Welcome to my annual 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS!
If you’re new to this – here’s how it works:
1. Each day from December 1 through December 12 I will put up a new giveaway HERE on my website with instructions on how to enter, a detailed description of the prize, and some stuff about the book or series. Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER. MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL
2. Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.
3. Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners USING THE EMAIL USED TO COMMENT ON THIS BLOG – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.
4. Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.
5. ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15. If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it. I live in the middle of nowhere so a trip to the post office is a “thing” for me. 🙂 So make sure you’re checking for winners on the 14th.
6. I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy.

Then you get an email when I POST HERE. I don’t do that often – December is the exception because of the 12 Days and my yearly “Wrap-up” post.

TODAY’S BOOK HIGHLIGHT IS 321!
THREE, TWO, ONE
ONE GIRL
Battered, barefoot, and huddled under a bookstore awning in the pouring rain, Blue only knows one thing. After fifteen months of captivity, finally… she is free.
TWO FRIENDS
Self-made millionaires JD and Ark are not out to save anyone when they stumble upon a wet and shivering girl one early Sunday morning. But when you sell sex for a living and salvation rings your bell… you answer the call.
THREE SOULMATES
After years of searching, love lifts the veil of darkness, and three people—with three very big secrets—find themselves bound together in a relationship that defies the odds.
Or does it?
Love. Lust. Sex.
This trinity might be perfection… but not everything should come in threes.
WARNING: This is a STANDALONE non-traditional M/F/M ROMANCE with a non-traditional ending.
P.S. – While I would NOT call 321 a “holiday book” it does take place at Christmas. 🙂

WHAT IS YOUR ‘BIG WANT’ OUT OF 2023?
I have so many books I want to write so I will be pretty focused on writing. I will also be concentrating on my riding and getting my horses back into work. Other than that, I don’t have a lot planned for 2023. Writing and riding! Maybe do some projects around the farm, but honestly, I did so many farm projects last year I’m kinda over it. I’m crossing my fingers that my goat are pregnant and there will be babies in the spring. 🙂 That would be fun. And the whole point of getting dairy goats was to learn how to make cheese and yogurt, so hopefully I’ll have a chance to do that.
2023 is going to be a lot of staying home and working on what I have, I guess.
BUT JOHNATHAN AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL AT BOOK BONANZA AT THE END OF JUNE! We’re working on our new book right now (and it’s so fuckin’ funny!) So I can’t wait for that.
ALL GIVEAWAYS END DECEMBER 13TH AT MIDNIGHT MOUNTAIN TIME.
WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED ON DECEMBER 14 – PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN 24 HOURS
GIFTS WILL ALL BE SENT ON THE 15TH!
BTW – THERE ARE THREE EASY WAYS TO STAY IN TOUCH with me.
ONE – FOLLOW THIS BLOG – FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW and you will be notified via email whenever I put up a new blog post. I usually do this about once a month unless I’m having a cover reveal, or a new release, or something special like this 12 Days of Giveaways. This is not a newsletter list. It’s ONLY tied to BLOG POSTS.
TWO – JOIN MY NEWSLETTER – you will get an email when I send a newsletter. I don’t send very many. Maybe once a month unless I’m up to something special. But you will NOT be notified of blog posts.
DON’T FORGET TO CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL or it won’t sign you up.
THREE – or if you don’t like to get emails – YOU CAN JOIN MY FACEBOOK GROUP. This is where I hang out on the daily. We’ve got a nice group going with ZERO DRAMA. And if you ever have a question about something, you can tag me in there and I’ll answer you. I’m literally in there all day, every day.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY AND NEW YEAR.
Stay calm, stay safe, and let’s have a great 2023!
WINNERS FOR ALL GIVEAWAYS will be chosen on December 14 and announced on my blog and in my newsletter. All gifts will be mailed on December 15th with priority mail, so hopefully you get them before the big day. ALL MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL.

2023-I feel like “that’s not a real year” because I never expected to live this long. I will be 55 tomorrow.

I just want all my kids and husband to be happy and healthy and to be able to keep food on our tables and roofs over our heads!!!
Thank you for this wonderful chance!!!
I have a lot of goals for 2023. Attempt to write a novella. Have one of my dogs go through training for a anxiety dog (if he would ever stop barking he would be perfect for it.) Buy a new car. Spend more time with the adult kids. More then once a week. Possibly go back to school still thinking on that. And make the husband take a mini vaca.
Nothing special actually just being happy and healthy, me and my family. Thank you for the chance and happy holidays.
I want peace and getting to see my grandkids as much as possible in 2023. I’m a very blessed person.

