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.
7. You can also FOLLOW MY BLOG. I will also make a blog post HERE announcing ALL WINNERS on the 14th. If you want to follow this blog there will be a form at the bottom of each post to do that. 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.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
THAT’S IT! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS!
The world is INSANE right now so I’m just trying to spread some cheer and give back to all of you who support me and enjoy the stories I create.

WHY CHOOSE
(SERIES COMPLETE!)
I’ve never been afraid of the dark…but that doesn’t mean I wanted to live in it. And maybe everyone wants what they can’t have, but I should’ve thought it over before I accepted the key and unlocked the door to their forbidden world.
Number One is mostly silent. He watches me with them very carefully. His gaze never wanders. His interest never wanes.
Number Two is mostly gentle. But it’s the other side of him I like best. The wild side.
Number Three is mostly reserved. He refuses to cross the line. Even when I beg.
It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That’s it. That’s all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden.
I just didn’t expect to like them.
Chella has never been afraid of the dark side. But that doesn’t mean she wanted to live there. She should’ve thought it over before she accepted their offer and entered their forbidden world. She knew it would be carnal and erotic. But she never expected to fall in love.
(Narrated by Ava Erickson, Sebastian York, Joe Arden, and Tad Branson)

Some of you have been around so long, we’re just friends now. So I’m very thankful for you guys.

I am thankful for my health and for my dad staying healthy through his prostate cancer diagnosis. That has been a bit of roller coaster for all of us.

My brother, he’s supported me in so many ways from childhood to now. He’s not judgmental, he still calls me out on BS(nicely) He is the best person I know and I’m grateful every day that he has my back.
I am thankful for the opportunities I have living in this county and those who risk their lives to keep it that way!
I am also thankful for my family, friends that have become family and the time I get to spend with them
In the world we live in, sometimes it is difficult to find things to be thankful for. That’s why I choose to be thankful for some of the smallest things that hold more value than anything you can buy. I am thankful that I have a warm roof over my head, 3 wonderful children (now adults) who love me unconditionally, my fur baby who may not be trained, but is most definitely my emotional support soulmate. I am also thankful that, when I walk out my front door, I have the freedom to go wherever I want; the air I breathe is fresh and clean and I am so lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world (in my opinion, of course)
This year I am most thankful for my husband’s health. He’s battling stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma. Every day is a gift.
My family and friends! They’ve given me endless support through all my medical issues!
I’m thankful for my family and my dog and cat (I’d be lost without Bonnie and clyde), I’m also thankful I get to do a job I love – not so much when weather is crap but it beats working for someone else
I’m Thankful for my family, God and good health and books. Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas
for my boyfriend John & my cat Penny.
I am the most thankful for my little family that keeps me going every day. 2023 has been a challenging year, health wise, and I am really feeling my mortality lately which I have never done before. So, I am thankful that I have access to health care/insurance that a lot of people don’t. I am thankful for all the things most people have and don’t think twice about, like the roof over their heads, food on the table, a car to drive. We are truly blessed, and I give thanks every single day for all of it.
I am thankful for every day, for my family, my fiancé and my friends. My Fur baby and my job (that I actually enjoy!) and for being able to mostly pay the bills lol. I could go on, but I’m just thankful for this life of mine and wouldn’t trade it for anything!
I am the most thankful for my Husband. He is my rock, my person, my support, comfort, help, partner in everything and very best friend. He is my everything. 🥰🥰
I’m thankful for my friends and family who keep me sane. I’m thankful that my father was a saver and taught us kids to save so that I was able to retire at 55 and enjoy my retirement.
My family, my animals and the life my husband and I live.
I’m most thankful for my health. I watch my mom and husband struggle with pain and illness on a continuing basis. It pains me that they have to go through that. But I am thankful I can be there for them.
I am most thankful for getting to spend so much time with my family
I am deeply thankful to the doctors and nurses of the NHS , and to my family and friends who have been incredible over the last year.
I’m so thankful for my family, they are my everything, for my life , for having the opportunity to do what I love that is spending time with my love ones and for being able to help others
Happy Holidays
Thanks
Martha L

Happy Holidays!
I have a lot to be Thankful for My family #1, and all the support they show each other every day. We’ve had some trying times and have pulled through. Definitely praying for a better year next year.
I love this series that you showcased today….Taking turns…one of my favorite…I am very thankful for my family, my husband who is my partner, soulmate and our children…So thankful for living in a country that is not in war….however, also disturbed by all the divide that is going on…I am thankful for authors who are so creative in giving us readers their gift every day.
I’m thankful for my family and my friends

I am thankful for everything I have my family especially
My family and friends. After the most trying last couple years they have been my rock. Also everyone in this reading group. You guys keep me going as well.
I’m most thankful for mine and my family’s health.
I’m extremely grateful for my mum and sister they mean the world to me. I’m also thankful for my dog. ❤️
Most thankful for authors and their books. Why? As an editor, it provides my job and income but as an avid reader, it allows my mental health an escape to better cope with reality when it dips. I have persistent depressive disorder so reading has saved me more times than I count.
I’m thankful for my family and my cats.
I am thankful for opportunities I got to learn and grow this year. For example learning to drive a bus and being able to drive a bus just in general is huge I never thought I would be driving. Juat super thankful for opportunities to learn new things.
I am grateful for my wonderful daughter.
My husband and my job ❤️
I am thankful for my Grandchildren. I am thankful for my good health and for my families good health.

