I am happy to announce that I will be bringing you multiple giveaways over the next year sponsored by Chicken Soup for the Soul. I love Chicken Soup for the Soul books and think they are perfect for that moment when you need a little pick-me up!
For those of you not familiar with Chicken Soup for the Soul books they are a compilation of short stories to warm your heart. Each book is usually categorized to a specific demographic which is easy to decipher from the book subtitle. This is great because no one wants to read a bunch of short stories and only be able to relate to a few. So if you haven't taken the time to read a Chicken Soup for the Soul Book now then go out and get one. I can pretty much guarentee that they have something available for everyone!
For my first review and giveaway I have "Tough Times, Tough People." I am sure that almost everyone can relate to this topic with the economy the way it is. "Tough Times, Tough People" is broken down into 11 chapters. You will find interesting ideas on how other people find ways around money issues and how they have come to look at their problems as blessings. Not only does this book cover financial difficulties, but it also share stories about peoples courage in other personal crisis such as illness. So if you are going through some tough times of your own give "Chicken Soup for the Soul" a chance and you may just find the inspiration you need to move on!

Two lucky readers will receive their very own copy of "Chicken Soup for the Soul Tough Times, Tough People"

chicken soup books are amazing and are very insightful and this subject pertains to not just one or two these days- it pertains to the majority of Americans
I've read Power Moms and I think Tough Times, Tough People is something I shouldn't let go of. I always love Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

I love the Chicken Soup series. We've been having a tough year and sometimes I need to take a step back and find some inspiration to keep pushing through.
I would like this because of the inspriration these books give me. I lost my job and started college at 44 years of age. Sometimes the pressure can get to me. Thank you
The Chicken Soup books have always encouraged me, and with a child that has a serious illness and my own personal issues, well I can always use some encouragement! thanks!
the company my husband worked for for 10 years went out of business recently and he had to get another job, one that paid a lot less. it's been difficult but we're surviving and still happy! we read to each other at night, i'd love to have this on the night stand to share with him!
With almost everyone I know having a tough year, this book would be a great inspiration.

My husband was already laid off once this year and it looks like he will be again very soon. It would be nice to read some encouraging stories.
I subscribe.
The details are a little to private to post in a public forum. I was recently diagnosed with a medical condition. The treatment will cost about $15,000, but my insurance won't cover it.