My biggest want in 2023 is find out what my health issue is, for my family to be happy and healthy, travel, and enjoy my retirement.
I want to finally get back into working at a job I hopefully will love. Trying to switch careers so I have more time with my son.
Spending time withy friends and family
Good question. Aside from the common answer of health and happiness… there is nothing specific I “want”. Oh…wait …. I would like if we finish all the mini renovation project in the house that we started.
I am wanting a counter top ice maker as I love ice!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all these great giveaways!
I would like people to research Havana syndrome and Direct energy weapons and put pressure on their governments to establish neurorights like Chile has
That would be a great thing. 🙂 <3
What do I want from 2023, wow Julie your making me think now😃. honestly I’m not sure. I had a great job this year so I really hope I get called back again. I’d like to do some traveling with my husband. But I’m going to just take it day to day.🎄🎁☃️
Hope you have a great holiday
I would like to get in better shape
Health and happiness for my family and friends. To find love. And world peace. 😁
My big want for 2023 is to break out of this damn rut I’ve been in. Covid sucks, and life working from home is just an adjustment. I’ll continue working here, but I need to find my ‘why’. I feel like such a hamster right now.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to the new year to see what comes next; and to make my own path, not let life just take me where it wills.
Love you Julie; and I can’t wait to read more of your amazing stories next year.
I think I want a calmer year with a bit less stress than this one has had
And hoping to join another team at work and improve my skills 💜
Nothing major, for my family to be healthy and happy. I want to have a better schedule with sleep and exercising.
Just to completely put me out of contention immediately, I want a week to myself, like a spa week where all problems & complications are left in somebody else’s hands. I cared for my dad for years leading up to his death in late Nov 2019. And prior to that occurring, my mother had already started becoming ill w what would soon be diagnosed w Alzheimer’s & to be completely fair, my sisters had their own families with which to deal (I wasn’t married) so it made sense for me to care for our parents. However doing so can be unbelievably draining, no matter how much you love your parents, and I do love them – well now, just the one remaining parent – more than can be expressed – but we don’t have a “just in case” indl should our RN become ill, & my mother doesn’t like me leaving the apartment as a general rule & years from now, I’m not going to regret the staying home with my mother rather than going out w friends. It’s simply that if I don’t get some kind of break from everything- I’m thinking a full week away to myself – I might actually go completely insane and I don’t see how that will help anybody. However looking right above, I see someone discussing an Ed Sheeran concert that also sounds amazing; it’s simply that the one completely awesome night will likely not relax me enough to go back with a new, calmer attitude. I obviously feel guilty about this or I simply would have simply said “ I want a week long spa vacay” but I feel I’m leaving my responsibilities behind. Still, it would be nice to get massages and relax and just reread your books (some I still haven’t yet read; bought but still waiting tbr.) So that’s the really really long winded answer. So sorry. Still not succinct. One day I will learn. Thank you, if nothing else, for these sporadic outlets and possible chances. I think of them like the lottery, but I actually did enter a number of them so there’s some teeny tiny possibility of winning. Either way, tho, it was a nice break from RL. Thanks again!!
I want 2023 to be easy, first and foremost – I want things to come together of their own accord, easily, and in a crazy organic way, rather than the struggle of 2022!
I want for my kids to be happy and healthy. To maybe take a family vacation. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you.
My biggest want of 2023 is for my husband’s next posting to be somewhere we can ALL be happy! Each post there’s always one of us that doesn’t like it there, doesn’t like the house/apartment or the school or whether or whatever! I just want ONE post that we all agree on!
My biggest want is my daughter’s health issues to get completely better. I’m also hoping to get my car paid off in 2023 and am really looking forward to that.
It’s always health and happiness for the people I love. Personally, I want to move more. I’ve been such a slug for two years. Target goals and try to hit that mark whether it’s home projects or personal. Thanks for the 12 days. I looked forward to them each day.
For the economy to get better ,I know a lot people are just getting by or not getting by. I’m going on my 2nd year of gardening going to learn how to can my veggies. And Healthier year.
Merry Christmas 🎅
Thank you
I want to be healthy! Not had a good year in 21 or 22. Here’s to hoping 23 will be better.
For life to get easier and for my son to continue to achieve the positive progress that he is currently making in school with his social emotional health.
My big want out of 2023 is for my kids to be safe and healthy. My husband’s cancer to go away and never return, for myself I want to learn to be calmer and not stressing myself so much. Merry Christmas everyone!
My big want is for my roommate to be granted disability. It has been a long 2 years!
Just for it to be better than the last 2 years! These have been the craziest past 2 years (almost 3) and we need something positive this next year.
A happy and healthy year for all my loved ones. I want to visit my daughter more this year.
My hope for 2023 is for it not to have as many glitches as 2022 had for my family. Not as much illness, financial setbacks, things breaking, things not working out, etc. My big wish is that 2023 brings smooth sailing!
I want things to get easier. Everything is so expensive, things are still hard to get and there is just a real lack of niceness in the world.So I want those things to change. I want everyone to not only have what they need for a joyous holiday but to simply stay safe and warm this winter and I hope everyone receives some kindness that lets them feel seen, appreciated and cared for.
That’s the truth. I went to the grocery store last week and there were so many things that just aren’t there anymore. And the whole store was being run by old bikers and college kids. lol It was so weird. 🙂 They’re all nice guys but, I dunno. That’s not what my store looked like last year! haha. The world is crazy…
In 2023 I would like to complete my weight-loss journey that began in Feb. It has been extremely difficult after having too many to count surgeries since 2017. I made it through 2022 without having to be cut open. YAY!!
I would also love to see COVID be done and over with. I work in a lab and we are all over it.
Merry Christmas Julie and everyone!!!
2023 is the year my oldest starts college tours so my big want is for her to find her place ❤️ she dreams of eventually providing medical care in 3rd world countries and has been spending her summers doing service work but there in nod in her school that “gets her” so I’m hoping this year helps her find her place away from our town
To spend time with my family
My hope for 2023 is to travel more. I want to take my teenage daughter to see more of our beautiful country.
Health and travel. Thank you Julie for the wonderful stories and way you share your thoughts and the farm, so fun. Merry Christmas to everyone in this group, I love the camaraderie and most of us genuinely want to lift up each other.
My big goal for 2023 is to negotiate a fair contract for my fellow employees. My team has been working so hard on this goal. Reading in the evening is what is keeping me sane!
stay on my weight loss journey keep moving forward in that so i can become healthier then i have been and just get my life back on track last few years have been hard on all of us
My biggest want for 2023 is to get some health issues I have addressed by a Dr/specialist. I’ve been dealing with a lot of stomach problems and this year discovered a small cyst in the back of my throat and without health insurance haven’t been able to see a physician that can help me. I finally have gotten some insurance that will start in January, so hopefully can get some medical help and feel better. Thank you for the chance to win so many amazing giveaways!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
For my husband’s health to be better and we can do more things together. Would like the economy to be better, so don’t have to be constantly stressed.
Try to keep making healthier choices and of course read more!!
I want for my family to be healthy!
I seriously want to stay healthy, and be able to take care of my daughter and my home. I lost my husband of 34 years almost 10 years ago. So been doing by myself since then.
The hubs and I are both turning 50 next year so I’d really like to make a few different trips, timing and finances permitting!
My big want out of 2023 is to finally get a job in my certified work area, and to feel like I can breathe free again. Having a better relationship with God.
My goal for 2023 is to continue to master the self, be a better communicator, possibly learning how to write a script, freedom, write more, and living the dream.
By biggest want out of 2023 is to loose weight and to watch my son graduate from college. I also need to remodel my laundry room/office.
I’m 2023 I want to enjoy my new home, do some traveling and just try to life the best life I can.
What I want from 2023 is to find myself again. I once knew exactly who I thought I was and what I wanted out of life. Overtime life has happened and some where along the way I got lost in it. Don’t get me wrong there’s so many things about my life I love and would never change, but when I looked in my inter-mirror there’s something that’s missing. So my goal for 2023 is to do some soul-searching and not be afraid to go after my dreams. Even if I don’t have a clue what they are the right now.
Happy Holidays 🎄🎁
My big want for 2023 is just a little calmness and less anxiety for my 11 year old daughter.
Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year everyone 😊
My biggest want for 2023 is moving back to my hometown area. The hard part is convincing my husband since I was the one who wanted to move away in the first place. Ugh
What I want most of all I want my brothers and sister to be in better places in their lives! Since Covid everything is so fucking messed up! Two of my brothers are dealing with alcoholism and my sister is smoking herself into a early grave. Hopefully 2023 is better year for everyone! We sure need it in this world.
Ty! For the chance at this great prize!💋💕
I want 2023 to be a complete surprise, hopefully in a good way.
I’m hoping that my family stays healthy. We’ve dealt with multiple illnesses this year so I feel like we are due for a healthy year ahead.
In 2023, I would like to be calm, less stressed and have more time for reading and crafting.
My wish for 2023 is actually for my husband. We met in 2018 both in unhappy marriages with partners with substance abuse issues. Our life together started with practically nothing tangible. We purchased our modest mobile home in 2019 & got married in 2020. Early in 2021 he noticed numbness & tingling in the fingers in both hands as well as pain in his right leg/hip. Quickly overshadowed in March by a submandibular abscess that resulted in a week in (3 different) hospitals, 3 ambulance rides, 2 ICUs and 2 surgeries. The pain, numbness & tingling continued along with a host of other symptoms & a PCP who was unwilling to refer to a neurologist (but happy to prescribe Viagra, go figure) He collapsed in July when his leg just gave out – another trip to the ER and a lumbar MRI showed nothing but arthritis – 2 days later a trip to ortho urgent care revealed a broken fibula. That fall was oddly, a blessing – the team at the ortho practice ordered additional imaging which revealed a critical situation – herniated disc compressing his spinal cord which could imminently lead to paralysis. Within 5 days he had ACDF surgery, but the spinal cord damage is permanent. The symptoms are permanent and there are many days that he struggles to walk around the house, let alone work. It’s a cycle of pain management visits, medications and epidural nerve injections that wear off long before the next scheduled injection. Sleepless nights, frustration, depression etc… My wish for him in 2023 is to have fewer full body spasms, less debilitating pain and more peace.
I wish this too for the both of you. <3
My big want and prayer for 2023, is for my Mom to have, and survive, the aortic heart valve surgery she needs. She has congestive heart failure and is all I have. I can’t imagine my life without her being here with me. I pray this every day. 🙏🏻
My big thing I want to get out of 2023 is to continue being healthy, travel more, date more, enjoy myself more and continue to be more financially secure.
My big want for 2023 of course I want everyone to be healthy, happy, safe and successful but I also want to learn more about gardening. Happy Holidays! 😙
I want to retire.
First, thank you for a fun start to December! I’ve enjoyed this each morning.
My big want is to spend a little more time on me in the upcoming year. In order to be my best self and take care of my three awesome kids and great husband, I need to be a little more selfish with my time. I’ve put on some extra weight, had difficulty saying “no” to more and more activities, and seem to have a higher stress level than normal. I’m looking forward to a monthly massage, maybe a gals day every couple of months, etc. This mama needs to take care of herself too!
I want to become financially stable and casually work on fixing up my house to make it more me.
2022 was a tough one & 2023 will be a big transition, sending my girl/oldest off to college. My focus this year is enjoying this huge milestone with her despite the strain it will put on my Mama heart, some sort of family vacation before she leaves & updating my home office area. I cannot wait to see baby goats! 🐐 😍
I just finished 321 yesterday and loved it even though it made me ugly cry at the end 😭
2023 is gonna be amazing. I’ll be starting my new job as an RN, no longer having to be in school 24/7 and will actually have free time to spend with my family. I’m so excited!