My kids, hands down.
My husband and my son. This year was hard because my dad passed away unexpectedly in June. They stood by me through the hard times.❤️ Thanks for the chance!❤️
I am grateful for my family and friends.
I’m most thankful for my family, and not in that obligatory, cheesy way either. Hubs is a seriously great partner in all ways. He is a grumpy bastard, old punk rocker to the rest of the world and a cinnamon roll hero at home. His whole focus is taking care of us.
My two boys.. well, we didn’t actually raise them. We just hung out and made sure they didn’t wander too far and then got out of their way. They are very smart, kind, funny guys. I love hanging out with them. They are cool people. They are going to make excellent partners! I will never hit the lottery. I won in the family lottery.
I’m thankful for my wonderful family. I am so proud of my two grown children and my precious grandchildren who make me so happy.
I’m thankful for my health. My family and friends. I am thankful to have this amazing book community and all the amazing people I have become friends with. Like you said, I may have only met a few in person some I am very close to
I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for me children, their health and growth. I am thankful for my husband and our relationship that we are constantly working on. I am thankful that I have a great job that I love. I am thankful for my family and friends. I am also thankful for writers that continue to share their stories that provide me with new worlds to escape into, that challenge my thinking at times and provide me with a ton of enjoyment.
First of all Thank You Julie for this amazing giveaway opportunity! I look forward to this every year. I am truly blessed. I’ve worked regularly since I was 18 and am almost ready to retire. I’ve had all of the necessaries in life. I’m not well off but I’m content. I have a wonderful family and great friends. Even some good online friends. And I have time to read and imagine stories and worlds all I want. 🥰
I’m thankful for my family and our health, my cats, books and coffee.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!!!
I am thankful for my family 🖤🖤🖤
I am thankful for my family
I am most thankful for my family.
I’m thankful for a husband who supports my love of books (and signings) and supports me completely emotionally and mentally. Acceptance of who I am just as I am is a gift I’m always grateful for. I’m thankful for the friends who stand by me and never judge.
I’m thankful that my mum still lives in a 4 bedroom house and we (hubby, myself and 13 and 15 yr old daughters) were able to stay with her when our landlord decided to sell and we couldn’t find another rental. And that we were able to take our dog and one cat, and our other cat was able to stay with my aunty and uncle. We not only had a roof over our heads but didn’t need to surrender our pets like so many people are having to and it honestly would have broken us. Ended up being 5 months before we got a place and we’re very happy here. Beautiful house.
I just started a driving job transporting disabled people with various disabilities. Some can’t talk or see or walk or have seizures or are completely wheelchair bound. They are all great people and I’m enjoying getting to know them. I’m loving this new job but it also makes me grateful for my health and for my families. Also my dog was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive cancer. He’s been with us for 10 years so I’m grateful to have had him all this time and will enjoy every moment we get to have together. Love your loved ones everyone ❤️
I’m most thankful for the newfound connection with my partner. Learning to be parents together and be closer than we ever have been before. 😍
I am definitely most thankful for my family. My Husband is lucky to be alive after his work truck accident and my kids have always been my happy place but more so during the trials we have faced this year while my husband is going through his physical therapy and surgery recovery.
I am most thankful for my family.
I’m thankful for everything I have. My kids and husband. We may not have a lot but there are people out there that are in worse shape than we are. We have. A home, lights, heat and food. So much to be thankful for everyday.
Hands down, my kids. They have been my rock through so much . We’ve been through so much but as a family we made it through. I couldn’t have done it without them ❤️
I am most thankful for my mom. She has battled some serious health problems this past year and I am so thankful she is still here with me.
After surviving being rear ended by a semi truck and suffering a severe traumatic brain injury 17 years ago, I am most thankful for my family and my health. Although I face challenges and pain every day, I was still able to experience my children growing up and the birth of my first grandchild.
Healthy happy kids and husband!
I am thankful for my health. Had a slight scare earlier this year. I am thankful I still have my mom and that I am able to help her with what she needs. I am thankful for my family and friends. Merry Christmas!
I’m thankful for my family
My family and my furbabies.
I am most thankful that I was able to get my female cat spayed at a discount. That’s about it.
Like so many, I am most thankful for my family. I have 3 beautiful sons aged from 30 to 10, a supportive hubby who is legally blind and losing more vision each year. My parents, who have lived 2500 miles aways for 18 years finally are living less than 2 miles away. I am so happy to have them all!
I’m thankful for my kids, my health, my (many) rescued pets and that I live in a beautiful, fairly tolerant city. I’m so thankful that audio books were invented so I can work and listen at the same time, and that Julie has some of the BEST narrators ever.
I’m thankful for my son in law and daughter who excitedly invited me to live/stay in their home after leaving my soon to be ex husband of 33 years
I am thankful for my three daughters. I prayed to God I would have three girls, and I feel so blessed that I have my “Little Women”.
There’s an easy answer to this one for me – I’m most thankful for my husband and the fact that he is currently healthy – he had major stomach surgery twice just over 10 years ago for Crohn’s disease/Ulcerative Colitis, and during the second surgery I very nearly lost him. We’ve been together for 37 years, since we were in our late teens, and have a beautiful daughter – our relationship is so strong, we describe each other as soul mates – we can almost read each other’s minds and I am just so thankful that he is still here by my side every day – I count my blessings all the time ☺️
I am thankful for a job that allows me to make ends meet as this has not always been the case in my life.
I am most thankful for my Mom. She has ALWAYS been present. I am thankful for my daughter, the roof over my head, oh and my cats!
This was the easiest question of all. God and my family!!💕💕💕💕
I am thankful for my family and friends
I am thankful for my family and friends. A person couldn’t have a better group for support. I’m thankful that I worked hard to get a degree, and I can totally live comfortably in my retirement years. My parents taught me to plan ahead, and I will be forever thankful.
I am thankful for the people in my life
Truly I have a lot to be thankful for. Husband and kids…roof over my head, a decent job…. Honestly I suffer from depression and this last couple of months have been the worst, however I have been sharing daily glimmers with my long time friend…who sees me… and sees right through the mask I show the world. Im thankful for these damn glimmers. Even when I wanted to give up because I just couldn’t see any…she would not let me.
My family and all they do to help me out whether it’s grocery shopping or helping out with things around the house when my RA flares up.

I am so thankful for my husband, children and grandchildren. They all make each day so very worth it for me.
I’m most thankful for my mom. ❤️ Even at 56 years old, I don’t know what I would do without that wonderful woman. My dad died right before turning 50 to brain cancer and my brother died 2 years ago tomorrow three months shy of 50 due to cancer. It’s just the two of us left. She’s been through so much and yet she’s still there for me day in and day out. She is what I’m most thankful for.

