It's February and since it's February and because I kinda felt like it, I'm hosting another giveaway. I luuuurve this giveaway and firmly believe that you should all agree that I have amazing taste. 'Cuz it's true.
Up for the giving is a beautiful 3-piece wine set, hand-painted by the lovely Chelsey Hill from Pretty My Drink. This set is worth $60. Exact description is taken from her Etsy shop:
This 3 pc. set includes a stunning wine decanter with a tear drop structure and two matching stemless wine glasses. Each item includes my popular design that contains two black birds resting on a cherry blossom, so in love. The branches wind their way around each item and are painted in a shimmery copper color that glistens in the light. The wine decanter has a hole sculpted in the center of the glass that nicely compliments the design. This set makes the perfect gift for a special couple!
More of my work can be found here: http://www.prettymydrink.etsy.com
The paint is non-toxic and has been heat set for durability. Although the paint is dishwasher safe when placed on the top rack, I recommend hand washing to help preserve their beauty
And of course, the pics because all of us are concerned with looks, right??

Gosh, these are beautiful! Thank you :) one of my favorite characters is Lennie from The Sky is Everywhere. I like her because she seems more real to me than a lot of characters. She has her flaws and makes mistakes, but is good at heart.

One of my favourite characters is Charles ("Pa") Ingalls in the Little House series of books because he has a very rare, very appealing blend of idealism and practicality.

It's hard for me to pick an absolute favorite character because I have so many, but one of my favorites is Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series. She's so unique, quirky, fun, loyal, brave, and a good friend even when others may make fun of her for it, she's proud to be who she is.
P.S. The HP series is one that I absolutely *must* eat while reading. For example, in HP and the Half Blood Prince, I have to eat dried pineapple while reading it because they talk about a character eating it, and it always ends up making me hungry for it, so I keep it on hand for when the craving strikes ;)

I love Luna Lovegood! She's so delightfully quirky.
I love Death from the Disc world series.He is actually very funny. Not at all what you would expect.

I'd have to say James Patterson's Alex Cross. He's a tough guy with a soft spot for his kids and his grandma! I love a good story where the guy is a tough guy at work, and a softy at home!

Ashamed to say I have never picked up a James Patterson novel. My daughter reads his YA. I need to put him in my TBR pile.
I love Sherlock Holmes and The Mad Hatter. Holmes for his amazing ability of deduction and The Mad Hatter for his overall craziness.

I like Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. He does what's right even when it is not the easiest thing.

My favorite book character is Skeeter from The Help :D I just love her audacity and her bravery. Yes the other ladies in the book were also brave but maybe its just cause I keep picturing Emma Stone every time that I read the book that I love her more lol.

My favorite character would have to be from a book I recently just finished reading. It's Tibby from Sisterhood Everlasting. She is my favorite character because her death brings back the 3 other friends that she was close with and makes them remember what life is all about and how if you have each other no matter where each one lives they will be there for you.

My favorite book character is probably Bradley Chalkers from "There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom."
He's just a boy who has to repeat the fifth grade because he doesn't do his work. He really is smart, but just doesn't learn the way others do, and has a hard time.
It's a children's book, so it's a quick read, and I definitely recommend it to everyone! :)

My favorite book character is Janie Crawford from Their Eyes are Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Janie is a very strong woman that is able to withstand any difficulties that life has to offer. Thank you for the introduction to their shop and have a blessed day.

Thanks for loving me, Monique! I read that book in college. I loved it!!
My favorite? Do you know how hard that is to choose? I guess this week it is Katniss from the Hunger Games. ambrerose at[aol]dot[com]
I know it's a tween book and I wish I had read it when I was 12/13 years old, but Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli has to be one of my favourite characters by far! She's just such a free spirit and doesn't care what anyone thinks about her spirituality and hippie-ish ways. The character is so passionate about living! She's adorable, awe-inspiring.