I am hoping to be able to finally get married in 2023. My fiancé and I have been engaged for just over 2 years. And while I’m not in a rush, it’s just been kinda crazy because every time we start making plans, something happens…..first Covid, then the company we both worked for went out of business, and we’ve been struggling to find a balance since. The good news is we’ve been through so much that I know for sure he’s exactly the man for me 😁 now if we can just make it happen! Lol!!
Maybe unrealistic but for 2023 I would love to find a man from any of your books and have a spicy HEA
A healthier new year for myself and my family.

I really want and need to get a handle on my weight and overall health. I also want to plan a kick ass trip to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary. I want my husband and I to be in a better place with our grief, and both be able to function and live life versus just survive it.
Wow. 2023. We’ve been in our home (on 25 acres, with goats (meat) and used to have horses). Time for updates and new outdoor living space.
I want to find a job that I enjoy and be able to do it from home.
I really want a new job in 2023. Im on my third round of interviews for a new role and hope to start the new year witha a new role.
I would really like my brother to get his life straightened out so my.nephews could have at least one parent in their life.

My big want for 2023 is for
the hospital (NHS England) to finally schedule my heart surgery so I can finally go across the pond to the US to see my kids & grandkids who I haven’t seen since the start of COVID. That is all. ❤️x
My mom will turn 97 this summer. I would love to travel to New York and spend some quality time with her this year.
Every year I always wish for good health and happiness for my family and friends. Losing a couple of stone would be pretty awesome too! 😊
For 2023, the plan is to Rock it at my new job, and take a 25th anniversary trip with my husband!
My big want is to make progress in my professional program. I need to complete at least 2 modules in order to make my goal of finishing before I hit 40.

My big want out of 2023 is to not catch any virus
Peace, health and happiness. Plus get out of debt and read all the books.
My biggest want for 2023 is less stress and less worrying about things I can’t control. I want to relax more, travel more, see more of this big beautiful world. I want to focus on gratitude. Don’t want to “lose it” over the small stuff. And what a year 2023 could be!
My big want is for my husband’s health to continue to improve.
I want to continue losing weight and get healthier. 40 lbs down so far! Also I’d like to update our house. We built in 2005 and haven’t really updated much since then. Thank you Julie for your great giveaways! You are awesome!!!
Live more, worry less. ❤️
my 2023 wish is to be able to afford a family vacation! my oldest wants to do a ren fair and I want my youngest to see his older siblings in Texas!
I want to be well prepared for my upcoming board examinations, and to find a more settled and rewarding job. I want to focus on my physical and mental wellness too.

In 2023, I want to see all of my children. We live so far apart and I miss them.
To see my family would be awesome. Face time is great but a real hug is like heaven.

My husband to survive his cancer in 2023 and more time with the family is my big want for 2023.