I’m thankful for a wonderful husband who works his ass off so our family can have food and shelter and allows me to be home for our children, and grandson.
I am also thankful for some kickass authors who write amazing stories!!!
I am most thankful for my family and friends.
Tbh, I’m a fairly pessimistic person & Thanksgiving this year actually fell on the 4th anniversary of my father’s passing, but … I’m (seriously) thankful that my present nerve problems aren’t nearly as painful as the last two times this occurred. Those were excruciating & actually this started that way but no longer so (God willing) I’m at least not in that sort of pain. I’m thankful that, no matter what is happening with her, I still have one parent left. I love her to pieces & I’m grateful to have her in my life. I’m also thankful for my sisters, their partners, children, pets that add up to my remaining nuclear family as well as my stepsisters, their 11 kids & 16+ grandkids (to date) all of whom are presently living in Israel. Altho 6 of the kids are presently fighting in the war- 2 directly in Gaza- we have been lucky so far and I remain more than grateful every day that nothing happens to any one of them during this terrible time. Indeed, I’m thankful that while they are directly touched by the war, they have not lost a family member (altho they know numerous families who have) & I pray every night for this to continue. In half an hour we are having a special ceremony for my stepfather’s Yardzeit [by the Jewish calendar; he passed away on Christmas Day 2011 to me bc I’m not Orthodox like them] and I’m thankful that my mother still remains a part of this incredibly large family and truly was/remains the grandmother to the 11 grandchildren, most born after she married their grandfather. I think it helps her to have such a large loving family around, even if it’s done by Zoom!!
I am most thankful for my family
I am thankful for the outcomes of all the trials and tribulations we have had this year. From family members being sick with various ailments to my fur baby being extremely sick, we have somehow made it through the year so far.
I am so thankful for my hubby. He works so hard to make a wonderful life for us. With me not working it has been put all on his shoulders. Plus the support to finish my schooling. The man is honestly my hero.
I am most thank ful for my family and friends.
Final day…time passes so dang quickly! Thanks for all the fun, Julie! I’m most thankful for family, health, home, job, and friends. Always!
Easy, to be alive and to be married.
Authors. Without authors and all the imaginary worlds and characters they create I wouldn’t have an option to escape the real world.
My family
I am thankful every day for the Blessing I have received and continue to receive. This year, myself and our family were thankful that our twin daughters both had successful, uneventful pregnancies after both having difficulty at the beginning. We now have two more grandchildren to add to our loving family.
It’s been a very rough & expensive year. I’m glad it’s almost over with so we can start fresh next year. I’m thankful we made it through the hurdles of life. Family is now healthy and house is still standing.
That my kids are both healthy and happy .
Family. I know you’ve heard me say it a million times but they give untold hours of joy and just fill my heart up. They also make me laugh more than anything on earth.
I am so thankful for my family, my friends, my job, and my health!
My friends – especially my book friends. They showed up for me in a big way this year when my personal life imploded. I’ll spend the rest of my days paying that forward.
I’m thankful for my family; been a bit of a rough year but we are soldiering through together ❤️
Thankful for my health and life in general. I have a safe home, a good job, and the freedom to read as much smut as I want!
I am most thankful for my little family. If you had told me how much my family would have grown a couple years ago, my head would have exploded. I was a workaholic and very rarely did I have any down time for more than a day here and there. Now I am a stay at home mom, with a wonderful son I never imagined I would have and I somehow have 2 cats and a mini dachshund to hang out with all day.
I’m thankful for this life I get to live everyday with my husband of 32 years, two beautiful children, 2 grandchildren with a third on the way and to be surrounded by the best friends and family!
Hope you have a blessed Christmas!
The love and support of my family and friends. And the new friends I made this year.
I’m thankful for my family and friends, my health and for authors like you who write the words that make beautiful stores that I get to read and enjoy.
I’m most thankful for my family and to have so many of them near me throughout the year!
My family. I know that is the most common answer, but my family stepped up for me in. Big way this summer. My dad and uncle built my whole addition this summer so I wouldn’t have to pay a contractor. My dad is always there any time I need anything and I am beyond thankful!
I’m most grateful for everything right now. We have a roof over our heads, food in our cupboards and my husband and daughter and I have never been closer. She’s graduating soon and he’s returning to work in January so everything’s looking and feeling really good. Knock on wood, LOL!
Most thankful for being able to wake up in the Morning and for all of my blessings.
Can I just be thankful for everything? There are so many things that are good in my life. I’m most thankful that my daughters have made a choice to live near to us so that we can be close to them and their families. We can be together and support each other without distance limiting us. I’m also thankful for the love and support of my husband. I’m very thankful that there are treatments for my cancer that keep me living and able to enjoy my life because life is good.
I have to add that this book blew me away. It was my first RH and I went in with trepidation but I never thought of putting it down. Very well done, Julie!!
Happiest of Holidays to you and your family and your non human family. Thank you for these wonderful giveaways and for writing for us!
I’m most thankful for my family. I have 5 sisters and 1 brother. I have several brothers-in-law and several nieces and nephews. I also have my dog Loki. I feel not only thankful for them but extremely lucky too!☘️
I am thankful for my family and friends. They all keep me going. My grandkids amaze me everyday and I am most thankful for them.
Side note…Taking Turns is favorite series. 😍
I’m thankful for a happy, healthy family.
I am most thankful for my husband and his family. We retired and moved to Florida near his cousins. It is great to have family near by that are such awesome people
I’m thankful for family, friends that have become family, friends, and for you for doing this give a way.
I am thankful for my husband (he is the best husband ever), my family and friends. We have a nice home and great neighbors. We do not have children, but that is probably good as it allowed me to take care of our parents for 30 years. First my parents then my husband’s mom. We kept them in their homes as long as possible. Then what ever was needed after that. We also tried to help out with this aunt and uncle. I am also thankful for you and your talents in writing. Your books allow me an escape when I need it. Thank you for doing all this work for the Christmas Give Away. I appreciate you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!!!!!
I am thankful for my 2 children and my husband. We are all healthy and doing well. We are bleesed to live in a country which is save. The last 6 years we had a lot of family drama, so the outside world seemed to be far away. This year, as we are finding our new normal, all the depressing things happening around the world are starting to register fully. So I find myself often beeing thankful for a lot of little things that are normal for us but a lot of people around the world don’t even have them.
I am most grateful for my family. I am so proud of the young men my sons have become. They are respectful, responsible and driven to succeed in a balanced way. My husband is also an amazing man!
I am a big believer in “you see what you seek”, so I am intentional in recognizing blessings big and small every day. We even have a family tradition that at dinner each night we take turns sharing our “3 good things”. It is too easy to get swept up in negativity, and I wanted to teach the kids (young adults now) to look for the good, appreciate the small kindnesses that everywhere, and be that kindness for others. That being said, my family is what I am most thankful for. I was blessed with amazing parents, my husband of 30 years is still my best friend, and I was given the gift of being a mom after many years of fertility issues. We are currently healthy, have food on our table, and a home to keep us safe and warm, so very blessed indeed.
I am most thankful for my family, in the last year I’ve lost my sister, dad and mother so I’m very thankful for the family I have left
I am very thankful for having a supportive family…its been a rough year for me and I couldn’t have gotten thru it without their support.
I am so thankful for my family. My kids, my husband, my mom.
I’m so incredibly thankful for my kids and grandkids. Life would not be the same without them
I’m thankful for my kids, my grands, my friends, my job, my life in general.
I am so thankful for my supportive group of family and friends, for my grandkids that bring me tons of smiles and laughs, and for the books that being me an escape when I needed.
I’m most thankful for my wonderful husband
I’m most Thankful for my grandchildren, after my husband of 32 years passed last year I went into a really dark place, I lost my husband, and my home. I had to move in with my daughter who is single and then 8 month old grandson because I’m in a wheelchair and need help with some things and can’t live alone. And without my grandson and helping care for him I don’t know if I would have made it. he gave me a purpose and now he is 2 and my daughter is expecting again in June of 2024 and she says she still needs my help even though her life is changing and will continue having me live with her..
Oh most definitely the health of my family. The fact that Mom turned 83 and Dad turned 89 last month and that everyone has remained in good health and happiness.
I am thankful that my son is coming home to visit for the holidays! I’m so excited to see him again!
Surviving the year through many medical complications
I am most thankful for my family!! We just had a really big scare with my dad, he was in the hospital for over week and they couldn’t figure out for a while while he just fell out. Walking in the ER and seeing him collapsed in a wheel chair hanging over the side was terrible and scary! But thankfully he is on the mend and the VA (veterans affairs) is keeping a close eye on him since he is home. So most definitely family- parents, kids, husband, grandparents, ect. ❤️
