I don't have a copy, so I was debating whether to buy it or borrow it. I've even had it in my hands at the bookstore more than once only to put it aside to buy books for the kids. I told myself that I have plenty to read and to concentrate on what I have. Well, the Fates had other plans for me because, lo and behold, an ARC of GODMOTHER showed up in my mailbox the other day. I think it's funny to not only receive an ARC from a publisher 6 months after the book has been released but also right at the time I was wishing I could read it . . . and, the book is about a fairy godmother!
So, I'm thanking my lucky stars, my mysterious fairy godmother, and most especially Random House's Read It Forward Program for this perfectly timed delivery of my heart's desire!

Awesome! Looks like a great read :) Love the cover too, beautiful!
It looks like Random House decided to be a book fairy godmother to quite a few people, I got this book yesterday too!
Right on! LOVE when that happens!
I have this one waiting for me on the shelf...I've heard it's really good! Now to find time to read it...did they send you that too? Ha!

This book magically appeared at my house yesterday too!
Amy - No, no extra time (or money) was included with this gift. I'm hoping it's enchanted and when I sit down to read, time will just stand still as long as I have the book open! ;) G.
The magic really spread as I received a copy of Godmother also!
This one has been on my list for a while. I brought it hope from the library, but never got to read it --sounds good!
looks like you were meant to read this one, lol. What a cool cover!
Oh, what an awesome coincidence! I hope you really enjoy the book. I look forward to reading your review.
It looks like the magic of "the secret" worked for you! Have you read "the secret" ?
I love when unexpected ARCs come! It's always such a surprise and a treat!
Lucky you Gwendolyn! I didn't request this book when it came out but I sure wish I had because after I saw some reviews of it I had really wanted to read it. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
I love when things like this happen - such synchronicity!
You must have a fairy godmother who likes you!
It's so nice when something like this happens.
Happy reading!

I just happened to see this book at barnes and noble recently and added it to my WL. It looks so good!
I have this book (haven't read it yet).
I thought it sounded familiar so I went and checked my shelf.