My biggest want for 2023 is more balance, less stress, and lots of family time. Plus I plan to read a ton of books!
I want a calm, peaceful, and healthy 2023. colby69@verizon.net
Honestly, I just want more of the same. I continue to learn and excel in my new job, my adult daughters continue on their paths to self-sufficiency, my other half to continue killing it at the new “retirement job” he started in 2022. We are good! I do hope to spend more time with my parents, who are only a plane ride away.
Aside from being healthy, my goal for 2023 is to build a pond in our backyard.
I want to finally travel & see my family that lives another state ( I live in Louisiana, they live in Illinois) . I have had really bad health ( blood clots ) in the past so it hinders my ability to travel. And where they live is my hometown where I grew up.
I would love to find a home!
I just want ALL of my Family to be well and happy and for Me and Hubby to have good health also this year just to stay Happy and Healthy
By big want for next year is to get more exercise. I feel better when I do it, but taking that first step is hard. I need to push myself a little harder.
I want to get a new career as I currently am not finding any enjoyment or fulfilment where I am. For a materialistic want I’d love to take my children away on holiday in a plane, I’ve not been able to do so for over 10 years as a single parent.
You know, not to be political here, but I honestly would love a year that was just fuckin’ normal. I mean, no radical shit or our chosen leaders acting like assholes (or treating us like idiots). I know, I know. There’s a Santa Clause too, right? Anyway, I guess it’s nice to put that dream out into the ether, and maybe help to manifest something positive. You’re the best, Julie. Certainly helps to forget for a while all the terrible and abnormal. Oh, and I LOVE your work with Johnathan. GREAT partnership.
I just want to do BETTER. Better for my kids, be more present with them. Better healthy habits -actually use that exercise equipment I bought. Better for my team. Work is hard, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and create new ideas.
I really want to eat healthier! Including having more than coffee for breakfast everyday lol
I’m going out on a limb and trying a new adventure-a way to do something new and maybe make a little cash on the side. Putting myself out there will be a challenge but one I haven’t felt in a long time and looking to all the possibilities it can bring.
Go on a vacation to Catalina Island.
My big want is to buy the house I’m currently in right now! It’s hard now with interest rates being so high but I’m gonna make it happen in 2023!!
My mother taught me that life is about finding Joy, and that Joy can be found even on the darkest day. My desire for 2023 is to continue to find and give thanks for moments of Joy every day. And, I’d like to thank Julie for her creativity and hard work, because there have been many times in the past several years when I found Joy in one of her books. 💟
For 2023, I want to feel at peace and have more calming days than anxious days. I want health for my friends and family. Thanks Julie!! Love you and your books!
My big want for 2023 is to get started on decks and a pool for our home, it’s so hot in the summer and there’s nothing I love more than relaxing in the pool after work!
Health and happiness for my family and friends!! Also to try and get through some of the house ‘to do’ projects on my list and maybe take a vacation with my husband!! Looking forward to all your new 2023 projects we get to benefit from!! Wishing you the best 2023!!
My biggest want for the up coming year is for my husband to hopefully finally get the surgery he needs .. he’s been on a waiting list for 3 years and I hate watching him in pain and there’s nothing I can do to help
My want for 2023 is to be happy, healthy and relatively stress free. I had 2 hand surgeries in the last 14 months and the toll my bank account took is stressing me out and hurting my soul. I was off almost 7 months but it needed to be done, however I still feel guilty taking that time off. The economy is horrible and our money just doesn’t go as far as it used to so I am always worrying about every purchase, even food. We have a teenage daughter who is little concept of conserving money but it’s not on her, it’s on me. She also has TMJ which is not covered by insurance and cost us over 1K to get her able to eat again. It’s better but not fixed. I just want 2023 to be free of stress and medical issues and someone always being sick with covid or the flu
My big want out of 2023 is health and happiness. I struggle with true happiness and am working on finding more positive things in my life instead of focusing on the negative.
A new house. I hope it came true the next year. 🙂
i would like 2023 to be a sucessful year. to try and learn new things. overall be happy and healthy.
Good health and joy for family and friends
Finishing my Bachelors degree (finally) and spending QT with my family.
To start editing for more authors. I think I’m finally ready 🤙🏽. Thank you so much for doing all of these giveaways and giving us something to look forward to. I sincerely hope that you have the most magical of holidays 🎄🎄
My biggest want for 2023 is to be healthy and happy. It seems like the last couple of years it’s been one thing or another health wise. And hopefully get started on some repairs for our home.
My biggest want for 23 would be that I can do and make great memories with my family, experience the little learning new things and growing. More over just being there for family and friends.
My biggest “want” is health and safety for myself and my family. Anything else is a bonus.
My hope for 2023 is less stress & to get the projects I have in different stages of completion done. Lastly to see my family more. More visits to them or them here.
My big Want out of 2023 is to buy a house
I want to stay healthy and not get sick in 2023.
Happiness and Freedom!! 😍😍
My big want is to find my path. I am actively searching for a new job that I can find enjoyment in. My current one is sucking the life out of me but I stay for the convenience of it. I may just need to keep it and give myself the time I need to finally sit down and write my first book. It’s been started but life keeps getting in the way. I just need to find my path.
PS Can’t wait to see you at BB!
My biggest want for 2023 is for good health & happiness
My big want is a more well paid job… 😕 Or a second job. 😕 I’ve been trying… 😕
Love you. 🙂💜
A healthy happy family and less stress.
My Big Want of 2023 is to get my house finished, I bought a new home and have been in it for 3 years and my granddaughters room got decorated to her taste, (she came first) and the guest bath is very near completion, that’s it! I have the paint for most of the house, but between doctor’s visits for me and my family, and my pain, which seems to dictate most of my life, it is taking a long time to get things done!
I hope your 2023 find you very successful in your book life and I hope you post pictures of the baby goats!
Have a magical holiday season!
I want some of my pain in my back to ease up and not have to take as many pain meds. Also the new iPhone 14 would probably be more achievable 🤣🤣🤣
I hope for less craziness in the world. Can’t we all just get along?!?!
I’d ove to redo my bedroom in 2023. I’ve been sort of thinking of t since a big breakup a few years ago, but I think it’s time for a do over.
I have a new granddaughter due the end of March. I want continued health and happiness for my children and grandchildren! Thanks Julie.
Ps: I always forget about 321 but this might be my favorite book. It’s when I decided your mind is an interesting place!! I bought a signed copy last year for a friend and should have kept for myself!!
I want to travel now that my husband and I are retired Thanks for the opportunity to win 12 wonderful prizes Merry Christmas to you and your family
My biggest want is to see the 2 grand babies I have not met and have all my family together
We are planning to go on a cruise and planning a road trip vacation in Colorado with my granddaughter.
Make a huge dent in my TBR list. Is that even possible?
Surprise experiences to continue as they have been for 68 years.
My big want out of 2023 is to make a name for myself in my new job, but more than that to be able to get in a better financial situation. So we can provide more for my kids
For 2023, I want my health and to be able to travel..I retired right at the beginning of the pandemic and all my travel plans were put on hold..I hope next year I can start knocking out some of my bucket list places..
I do not do resolutions any more. They just make me feel like a failure. I prefer to do things as they come around or as I decide to them. Would love to read more JA Huss books and I might even venture into KC Cross. And maybe put solar panels on at home. But 2023 will let me know as it speeds along
My big want for 2023 is for me to grow as a boss. I want to be a better boss and learn more efficient ways of my teams getting their jobs done and help them do better. (I’m new to being a manager and let’s just say I say the words “I have no fucking clue” a lot ) 😅😅
My big want of 2023 is a healthier year without stress.
My ‘Want’ for 2023 is to put a dent, even if it’s a small one, in my TBR list. There are so many books I wanted to read this year that I haven’t gotten to yet
My really big want for 2023? With the way society is right now I want my family and friends to be healthy, safe, and happy. I want people to stop actively searching for reasons to be judgmental of others. I want criminals to be imprisoned instead of released to keep terrorizing the public. I want to be proud of my country once again.
My big want out of 2023 is that I want our family to stay healthy and get to spend lots of time with our family and friends. Thank you for this fun. Merry Christmas to you.
My hope for 2023, is for myself and my family to be healthy and happy and the babies coming in the new year are healthy and well.
My big want for 2023 is to get in better shape. I just joined a gym so I can do that. I’m turning 50 in 2023 and want to feel better and have more energy!
Better health so I can get more active.
My BIG WANT of 2023 is that I to travel more and relieve all the toxic people out of my life!
I want a great family vacation in 2023. We are definitely going somewhere- I just have to figure out where 🙂
I would love to have the front yard revamped and finished. We still need to pour a slab for the above ground pool we purchased at the end of summer.
I still want to replace the hazelnut trees with some type of fruit tree we currently have apple and cherry trees in the front. I want a plum and maybe a peach tree as well. I know we would need two of course for germination I just haven’t decided which I want more.
Lastly finishing the walkway in the red brick and just making the yard more beautiful is my goal.
Thank you for all of these opportunities to win an amazing giveaway crossing my fingers I get chosen this year for one.
What is my big want of 2023? Honestly, my prayers have come down to two things. I ask God to keep us safe and healthy. That’s it. I’ll be thrilled if my family and I stay safe and healthy. There’re only 5 of us left, all over the age of 55. I just want time with my family.
Thank you for the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways! I absolutely love 321! I love everything I read that is written by you, but 321 was my first and it’ll always be special to me!
Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄❤
I would love to be able to retire in the next year. My want is to volunteer (or work – good to get paid for what you love!) at the local library. I love to read, and to be able to help people discover new (book) loves and get the scoop on new stories would be a dream. Happy Holidaze!
In sad I missed some of the giveaways, I was traveling back to Spain, visited family and friends, bought an SUV, packed the remaining belongings I had in a warehouse in Madrid, I don’t know how but packed it all up (9 suitcase and 9 boxes (took the contents out of the boxes and put them in trash bags to be able to fill everything in (had to leave one suitcase and two boxes) but, anyhow, drove all the way to my home in Tarragona (you all are welcome to visit). Ok, now on to 2023: I want to finish getting my son Héctor settled into college so that I can finally focus on settling myself in Spain for good. At the moment I’m pernoctating in three countries: USA, Ghana and Spain so I want to finally settle in and have all my belongings in one place. It’s a very simple goal. I can’t wait to learn more about that book bonanza in June and obviously read all the incoming books. Life is bland when I don’t have one of your books to listen to.