I’m most thankful for my husband of 35 years. I’m also thankful for my children, in-laws, sisters and friends.
I’m so very thankful for the life that I get to live. I’m finally in a good place in my life. The kids are grown and hubby and I are now able to do things that we couldn’t before. Yesterday was my son’s final day in college and I’m so happy for him. My daughter has one more year left and she’s doing well. My mom is healthy and living her best life so I have much to be grateful for!
I’m also happy that I get to experience this journey with you Julie, you have a dangerous mind but in a good way. Your writing is simply exceptional! Looking forward to a fantastic 2024
My family for sure. They are always there for me no matter what. I am so thankful to have them on my side 🙂
I’m most thankful for my mom. She’s always been on my side. She’s not well and may not be here much longer. I’m grateful I was able to go help while working. Took my laptop to her house so I could be there.
I am thankful for many things, but mostly my faith, family, friends, that I have a job, shelter, peace of mind and my health 😊
I have blessings too many to count tops on the list my kids, husband, dogs, health, friends.
I am most thankful for my grandchildren, they keep me young at heart and I love it! Also, I am very thankful to have my dog for another year. He has cancer and a fighter. We are blessed that we can afford the medications he has to take to help him get through it. Thank you book world for letting me escape from this hardship. It definitely saves me!!!
Christmas blessings to you & yours.
I’m most thankful for my family. I have an amazing husband, 3 children and 4 precious grandchildren.
I am very thankful for my family and our health. In our busy day to day life it’s easy to take it all for granted and i try everyday to take a moment and be thankful for it all!
My husband being cancer free
My fur babies and my husband
I am thankful to have my children and grandchildren all close by. They are all healthy and happy which is all I have ever wanted for them.
My family and furbabies
I am thankful for having family and good friends every day.
I am most thankful for my family, especially my husband he works so hard and travels a lot for work and isn’t home much but when he is he cooks and takes care of the kids and helps with everything. My kindle is my also top of my list for thankful things 😂 it is my escape and I don’t know what I would do with books to take me away!!
I am most thankful to live in a place without war. Last year my husband was at the US embassy in Ukraine, helping organize corporate and government donations. Every single day he called me from the bomb shelter in the basement as attacks hit. I cannot imagine what the civilians during war go through. You see it on the news and you read about it, but until it is you, I don’t think it can really be understood. Not just the attacks, but seeing your home, your neighbors and all the things that make up your entire life slowly being destroyed. I am SO very grateful for peace.
I’m thankful for my health and my family. How my dad sacrificed to give me a stable life. I’m thankful I met my husband of 24 yrs and have 2 healthy children. I’m thankful for the employment I’ve had so I can always provide for my family. I’m ultimately thankful for God who sent his only son to die on the cross for my sisn so I can have everlasting life in heaven.
I am thankful for every day I wake up. I abused drugs when I was younger and put my body through hell. I’m thankful that I had the support of family and a friend who helped me get out of that. I never thought I’d still be alive. And I’m thankful for my husband and friends for helping me out during this rough patch I’m going through. Have a safe and happy holiday season Julie!
It’s going to sound cliche but the longer you live the more thankful you become for your health and the health of those you love because you’ve learned just how fast things can go sideways making nothing else matter. I learned that again just recently when my mammogram came back saying I had a mass. That will straighten out anyone’s priorities real quick. It was a long 12 hours before further testing confirmed a benign cyst.
I’m thankful for my health and my annual mammogram. If yours is due, schedule it now. Early detection is everything.
Beautiful! ❤️
I’m thankful for my health and sobriety
My family
I’m thankful my children are healthy. I’m thankful we are relatively safe in the US. I’m thankful that my kids went to a music festival and came home with happy memories. I’m thankful there is always hope for a better tomorrow. I’m thankful that your books can take me away from real life. I’m thankful for your mind and imagination.
The help hubby offered me since I broke my ankle, he’s a gem
My family and good friends that have been here for me through thick and thin.
My family
Im thankful for my family and friends. Thankful for good health. And all the blessings that I receive everyday.
I’m most thankful for the health of my family. Gracias a Dios! We have everything we need.
Of course everybody also wants more but I am thankful I’m able to provide everything we need. ❤️
My family, pets and wonderful job
I am most thankful for my significant other, my friends, family and books, all of these help keep me sane, LOL Also thankful for your generosity and for doing these amazing giveaways. Thanks for the chance!
Happy Holidays to all!
I am thankful for my family
I am most thankful for my family, my health, and my job. I am very fortunate and I know it.
Family and friends, mean the world to me. Followed by books of course ❤️
Like most of the comments, I am thankful for my family. They are here when I need them, and they are step back when I need space.
Thank you for your 12 days give away.
I am thankful that my husband’s health has gotten better, it was a pretty rough year last year but he is doing much better this year.
Most thankful for… my sister winning her battle with cancer this year… things are looking well and I am so happy for her.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays All!
I am so thankful for my wonderful family, a place to live, clothes on my back, food in the fridge. I’m thankful for health insurance and a wonderful doctor who listens to me. And I’m most thankful for all the wonderful authors out there that gives us amazing books to help us get through this thing called life.
Merry Christmas Julie! I am thankful for these wonderful giveaways!
Very well said ❤️❤️
I am most thankful for my family, especially my mom. I couldn’t image my life without them in it. I don’t want to and when I say family, I mean my husband and kids, my mom, siblings and their family and even my aunts and uncles.
I’m most thankful for the time I get to spend with my dad. We both laugh a lot and we just enjoy doing simple things together.
I am most thankful for my family, both 2 legged and 4 legged ones.
Right now I am most thankful for my job. There was a time I wasn’t sure I’d have one and I was super scared, so to feel mostly secure (knock on wood) in mine this year has been a huge relief.
I’m thankful to still have my parents, especially my Mom who has been living with cancer for 3 years +. I’m thankful for my pets; they keep me getting up and going every days. Lastly I’m thankful I’m able to live life on my own terms, something I probably take for granted more often than not.
I’m thankful for waking up everyday. There’s days where I don’t want to…days where I just feel defeated. I struggle with anxiety and depression and feel my mind is always against me. I am also thankful for my family for not giving up on me and my pets for always keeping me grounded. Also, the book community. It may seem chaotic and insane at times, but if it wasn’t for being involved,, I would have no place to escape. Just the little things in life.
Currently being able to spend the holidays in Spain 🥰
I am so thankful for my good health. I had breast cancer and each day I count the blessings of successful treatment. I’m so thankful for my family and that they are all healthy. Get your checkups.
I am thankful I got to hold my Mother’s hand and be by her side when she took her last breathe after her hard battle with Cancer and became an Angel to watch over all of us. It was the hardest thing I ever did letting her go, but I find comfort in knowing I was there beside her. 💔💔💔
I’m very thankful for my family who has been incredibly helpful and supportive during my difficult year.
I am thankful for my loving family. I would say good health but I have had the flu for the last few days. Just look around and see all the beauty the Lord blesses us with that we should be thankful for.
I am most thankful for my family, friends, and pets. This year has been a difficult one for my family and I couldn’t have gotten through the year without them.
I am ALSO very thankful for amazing authors such as yourself who help to keep me sane!
I am Thankful for my husband and son. I’m also Thankful for all the Blessings that God has given us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ❤🎅🎄🎁🎉
My family
I’m thankful for the relationship I’ve gotten to build with my sister and my cousin over the last year.
I am most thankful for my family and that they are healthy and full of love and kindness. Books are the tangible thing I am thankful for. They keep me sane and my imagination working.
I am most thankful for my Mum
God and my family
I hate to be repetitive but I am thankful for my family, the love they give me and show me daily, I m thankful for my dearest and closest friends who standby me no matter what and call me out on my shit when I m being stupid, I am thankful for my job and the opportunity it has provided me to step outside of my comfort zone and take a chance on a new career path. I m thankful for the chance to take on 2024 and all the good, bad, and ugly that is awaiting me in the new year I know I won’t be alone as I conquer 2024 – it’s my year to stand up and deliver and I m thankful I m excited about it
I’m thankful for my family, for indie authors, and that I can still use my hands even though it’s only slightly.
I am truly thankful that I still have my 97 year old father living and well. I am grateful to finally have good health and be happy.
The health and happiness of my family
I am most thankful for my children, who warm my heart Everytime I see their faces 💗 For my hubby who puts up with me, well, more like I put up with him. Lol 😉 And my family. Especially, Dewayne, Jessica, and Christopher. And last but not least, my in laws who I call Mamaw and Papaw. They were a huge help throughout my life and I love all of them dearly 💗

For all the wonderful ppl I have in my life!
My family! Hands down there is nothing more important that FAMILY! I am thankful for them every single day!!
I’m so very thankful for my husband and son.
I agree with so many others who are thankful for authors. Without books to provide alternate realities for me to dip in to for hours each day I would be lost.
My family. The relationship I have with my children is precious and something I treasure and don’t take for granted.
I most thankful for my husband. we are simple people, no big dreams, or wants, as long as I have a roof over my head, food to eat, bills are paid, clothes to wear, I’m happy!
I’m thankful for my kids. They are helping me get through this very difficult grieving process. I am also thankful that I am able to be independent and afford to stay in my home and pay all the bills!!!!
I am most thankful for my mom. Not only is she always there for me, no matter the cause, she is also my best friend and I can talk to her about anything and everything and she listens with non-judgmental ears. She always find a solution to the problem and she’s kind and supportive too. When I recently got sick and had to be hospitalized, going in and out of surgery after surgery, she stepped up and took care of my son and my household for me…no questions asked and without me asking her to. She just knew what had to be done and then did it. She’s awesome and I wouldn’t be the strong, independent woman I am today if she wasn’t the strong, independent woman she is!
I’m most thankful that my family is healthy and happy.
It’s the small things I’m grateful for right now. I’ve been able to hear things I hadn’t been listening for in my relationships. That’s a sum of a long battle.
Wow! That’s tough. I am thankful for the many blessings in my life…family, friends, furbabies, a roof over my head, food on my table, relatively good health, a few bucks in my pocket, and an abundance of books in my library (especially Huss/McClain books). But I am MOST thankful for every new day God gives me to take advantage of all the blessings in my life.
I’d like to add that I’m thankful for the opportunity to enter the 12 Days of Giveaways. Win or lose, it’s been fun. But each day, when I see what book is being featured, I think “Oh, I need to read that again!”
I am most thankful for my children. I have triplet boys that are 14 years old. They are the light of my life and I am so thankful and blessed for every day that I get to spend with them. They make everything worthwhile. ♥️
I’m grateful that I’m here to help my family and friends. What I’m most grateful for is their support, confidence in me and their love.
My family from my 98 year old dad to my 2 year old granddaughter. They all mean the world to me and our health.
Most thankful for the people I know
I’m a complainer by nature so even when I try to reign it in I still sometimes manage to complain about little things. But when I sit back and think rationally, I realize that I’m really blessed to have what I have. It’s not a lot, but I’m able to maintain the basics (home, vehicle, sustenance, relatively good health). That’s what I’m thankful for.
My relationship with my kids
Thankful for family, true friends, and being alive.
I’m thankful for our health. My 54 yo husband had a heart attack last year and we’ve been on a health journey. We are both in the best shape and the healthiest we’ve been in our life! And his heart has fully recovered!
My family, friends and health.
I am thankful for my family and friends. How supportive and loving they are.
I’m most thankful for my husband and kids.
My kids and my dog, even when they are all on my last nerve. Happy Holidays!
I’m thankful for my health, my family (including my husband) & for being retired! I’m also thankful for all the amazing authors out there that provide amazing & well written books that I thoroughly enjoy reading!
I’m thankful for my family, the best friends a gal can have and the opportunities/challenges that come with each new day.. even when I’m failing like a boss.
I’m grateful for my awesome husband, who’s the best partner I could have had for the last 28+ years. P.S., I love the Taking Turns series; it was the first series of yours I stumbled upon. In fact, I think it’s time for a reread! I adore your work, Julie!
I’m most thankful, for my family and friends. Also thankful for your amazing books which I use as a form of escapism when I need a break from the everyday slog. Happy Christmas.
For my partner and my family.