Cheers,
It’s not to late to enter the ones you missed. Julie has it set up where you can go to the days you missed and answer the question and your good to go. She’s mentioned it several times or maybe in every giveaway day. Good luck!
I’d like to go on an Alaskan Cruise this summer. It’s been on my family vacation bucket list for a long time.
2023 is SO important to me. It begins a new chapter in my life. My youngest will be graduating from homeschool before the end of 2022, and so I’ll be able to focus on my new career goal, that of author. My plans for 2023 are to write three or four books before publishing anything so that I can schedule them out and develop an audience while I continue writing. I’ve been getting such great advice from a little handful of long-time author friends who are so supportive. Impostor syndrome is so real! LOL
As for 321, Ford may be my favorite character of yours, but 321 is my favorite book of yours. With you being my favorite author, I would be SO stoked to win any one of these giveaways. Good luck to all and happy holidays!
I have 2 big wants out of 2023….
I love my new job and the opportunities it gives me and I want to be able to take full advantage of those and see the impact that they have on so many. My other BIG want is that I WANTTTTT to go to book bonanza in June! 😩😩 I was one of the many bazillion who was in line that day for tickets that got booted out. I’m still super salty about it if you can’t tell, but I am nothing but an eternal optimist so maybe I will get lucky on one of the many groups and forums I’m in to try to get tickets 😉
Thank you for doing this give away! This is my first one to participate in but I feel like an expert in your books. I love your writing style and the complexity of your characters so much…I guess that’s why I struggle with believing that they are real or not…bc they most definitely are real to me.
My Big want out of 2023 is to become debt free. It is within my grasps, and I cannot wait to get there! And well of course to lose weight, but who doesn’t want that?
A smooth transition from 8th grade to high school for my son. To watch my great baby niece learn and experience her first year. Merry Christmas and thank you for all of the amazing giveaways!
To be truly happy! To find myself/my voice and either be able to mend my marriage or walk away as friends.
I’m gonna and not be as lazy with my health and hopefully my family can do a bit too. Thanks for all the chances for all the days 😁
My big want of 2023 is to fix both my wrists/hands. I’ve screwed them up pretty badly and I’m having surgery before Christmas on one. I just want to be able to use my hands and hold things without dropping them.
My biggest want is to finally have ACL replacement surgery and lose all the weight from being immobile!
Stabilise my health issues, borrow some more money to buy more shares in dairy farm and to stay happy. Maybe find something new to try too. Thank you again for all your books xxx
I only hope that 2023 brings my family happiness and many joyful days
I want to be healthy in the new year. We’ve had a rough year, so a calm one full of healing would be lovely.
My biggest want is to travel more and to be healthier.
My big want for 2023 is to find balance in my business (and read more books!).
To finally get to leave the house as I became housebound just before covid hit and now find it difficult to leave the house but I’m working through it to achieve my goal of maybe attending a book signing at the end of next year fingers crossed
I really need to focus on my health. After two years of teleworking and sitting on my behind all day I am out of shape. I will focus on health, family and happiness.
My big want is a return to normalcy. The past couple of years have felt surreal.
In 2023 I hope that my husband can launch the business he has been working so hard on for the past 5 years in the background of everything else going on in our lives.
Reversing my new diabetes diagnoses. I think I’m well on the way in doing that, too. xD
I want to figure myself out. Be bold. Get out into the world again. I’ve become a hermit and have forgotten how to live outside of my cave. I signed up to volunteer at a big kink event in April and I’m determined to do more.
This is a hard one. I want a lot! I guess the most important “Want” for myself, is satisfaction. Satisfaction that I’m enough in every way for my family, friends, and me. My family live 3 hours away and I visit 7-8 times a year but sometimes feel I can get there more often. I have 2 grade school age grandkids that I keep daily so don’t get much girlfriend time. I am 43 years old and constantly look in the mirror for my next Botox touch up spot. I want 2023 to be the year I realize my family doesn’t expect more travel time from me, that my friends totally understand that this age I have grandkids is to make memories, and finally, for me to be satisfied that I look Amazing for being over 40.
To see Mom turn 82 and Dad turn 89
I’d like to take a Christmas trip with the whole family. somewhere warm!
I’m working on getting better and expanding what I do. I can’t wait to dive into editing
Travel more + spend more time with my nephew.
Quiet Christmas at home with my husband
Would love for Out Country to get back on its feet, my business is better than this year & good health
I want to travel again. Just as COVID began I had to cancel my annual trip to Boston. I want to go back to Bermuda. We usually went to Bermuda and came back through Boston for a few days.
I want to stop complaining so much, not to stress out over the little things and smile more!😊 Life’s too short!
Thank you…I am hoping for the end of the war in Ukraine; for evil people to get what they deserve; for my daughter personal life to stop imploding; for peace and health for everyone.
No one ever really ask me what I want .. so I had to think about this one … I would have to say just make it through it better than I am leaving 2022!
I am hoping to move forward with publishing my book, finding a better work/life balance, keeping my health in check, and preparing for both of my daughters weddings.
I want to actually start enjoying my retirement. Right now I am missing my work and work peeps
My biggest wish for 2023 is to see my daughter after 20 years. It is long overdue and will be healing for us both. I could cry just thinking about this.
Thank you, Julie
I want to get better work and olhome life balance. My new job is very demanding, seeing less of my family and our time is often interrupted with work. It’s making me crazy. Need to find a way to balance it better.
Just for my family to stay healthy, happy and get back to a normal flow of things with a lot less stress and worries!
Happy holidays Julie and anyone to happens to read this!
Honestly, I just want everyone in my family to stay healthy and strong. That’s my biggest want. A trip to Scotland would be nice, but that might be asking for too much.
My family to be happy and healthy
My “big want” is to get some big answers and solutions regarding my health, that leads to the second part of the want, I want to find something I’m good at and passionate about. I’d love to start a new career.
Happy Holidays!
A lot less stress. Spending time with my kids and grandkids. Having more me time.
What an awesome gift!!! My big want… lots of small magic moments with the kids.
My big want is to lose weight. I’ve lost 35 so far and have more to go.
My big want is to get my business off the ground.
I would love for health in 2023. I lost my dad two months ago and its been a rough year. I just want everyone to be healthy. also to not waste time on others that dont care about you. There are more important things in life then others bringing you down. Cut them out and you will be a lot happier of a person. Thanks for all the giveaways.
I would love to lose weight and sell our house. We live in a flood plain and I don’t want to go through a third flood.
My big want for 2023 is for my son and daughter having steady employment and are healthy and happy.
For my family and friends to be healthy safe and happy
to feel and be healthier
My big ask is actually gonna be several asks. I want the war in the Ukraine to be over with. That the abortion ban in the US be overturned! Women will be treated not like 2nd class citizens but with respect and dammit equal pay. That the LGBTQ+ people be accepted EVERYWHERE. Please no more shootings especially at little children. Cure for cancer, ALS or any other horrible diseases would be lovely. I know these are big asks but it would be so great if they happened.
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy 2023 and beyond.
I guess I could stand to lose some weight for my health lol.
Oops not ask. Want.
Either a new house or my current one remodeled
Health and to catch up on my TBR list!
My big want would be health and happiness for my family. It’s unlikely since my middle son has life altering disabilities and requires 24/7 care. It takes a toll on our entire family.
My big want is just to have my family and loved ones happy, in good health and content. The last three years have been such a roller coaster that I just want things to remain calm
For a year of no heart ache, or loss
My big want for 2023 is to travel!
My personal want: to get my migraines under control. My want for the world- all the big things (better distribution of wealth, access to food, shelter and safety for all, – a grown up Christmas list [a la Amy Grant])
My want which is doubtful is all debt paid off. My realistic want is workout pants or an oversized bleacher chair.
I want to buy a new house. Ours is too small. So I’m going to work towards making that happen in 2023
My main goal for 2023 is to finish all the home improvements we started this year and repaint all the rooms in our house.
My big want for 2023 is to become a little bit more social0 I am a homebody by nature and have to make myself make plans with friends. I want to attempt to plan more dinners with friends whether out on the town or just at my house!
I want everyone in the family to be healthy again. Everyone seems to be fighting something.
Peace from what 2022 brought to me
My big want is to win my custody case against my ex.
I want my son to find love and happiness. I want him to find peace within himself and joy in every day life. I want his struggle with anxiety and depression to disappear. I want to see him smile because he’s truly happy and not forcing it. I want to not worry everytime he looks a little off. Peace, health and happiness!!!!
Continued health and travel to Key West
I want a disaster free year.
I would love a healthy year!
For my husband to get the promotion he’s going for and the raise that comes with it. This year has been a huge struggle financially for us. And a healthy year! This year has been awful! We are currently battling Influenza in our house and 3 out of the 6 of us have it right now.
Want a BIG remodel of kitchen/bath/floors
My big “want” is for my family to continue to thrive & be happy with no illness.
OMG…THIS BOOK!! I read it SO long ago and the impact still affects me!! So many gasps happened while reading this book! I loved it. I’ve never read a book since that comes close to how awesome this book was! My big want for 2023 is for my first grand baby to be born healthy. And for 2023 to be more peaceful, healthy and happy for my family. 2022 has been rough!
My 18 year old daughter has been struggling with anxiety and depression! My big want is for her to get better and be happy and healthy! Thanks for the chance!
I just bought a house in Jan 2022 and still don’t have bedroom furniture. So I would love to purchase a bed set for my master.
What I want can’t be purchased, unfortunately. I want my beagle Dixie to have an another year + with us. I want it to be pain-free for her, though. With cancer, liver disease, hypothyroid, degenerative disc disease and chronic ear infections, it’s hard to keep her stable. I will keep doing my part, though, and as long as she is wagging her tail, has an appetite and seems to be enjoying life, I will cherish every moment I have with her!
My big want for 2023 is that I continue on my journey to a healthy and happy life. For years, I lived for my husband and for my children, I believe it’s time to live for me! ❤️
Man.. there are so many heavy things I wish for this next year. Peace for my husband, better health for me, scholarships galore for my awesome, soon-to-be a senior son.. but secretly, I wish for more time to read.
My biggest want for 2023 is to pay off some bills and hopefully be able to save enough money to buy myself some new glasses. I have not had new glasses for approx 10 years. REALLY NEED NEW ONES!!!!