That my family and friends accept me for who I am and all the crazy that might come with it. We’re all a little out there imo so when you can find your tribe, keep them close.
Thanks so much and cheers xx
I am most thankful for my dogs, Maggie the psycho Labrador, and Dingo, the sweetest, most devoted rescue dog that’s ever lived. Maggie is my Velcro girl and Dingo is my mother hen. She takes care of me and my husband and checks on us if we’re not in the same room with her. She’ll stick her heart in the bathroom and, after verifying that we’re ok, she will go lie down again.
I am thankful for my family. But I am also thankful for books and everyone who writes them
I am so thankful for my family. I am blessed everyday with such love and support.
I am most thankful for second chances, and the fact that every single day is a new opportunity to completely change your life.
Life, the universe and everything
Thankful for my family and friends, and being blessed to wake up each day.
My family and friends.
I’m grateful for my family, yes, but I’m mostly grateful for my husband. We’ve been married since I was 20 and he was 21. We were young and very broke. I came into the relationship with a baby boy, and since day one, my husband has loved him and cared for him as if he was his own. We had a second child and we suffered financially for years. I was a “pole artisan” and he worked for different cell phone companies through the years. Right before we had our third child, he started the electrical apprenticeship and worked his easy up to Forman. Later we both went back to college and he earned his Bachelors and Master degrees, and later moved is to Missouri for a wonderful career opportunity. He’s now a Senior PM for the largest electrical construction company in St. Louis. Since then, I stopped dancing (before we left IL) and he has supported us financially since. We’ve had some rough times, but no matter what, we have never gone without things that were needed. He has worked his butt off to show our children that hard work can pay off and things that you want, take time. My life was forever changed when I met him 29 years ago, and I don’t know where I’d be today without him. He’s my soul and my heart.
I’m thankful for my family and health. And also YOUR books which allow me to escape into another world when mine gets to be too much.
I am most thankful that this year is almost over.
I am thankful for my good health and family’s good health.
I am thankful for my family and the opportunities we’ve been given.
I’m most thankful for my wife and family
The Taking Turns box set were the first books of yours that I read. I’ve been hooked ever since! I’m thankful for my family and friends who are part of what makes life so enjoyable.
I am thankful for each day
I am most thankful for my family
My parents who took me in when I became disabled from Lyme Disease. I don’t know where I would be without them!
I’m thankful for supportive family. Having good support can make all the difference no matter what is going on.
My found family!!
I am so thankful that my mom is healthy again. She had cancer and treatments last year in October through the week of Christmas. Then in Christmas Day she had a bad headache and had a massive brain bleed. She was flown to a trauma center 2 hours away and spent 24 days there then transferred to our small hospital for three weeks for PT and OT. She is now cancer free and doing excellent with the other. It just has been a rough year with follow ups and appointments.
Family. We are 4 generations when we gather. Very blessed.
My family, friends and a healthy, happy (most of the time) teenager.
I’m thankful for my family- I couldn’t make it through the winter without them
I’m just thankful for so much. Family, love, books, shoes and all of the wonderful people in my life. I’m thankful for the vacation time I’ve earned to be able to spend time with all of my people and be there for all the special moments.
There is so much to be thankful for. I am most thankful for my family, they really keep me going

My family and my friends.
I’m so thankful for my daughter. I spent years trying to get pregnant, but it never worked out. I’m so thankful that she came in to our lives at 18 months old and completed our family. The past year and a half with her has been the best time of my life.
I’m most grateful for my health. With what’s going on in the world, it’s something I’ve learned not to take for granted.

I’m thankful for my health during retirement- and my husband
I am thankful for what remains of my family. I lost my immediate family 4 years ago and only have my kids and husband now. I miss my Mom, Sister and Brother so much but know how fortunate I am to still have my husband and kids.
Thankful that I still have a job I love after almost 30 years (childcare.)
I am grateful for my family and great friends that are like family
I am so thankful for loving family- they have been my support system as I come up on the 9th anniversary of the passing of my sweet daughter in a few days. I couldn’t have survived that without them. I am so blessed.
Thankful that my husband is happy in his new job even though it takes him away from home for weeks. Also that my kids are doing well for themselves.

I’m thankful for life. My family and especially my grandmother who will be 90 in January.
Family, friends, my health and my fur baby 🩷
I’m thankful for my family, my health, my job, and my friends.
My family and my health.
I am most thankful for my husband, son and grandson. And of course the rest of my family. My husband has been by my side and my best friend for so many years I couldn’t even imagine life without him. I am grateful that he loves to laugh as much as I do and love as hard as I do. Oh, and our sex life is so incredible even after 35 years together. I think it’s better now than ever. I contribute a lot of that to the books I read because it’s made me open up to so many fun adventures.
What I am most Thankful for would be My Family. We have My Dad who is 98 years young. He gets around better than me. I have 2 Brother, 4 Sisters who all have a handful of kids. I have 1 Daughter and a Phenomenal Son in law who gave me 4 fabulous Grandchildren ( know as the Grands). We are spread out across the country but home is in NJ. We visit up in Jersey at least once a year for my Dads Birthday. But we still all go to Graduation, Weddings and any big celebrations. The family home is big enough to hold most of us even if its on blow up mattresses. There is nothing like getting 27+ people together for a week or two and trying to come up with lots of things to keep everyone occupied and having a fantastic time. I’m especially thankful that I live in Florida and get My dad during the winter months, and My Grands and nieces and nephews during spring breaks and summer breaks. So thats whatI Thankful for.
Thank you for this fantastic 12 days of Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🌲🤶
Not a unique answer but I’m thankful for my husband and two teen daughters. My husband is a great guy and I have two thoughtful, kind, good girls. I’m so thankful for them and after losing my mom a couple years ago, we try to let each other know often.

Also our three beautiful daughters who are rocking their occupations as girl bosses!! 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life, 2 son-in-laws taking up space but without them sharing their seed, I wouldn’t have the Light in my life!
Super grateful for my job and the wonderful team I have they do amazing work and make me so proud to have them working for me!
Also a little brown nosing here, I am thankful for your imagination Julie, your books have a way of keeping me sane by allowing me to visit your fantasy worlds, without feeling like I am totally off my fucking rocker!
I had a heart attack 3 days after Christmas of 2021. I was 52 years old. I am thankful that I recovered and can get out of bed on my own each day. My family rallied around me and made sure all my needs were met. I am so very thankful for my family. No matter what, they love me as much as I love them.
Im thankful that my husband’s cancer has been in remission for 8 years. After the radiation, surgery and chemo, his prognosis was they could keep it at bay for 10 years with injection therapy.
We’re praying for more than 10. 🙏🏻

Thankful for good health. I’ve had a couple of injuries in the past 14 months which have compromised my “good health” standing so it’s given me new appreciation when I’m in my “normal” state…hoping to return to that state soon!
Happy and safe holidays to all the Shrikers!

I know it sounds so corny but for me it is the truth…….being thankful for my family is a no brainer…so of course I am always thankful for them and for putting up with me.
But I am very thankful for books,authors,and narrators..Honestly you have no idea what it is like to have an illness and there is not much you can do to control your pain..But when you open up a book or turn on an audiobook magic happens and some of that pain fades away…If it wasn’t for authors writing these wonderful stories I have no idea what I would do.
They have saved me more times that I can say,just for helping me escape from my life for a few moments.
So in turn I am thankful for my sight and my hearing and the ability to read…
I am also thankful for music…
Thanks so much for the chance. xx xx
I am most thankful for family, especially my adult son. He is absolutely my heart.
My family and friends 🙂 Thanks!
I’m most thankful for the home health aides who make it possible for me to live independently. Theirs is a thankless job with pitiful pay, but without them I’d have no life. They need to be acknowledged more and we need to find more people willing to be CNAs.
Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Holidays!
The Scarf Princess
My health and everybody’s health
I am thankful to be alive. I am thankful to be able to eat again. 2023 was full of GI issues, hospital visits and procedures. My body was completely rejecting food and I literally could not eat. I am so thankful to be able to eat again. The things we take for granted…
It’s a toss up between my family and my animals. When one pisses me off the other always manages to comfort me.

Food on the table, clothes on our backs, roof over our heads, and our health
I am grateful for much. Nobody got hurt when I had an car accident recently. That’s massive. And despite many, many health problems, I’m still vertical and moving. I’m grateful for that every day of my life. I’m grateful for my friends, who nourish my soul. And above all else, I’m thankful for my dog who keeps me company, challenges my thinking, and gives my day to day existence purpose.
Thanks for doing this awesome series of giveaways, Julie!
I am most thankful to my family for always pushing me and making me a better person. My best friend for taking me out of my comfort zone and letting me experience new things. I am also thankful for my nephews who always make me laugh.

I am thankful for my faith, family, and health each and every day. I am very blessed.
I am so thankful for my husband’s extraordinary support through this tough season of life. He is so kind and reminds me that I need to take care of myself (physically, mentally and spiritually) before I can take care of others.
That even though it’s scary to sell my home of 30+ years, I’m so grateful to have many options moving forward. I’m well aware that many do not have the same opportunities that I have.
I feel blessed. This has been a challenging year for my family and extended family. We have experienced 6 deaths, a cancer diagnosis, and an amputation. But through it all, we have been able to love on and support each other. We were able to celebrate love, good health, and job promotions. We know time together is precious and we are putting several get togethers on the calendar. I am thankful for family, friends, love, good health and fun times.
I am most Thankful that my husband is finally doing better after having COVID.

I’m grateful for my best friend, because she has my back and has had it for 30 years. Right now, I have a roof over my head, when it might have been the car, because of her.
I am really grateful and thankful for my two children. We tried for 8yeats and it was only after we gave up that months later did we get pregnant with our first child at 35. Every nurse in the hospital the days our son was born told me he was a miracle. That after the drunk who was also high on drugs driver who hit us head on that it was impossible that I stayed pregnant. That if we wanted a second child we were to go home heal and try immediately to get pregnant again. They were right 13 months later we had baby #2. They will always be the two people I’m most grateful for in our lives.
I’m thankful for my family, I’ve raised 2 amazing son’s who have families of their own, and 2 amazing DIL, family issues with 1 of them but family is everything, 8 grandkids and 1 great grandson, having a job in love in nursing even though coworkers don’t have a lot of compassion, someday I’d love to meet you, I have a sister that lives in Colorado Springs, thank you for the opportunity
My husband and children.
I am thankful every day for my mental toughness and resilience. I am thankful that I somehow find a way to overcome and excel no matter what challenges are placed before me. I am thankful for the man who has loved me with his whole being for 37 years.