No big wants for me. When I read everyone’s comments, especially those going through hard times, I am just wishing and praying that their wants come true. I want to keep appreciating everything I have.
2023 is going to bring more opportunities to travel. Unfortunately Book Bonanza isn’t one of my destinations. But Wild and Windy I’m the City and Indies Invade Philly are my destinations. Wish you and Jonathan were going to be there!!
My big want is for life to be easier. When I say easier I mean financially, personally, etc. There has been a lot going on in the family the last few years. My mom is the caregiver for my dad who has Alzheimer’s and its doing a number on her health. We just need a better year period.

Than the other big one want is to find love… But for that one maybe it’s better if love finds me! 😍
Good health for me and my family. More time with my grandsons and make lots of new memories with them.
Financially stable. That’s my biggest goal.
Good health is the main wish for this coming year – for me, my family and everyone.
After that wish, my list just goes on and on. World Peace, a cure for all these awful diseases, prosperity – I guess I want it all.
All I want is for both of my kids to be healthy and happy. And for my son and his wife to be settled into their new life together.
A new & affordable car. My daughter and my husband’s car are both on their last leg. Both are old but paid off and it’s really hard to add another bill right now.

Wishing everyone a safe and merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Forget the resolutions, enjoy your moments.
Big love
Nicole ❤️💚
Oh and I am turning 50 in 2023 🥳
I am hoping 2023 will be uneventful! Hopefully we can can get some work done around the house and declutter. But our biggest tasks will be moving the big chicken coop and compost piles. And moving fruit trees!
I just really want to get in better shape, weight wise and fitness.
I want to start jewelry making classes & photography.
Happy Holidays!!!!
My big want is to get into better and healthier habits to make life over 50 easier!
To plan more ‘small’ plans with family and friends. Be fitter and healthier for my planned holidays. To be more grateful that I have a job to go to, I am able to visit the gym and I still have my mum here to visit and care for instead of seeing these things as a negative. Clare. Xx
I’m not going to say my most pressing, absolute, begging-to-the-heavens want out of a superstitious thought that then it won’t happen. But my second want is to get a part-time job in my field. That would be very, very cool to have happen.
Merry Christmas, Julie and thanks for both the awesome books and the awesome giveaways!
My want for 2023 is to be happy and healthy

My big wish for 2023! Besides the obvious of keeping my family and friends all safe & healthy. I really hope that I will be get motivated to clean out our closets and storage bldg we call the Bunker and free myself of the burden of holding onto junk I don’t need. I have a lot of it! Then have the energy to post the more valuable things on Mercari and make a little extra $$ for my seatbelt purse habit, crafting and book reading.
Health for everyone in our family and for my husband and I to get back in shape.
I would basically just love to have a decent year. I’m a nurse and these past few years have been rough.
Hugs to you Jody! I wish this for everyone in your field.
I have 2 big wants for 2023.
1. To get my floors fixed before they fall out from under us.
2. One more year with no major hurricanes.
Truly, that is all I want for next year.
My wish is to be able to continue to provide medical care for our type 1 son while he finishes college. Otherwise I hope to continue my time reading, going to movies with my boys and the Colorado Avalanche get healthy soon. This season is brutal.
Love and health for my family and I.
If everything goes to plan, in 2023 I’ll finish my doctoral degree and get my nurse practitioner license! It’s been a long road and I’m ready to see the finish line!!
For my family to be healthy and to be able to have some time to slow down and just enjoy life.
To get out of this go nowhere/do nothing rut. Like I have no desire to do things, and if I set a goal I don’t even try. Kinda depressing this year is almost over and it was wasted. I didn’t even feel like reading much. Then again 2022 did not start off good health wise. I’m hopping to end this year how I want 2023 to kick off.
I can identify. I hope things get better for you!
For my family to finally get a new car and/or house. Both are an absolute necessity, so it’s hard to prioritize one over the other.
To finally publish my short novel on Amazon and other retailers 🙂
My big “want” is for our house to be finished. Siding is needed so badly.
make enough to move
I’d like to have better health.
Good health and family
In 2023 I want to focus on downsizing, to get rid of my four storage units and get organized. I’m so tired of boxes EVERYWHERE!! Thank you so much for the wonderful books that you write. Please keep posting pictures of your animals, I enjoy these so much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
2022 has been a very rough year. My husband broke his neck, was neglected in the hospital and treated abusively by a male nurse and in the ER, none of the needed devices were ready for his discharge and I had to leave him home sooner after surgery to run around and pick up a walker and commode, etc. If I wasn’t at the hospital he didn’t get fed. I changed his bedding, got him drinks, emptied the urine bottle, etc. No hospital personnel took care of those needs. I felt overwhelmed for 2 months after he came home.
I deal with 2 family members with mental health issues. Luckily we have 2 certified therapy dogs I take out on visits who help me as much as they bring smiles and joy to others.
My only request for 2023 is some peace in my life.
Happy Holidays.
I pray to continue to heal and bounce back from my hospitalization and sickness this year that has made me so weak and sick. I’ve still been struggling since May. My wish is good health for my family and me, along with love and happiness. And, I hope to financially be able to have less burden and more freedom.
My big want is to stay healthy and not a repeat of 2022. Also want to go to as many book signings as I can!
If I can get to the end of the year without catching Covid again I’ll be supper happy LOL!
To be as honest as possible I’d truly like my children to find their happiness. Both struggled this year trying to get back to the very start of adult life. They like many others started out with COVID stopping the time of life to explore and figure out starting off. All I want as any parent is for them to be happy and healthy. Doing my best to support them in what they choose to be! I’ve said this before and I’m grateful for your questions that make me think about the true things in life!! Thank you so much for this opportunity. To you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year ahead! ❤️📚🎄
I’m hoping to get our insurance to approve a much needed back surgery that I need so that i can hopefully get on the road to healing and not hurting as much.
Buying our own home!
I want my boys to graduate from college this May!!!(And then get a job and move out!!!)😁👍
I really want a kitchen and bathroom renovation. Maybe a sunroom addition added on to that if I had enough in the budget. I see it in my head but we’ll see…
For 2023 I want to write more books and work on perfecting my craft b
The biggest thing that I want out of 2023 is some peace. For me and my family, my work and the world. Everything seems to be going crazy 24/7 ever since COVID started and our worlds have never stopped spinning. My family went into 2022 homeless but eventually we found a home that we love. My work in pediatrics has never been more fulfilling or busy but I would love to see it calm down because all the old and new respiratory illnesses have run their course. This world today, what can I say? There’s good and bad in everything but insanity seems to be the mainstay lately. I would like everyone to stop and take a breath, look around them to see that there are others who are in just as much need as they are and show the patience and compassion that we all need every day. A little hope wouldn’t be so bad either. So that’s the biggest thing I want, peace on Earth and good will to all.
My big want for 2023 is to enrol in college and start working on getting my nursing degree 🎓
I learned to crochet this year so in 2023 I would like to learn mosaic crochet and interlocking crochet. I’m still a beginner but I’ve always set ambitious goals.
I want happiness and good health for everyone and to spend a lot of time with my family.
It may sound cliche but to be healthier. I’ve already started my journey. Now it’s time to work with my doctor to figure out how to stop having t.i.as
In 2023 let me make myself present in each day, be healthy, be more aware of those around me and how I can support them (it won’t be financially 🤣). And just quietly, keep my eyesight clear foe reading ❤️
Watching my grandson graduate from high school. So proud. Spending more time with family. Merry Christmas
Health. Happiness. Ambition. Independence.
Hands down my biggest want has to be myself and my family staying healthy and happy throughout the year.
I would love to get healthier.
Buying my first home, finding the right location, staying close with family.
My big want for 2023 is to travel, either to Ireland or Iceland. My husband and I had just started making plans before the Covid restrictions began, and I would really like to follow through.
To lose weight, or to actually finish editing and self publish my second book. And finish another book!
My big want is to go see the Kansas City Chiefs play, maybe the Memphis Grizzlies. Already have tickets to a Nascar race, but hoping to squeeze in a vacation since I haven’t been on one of those since I was a teenager with my parents.
I want to stay well. It’s a challenge these days.
Good health and happiness for my family and I!
I want to live more in the PRESENT and be more conscious. Also, do more activities with my husband.
Becoming healthy enough to travel more. Due to my disability it slows me down. Keep my finances in order and pray my family stays safe and happy. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and all the best in the new year. Keep up with the awesome writing and win or loose I’m gonna read all your books I haven’t read yet. Which aren’t many
Adopting the little girl I’m fostering. I’ve never been able to have my own kids. Adopting her would be the best thing ever.
Good luck 💕
To pay off the mortgage on my house!
To get my sewing and craft room put together and organized so I can finally use the room for making gifts for family and friends. It’s just a bedroom that’s used as a storage area right now. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. Good luck to all in this wonderful 12 days of gift giving from an amazing author and person JA Huss! ❤🎄☃️❤🎄☃️❤🎄☃️❤🎄☃️❤🎄☃️❤🎄☃️❤
My big want is to (finally!) finish editing the YA book I started a few years ago.
To see family & friends more than this year.
I want to plant a vegetable garden and actually have it produce something, last year didn’t go so well lol. I planted tomatoes and cucumbers and whomever put the seeds in the packets messed up I got one gourd out of all of it.
Financial freedom
To finish some big crafting projects and for my little one to finally potty train. As well as good health for my family and self.
My big want for 2023 is for better health. The end of 2021 brought me a heart attack and September 11, 2022 something went wrong with my right foot and I haven’t been able to walk on it since. Six doctors still can’t tell me what is wrong. I finally get an MRI on the 19th. Maybe some answers? For 2023 I hope and pray for better health. Not only for me, but my family as well. If I can’t have the better health then I wish to win the lottery. 321 was the first book I read of yours and I still LOVE it. Happy Holidays to you Julie.
To improve in health and any aspect of life.
Just want a nice calm and peaceful existence without worrying about money and seeing my kids happy.
Merry Christmas 🎄 JA🥰
To feel better about the world, first and foremost. Too much going sideways, it seems. <3
My big want for 2023 is to be able to cut back on the hours I work! Since the pandemic started, I’ve been working overtime virtually every week. I’d like to have the time to do the things I truly enjoy!
My biggest want for 2023 is to be healthier than I am now. I’ve got a few issues that need fixing. I’d like to get them fixed and be on a better path than the “worry path” each day! I’m also hoping to be a bit more settled and know where I’m going instead of everything always being up-in-the-air. Many days I just feel like I’m waiting for the next bomb to drop and disrupt my life, haha. Hopefully, that will be gone in 2023! Happiest of Holidays to you and everyone!
Happiness!!!
My biggest want for 2023 is happiness, love and good health!
My ‘big want’ is to get my fitness level back up to where it was a year before I packed up and moved from a small dark appointment to my current home (nice little house in the sun). I feel like I aged a decade getting ready for the move and then getting settled into the new home. I want to make smart, mindful decisions about food and activity so that I feel good physically, and I stop beating myself up for ‘letting myself go.’
I am also on the hunt for an unattached guy who can dance — ballroom, latin, and/or swing — I am an excellent social dancer and I need someone to dance with. Good exercise for body and brain, and it’s fun!
Once more desire for 2023 is to leave the Northern Hemisphere for the first time – my plan is a 10 day visit to Italy with some dancing friends.
Big want is to work less and read more! I can always dream!
Hi – my big want for 2023 is for my family to be happy and healthy. My husband just brought home a third hound so I am hoping everyone gets along for this next year. Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for all the work you put into your writing and blogging. I appreciate all the hard work you’ve done for these 12 days of Christmas. I love all your books they are an amazing distraction from all that life throws at us. 💖
A little more flexibility in schedule to continue homeschooling while letting him enjoy all the extra curricular things
My big want for 2023 is to be able to spend more time with my grown boys. Time slips away so fast. I’d also like to go to explore Colorado.
That my family, friends and I are healthy.
Ooh. My big wish is to get things caught up at work. And take a vacation. I need down time. And time to read and relax.
Don’t really have any big wants, other than to survive the year! lol But I am planning on looking for a new place to live with my elderly father that’s a little easier getting in and out of. (The apartment we are living in now, requires a lot more walking than he is comfortable with.)
i want someone to save my roof. the house is collapsing
Merry Christmas!! My big want for 2023 is to complete some honey do fixer uppers with my home. Lots of wants so hopefully some will happen.
A peaceful year? Just this month I found out I needed to have an emergency tooth extraction which will be followed up with nine months of dental appointments for an implant which we don’t have insurance for, the washer has died, and our hot water heater is on the fritz. I’d like just regular for a while please. (Hopefully that’s my only set of three for a while…Unless I get some good threes to compensate!)
In 2023 I want to get out of debt.
Hoping to spend some time with family and friends in 2023. Loving all the books.
I want to come to a happy decision on whether to retire and move closer to family or stay put and continue working. The benefits work out to about even with either choice so I can’t really come to a decision.
I have lived in the same house for over 43 years. The house is full of the usual junk most of us collect over the years. I would like to empty the house and perhaps downsize
My want is for a normal, uneventful year
My big want is for better health for the hubby and me. These past few months have been hell in the health department.
My husband has always wanted a space for model railroading and making pottery. In 2023 my biggest want is for us to build a 12 x 20 gambrel roofed “barn” between our horse barn and woodworking shop for his play space – the blueprints and materials are his Christmas gift. Praying our old knees survive the build lol
To be able to fix things properly around the house. There are some serious issues requiring serious $$$. One day at a time. I lose sleep sometimes because I want it all done now! Lol. Since Covid, prices have tripled for every single thing. There is hope, though. The garage is started. Granted, it’s just a concrete slab, but we are moving forward.
I want my family to stay healthy. My mom is in her 80s and hopefully we will many more years with her. My other want is to travel again. After dealing with the shutdowns and then a new job with no vacation time, I hope we can visit someplace interesting and exciting.
2023 is my first year completely out of college and starting my full time job which I’m super excited about. I want to really enjoy being a full working adult. I would also like for my family to remain healthy and happy after spending the last 3 months in the hospital and hospice as well as dealing with the aftermath of my last grandparent’s death.
I want to finish paying off my credit cars!
I hope 2023 is better than 2022. Health, happiness and peace.
I want to travel! Don’t care where or how!
It’s probably a big ask, but if we could have a year without any historic events, that’d be great
My greatest wish is to have a year full of good health. Note: I’ve got to be here all of 2023 just to read my favorite author, Julie Huss’s future books!
Being debt free! Spending more time with family is another.
My want for 2023 – for my best friend to get her life back on track without the added drama from outside sources. For my home business to pick up – that the contract I’m hoping for actually comes through and my husband and I won’t have to struggle to pay our bills, and have some freedom to spend time together.
I want to be able to participate in life and stop living on the sidelines. It’ll mean putting in the work to reach that point but I’m at a place where I’m desperate to do that.
I want my husband’s back to stop hurting. I would also like for my sister to get a job that she actually likes. Either one would be great!!!
For 2023, I hope to be out in the world again, with a new (mammoth capture) digital camera. Probably up the West Coast from LA to Canada, visiting gardens and waterfalls. Or maybe the East Coast from the azaleas of Mobile to the cherry blossoms of Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (have seen the Tidal Basin cherry bloom a few times)-depending on the project at Walter Reed National Military MedCen. I’d REALLY like to be planning on the bluebells in Belgium, the Keukenhof of course, the wisteria in Germany, then flower borders in England, but overseas will likely have to wait till later. Oh, and home stuff like termite tenting, getting another storage shed, building a wall of bookshelves, fixing the leaks that appear in our flat roof (since it “never” rains in California – hah!)
To come out of it healthier than I am right now.
My brother in laws cancer treatment to work!
Everything to be ok between my husband and his stepson.
For 2023 I hope to go back to teaching either full or part time. I have been a SAHM for the last 4.5 years and it is time to go back to work. Both my kids will be in Middle school 😭 and I need to start saving for their college!
To become more financially independent. For my small Buisness to become more success than hobby
Can’t wait to read 321!!!

I know it’s not fun, but I really want to get some of my.home improvement projects done. I need to get my house painted and new gutters put on with guards, some plumbing things completed, some kitchen repairs, and my pool resurfaced. Like I said, not fun but necessary and it will feel like a sense of accomplishment.
Merry Christmas, Julie. I wish all the best for you in 2023. Thank you for your generosity and for all the joy and entertainment you bring us with your books.
My big want for 2023 is for my husband’s health to improve and for the to get to the bottom of the issues that he’s been having with his health this year. We don’t have any children and we live in a different state than our families so ALL we have is each other and I’m not ready to lose him yet we have to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in May and I would really like for it to be a happy celebration. Merry Christmas and thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity in doing this giveaway
My big want for 2023 is some good news. The last two years have been rough with a lot of unexpected expenses. I hope for the next year to have better luck, rather than a constant stream of bad news. Also, I hope to land a great job in the coming year.
To move out of my in laws and into my own 🏠
I want for everything to be all good for family, friends and myself. I want for us all to be healthy, happy, full of love and to be financially good.
To finish the remodeling of our house so I can fully unpack (missing lots of kitchen items) and work on my craft stuff

Health and Happiness for my family!
Hi Julie – Thanks again for all you do for your reader community.
2023 – I want the usual health & happiness for me and my extended family, but my biggest want is two-fold: to figure out how I am going to make ends meet when my retirement fund (which I draw from every month to supplement my Social Security/Disability income) is depleted next summer AND whether I will be kicked out of my “affordable housing” apartment for earning too much in 2022 and not being able to meet the minimum income in 2023. Ain’t that a trip!?!
My big “want” out of 2023 is for my kids to realize that their choices are negatively affecting them and those around them. I want them to realize their potential. I want them to take responsibility for their actions. I want them to be happy. Sigh, big wants but I will never stop trying.
Side note, this book was the very first book of yours I read and was immediately hooked.
Finishing my degree as working full time and studying is stressful
Not sure yet
My health. Being able to walk without my hemi-walker.
My biggest want for 2023 is to finally get approval for disability benefits. I’ve been fighting almost 5 years, two rounds with an administrative law judge and instead of making a decision in November, he sends me a notice with a supplementary hearing in February 2023. It’s been a hard year. I’m hoping for good news next year. Well, I guess my biggest WANT is to be healed. I don’t want to need disability benefits. I want to be able to move without pain, work a job, save for retirement, take my son on vacation or even just go for a walk with him. Thank you so much for all your generous and wonderful giveaways! Happy Holidays!!!
We had a pretty big & busy 2022, with our oldest graduating college, a trip to a wedding across the country & lots of guests visiting us in our new home post-pandemic. So my 2023 wants are just some quiet time, where I can organize and perhaps design a new kitchen or bathroom.
A kindle
Better health and t see my friend face-to-face.
My big want for 2023 is to take opportunities as they come to enjoy life whether it’s going to a concert, host family gatherings or read a n eagerly anticipated book. If this pandemic has taught me anything it’s not to miss out on opportunities and chances to do things that bring yourself joy!
My want for the new year is to spend more quality time with my hubby. He has been working on a huge work project for over a year and I have been splitting my time between Michigan and Florida since he was occupied. Now that the project is finished I hope to find some small trips or things to do to to spend time with him and allow him to have some r and r.
My big want for 2023 is to be healthy and when opportunity knocks, to take it.
Full staff at work would reduce my stress a ton!
Wow Julie, hits home hard! I’m just finishing Savage beasts and on to the next treasure you hold! Peace and Love!
More than one day off every week.
My biggest want is just the continued success of my children.
My big want(s) of 2023 are to find love, make new friendships that last, and for the things I’ve been praying for to come to fruition. Thanks for the chance
Hoping that more travel with my husband is in 2023. (We have our first trip planned and booked for March!). I also want more time with our family.
I’m single so my big want for 2023 is to get engaged and get married
To feel better. My husband and I joke that the moans and groans coming from our bedroom now are for entirely different reasons than they used to be. None one told us it was gonna be like this, lol! Having autoimmune diseases is a drag, literally!
I have so many ideas for side hustles. My big want is to execute at least one of those ideas next year! Thanks for doing these giveaways. Merry Christmas!!!
I would hope 3023 brings less health issues for both my husband and myself. I wish to be a little less in debt. And finally be able to spend more quality time with family.
I want to take care of myself better in 2023 – I fall into old patterns again and again.
I want to be healthier and win to the Lottery.
My want for 2023 is for my husband of 42 years to be able to start a new radiation treatment that got FDA approval this year. He has had radiation and chemo treatments. They didn’t work. The cancer is spreading. This is his last chance. He was in the hospital (on my 60th birthday & his 62nd) for a month. He is home and I am helping him stay strong enough to make it to treatment day. Thank you. God Bless.
If want better health.
Hi, thanks again for these opportunities.
My wish for 2023 is to continue to succeed in my Education degree, graduate with honours and get hired with the Calgary Board of Education in 🇨🇦.
I want to be a little bit selfish in 2023 and put some of my self-care needs first for a change. My husband has been so ill in 2022 that literally my every waking moment this year has been focused on caring for him, getting him to and from medical appointments, staying with him in the hospital, working myself to the edge of a stress-filled panic attack at work, and trying to make ends meet financially with all of our medical expenses and basic survival. That’s what I want in 2023 – to not just survive but to LIVE.
a healthy family next year
This year I want my whole family to stay healthy!
Great health.
My want is to work less. I love my job and the people I work with but I put in more hours than I should and say yes to taking on more tasks too much. I’m afraid I’m going to burn out.
My big want is to lose weight.
To buy a new home with land for the animals and gardens. A place where the kids can roam and the hubby can hunt.
My big want is to take control of my health.
I won’t get better but I can at least stop any more damage to my body…So I need to look after myself without feeling guilty.
Merry Christmas and Thankyou so much for the chance. xx
My big want is building my own library! & buying some new books to add to it! There are deff gonna be some of your in there!
I want to try to think before i speak. I say what i think and it is always truthful and sometimes I should really keep mouth closed.
My big wish is that my mother remains healthy after a stint in the hospital!
My big want for 2023 is to finally buy my own place 😊
Health & happiness for family and friends!
My big want is to buy a house. We just moved to Napa and just rented, since we’ve never been here and don’t know the area. Also, houses are expensive in CA!! Hopefully prices go down so it’s more affordable.
My biggest want of 2023 is just for me, my loved ones and everyone in this world to be safe, happy and healthy! Especially after these last few years we all deserve some cheer and a great year! Thank you for taking the time to do something so wonderful! I had so much fun participating everyday. I truly wish you a fantastic and successful season and I really hope those who win enjoy and get a bit of extra happiness added to their holidays!
My big want is For Peace on Earth and my husband to have good health and I would love to have the job I really want.

Happy Holidays! Thanks for the opportunity!
I have so many wants for next year, seriously, the list just keeps growing. I have big goals for my business, I started a book and I want to finish it, prioritizing my health and self care over the demands of others, but that just a continuation of this year where my goal was to stop giving a fuck about other peoples opinions so I just want to keep that going. My biggest one by far though is to finally become a mom/get pregnant. This is the one that’s the hardest because it’s the thing I have the least control over, but we’ve been trying for 3 years and each year gets a little harder then the last when I make it to Christmas and I still haven’t been able to become a mom. But since this year was my no fucks given year, my health has never been better and my stress has never been lower so send all the good vibes and prayers, cause I’m ready to be a mom, whether it means I get pregnant or if it means we get approved for adoption.
I want to be fearless in 2023. At my age, you would think I wouldn’t let others opinions hold me back, but it does. I need that I don’t give a f**k courage. If Die Hard can take place during Christmas and be considered a holiday film, then 321 is a holiday book!
My big want is for my family and myself to remain healthy and for my new granddaughter to be healthy when she arrives.
My big want 2023 is to marry my Best friend of 12 yrs sometime in the New Year!
My big want is improved health.
So normally we spend $$$ on concert tickets but this year we were hoping maybe to take a cruise somewhere would love to do around our anniversary in February, but I don’t think that’s going to happen so big want!!! Happy Holiday’s thanks for all the wonderful books you bring us!!!
My big want for 2023 is to travel more
I want a normal 2023 without constant stress but I realize that that isn’t normal! LOL! Maybe more time for me to relax.
My big ask for this coming year, is a daunting one, one I have failed at since i got sick. I need to find a way to get my ass in gear on letting go of the things holding me back and embracing the life that I have yet to finish living now. I need to work on my physical and mental health so that I can maintain a good quality of life, and find a way to bring in some extra money so I can pay down my debts. Working on starting an online business. Just a lot of ducks to put in a row right now and it feels as though there so little time to do it before it gets even harder.
Thanks for the chance! Love their story. Happy holidays! 🎄
I wanted My Health Issues Taken Care Of But For A 2nd Year My Doctor Won’t Help Me So next year will Start with A New Doctor

We have saved up for this and we’re almost to our goal!! I need the ability to use the garage for its intended purposes, to store and access toys for my grandsons, and have space for a small workshop. It will be a bit pricy, but I’m a bargain shopper. Champaign taste on a beer budget!! Lol