I’m most thankful for my family. I am thankful that I met my husband and we are still in love after 14 years and 4 kids together. I’m thankful that my children are healthy and I don’t need to worry about money too much. I’m thankful there is no war where I live and I am free to be who I am and do what I want. I’m thankful for my own health and my ability to enjoy the life. There is actually so much to be thankful for.

My family
Thanks for the chance!
I am most thankful for my family and friends!
My hard working husband and the opportunities we have been given from taking some risks this year
I am most thankful for my family. They have done so much for me it will never be enough to pay them back.
Like everyone … of course I’m thankful for my family, my husband of 20 years. My 2 sons are my world and nothing matters to me more than they do. I’m also thankful for a miserable first marriage – it was in that marriage that I began to act on some of my wildest sexual thoughts so something good came from it besides my first born who is a true gem. My father used to say that life is a roller coaster and the thrill is experienced from it’s highs and it’s lows – there’s no fun in traveling a flat straight line so appreciate the hills and curves when you get them. I enjoy life. I do not believe there is anything after this so I’m living today – if there is an afterlife, I’ll think about that when I get there. I’m passionate about teaching, gardening, and spending time with friends who want to spend it with me. I’m a cup half full, live and let live person. Mean people suck and negative people just need to turn off the TV, throw some spice in their sex, and eat more chocolate. I doubt I will ever find myself at a “book signing” or event of that nature (and I’m glad to see you don’t spend much time there either), but if you are ever in Virginia and need a cozy place to stay for a night, the spare room is open and the fireplace outside always has room for one more bitch who wants to ride the high! Life is good and it’s better with sex toys ladies! Make sure you’re getting some for Christmas!
I am most thankful for my husband & daughter. They are my rock and keep me going. I also have my parents and it’s hard with them not being in the same state anymore. I guess you can say over all it is family I am thankful for. I’m also thankful for my friends as well – the ones that are close.
My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of July. We are so lucky it was found when it was. I am so extremely thankful that it rained on July 27th so he couldn’t go golfing and instead went to the pool with my mom and their friends there could all see in the bright pool lights that he was yellow. And they hardcore pushed him to immediately go to urgent care. He was admitted and diagnosed the same day. We are also extremely grateful for hearing about the world renown pancreatic cancer program at Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee and that we could get my dad in with the surgical oncologist that the richest of the rich and some of the most powerful people in the world come to for their pancreatic cancer (told to us by the local medical oncologist). It’s still a long road of chemo and radiation before he can have surgery, but we have a 40% chance of him being cured of a disease that used to almost always be fatal. I am so f’ing thankful for all of the tiny things that had to happen to get us to this point. My life changes forever on July 27th. And everything else in my life shifted in perspective.
I am thankful God has given me another year to see my family and friends and for my support group
I am thankful for my little family. My little “never should have happened” boy, and my always there husband.
I’m most thankful for my children. They’re the only reason I’m still here.

I am grateful for my husband 5 kids and 4 have spouses, and my 8.5 grandkids.
My healthy family
I am thankful for every day and for my family and our health, our church.
My sister. She’s my anchor in life, as much as I help her she helps me more
I’m super thankful for my continuing sobriety. It’s been a thought ride but so worth it. Also, all of you in my book world….. you light up my days!!!
I’m thankful for creating a good life for myself, by myself. For so long I wanted to find someone to give me a good life then I realized that’s not how things work, I have to make that for myself. Now I have a beautiful home, a great career, wonderful family and friends. If that dream man comes along that would be wonderful but if he doesn’t, I know how to be happy alone.
Most assuredly, I’m most thankful for my family. We aren’t perfect, but we bring plenty of fun and love to each other.
I am very thankful for my family, God and for every ones good health and the love. I am grateful that I have today, remember tomorrow isn’t promised. Live today to it’s fullest!!!
I’m thankful for my family, my dogs & J. A. Huss books. 😁
I am most thankful for my family. I don’t know how far I would have gotten in my life without them. They are always there when I need them and jump to help if I need it. I love them soo much!❤️
So thankful for my family and a job I love. My kids and daughter in law all adults now so my hubs and I moved on to the inlaws acreage this fall so we can tackle renovations on our house in the city. The 2 younger boys are living there during the mess to attend school and work with access to direct public transportation. Easier than all the driving needed to get there from out of town. Family suppers are so much more fun. Christmas eve and day supper feasts are just around the corner.
I think the main thing I am currently thankful for , with my brain permanently stuck in the affordability mental loop.. is that our house is already paid for. It doesn’t mean we are out if the financial crunch or that the stress feel less constricting, it still does. But knowing that major cost is already covered and there is no mortgage to try and pay off, it is a huge sigh of relief most days. Bills are expensive enough in a houseful with limited incomes. Adding on a mortgage would certainly put us put on the street, and I don’t wish that for anyone, let alone ourselves. Great question! Happy Holidays! 🎄💕
A family that cares about each other
I am most thankful for my health, after a few rough years I seem to be coming out the other end now and I want to continue my healthy lifestyle into 2024 and beyond. I’m also thankful for my beautiful family and the time I get to spend with each and every one of them.
Thank you for the chance to win one of these gorgeous prizes. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
I am thankful for life! I’m healthy for the most part. I have a wonderful husband and family. I’m also blessed with lifelong friends who are extended family.
I am incredibly thankful for my partner and my parents, the three most important people in my life… I am extremely grateful for their unconditional love, kindness, comfort, compassion, and support.
In this crazy world we live in, I am also grateful to each and every person who gives me faith in humanity.
And Julie, I am so very grateful for you, your incredible writing, and the extraordinary way you take the reader (or audiobook listener, like myself), on wonderful journeys and adventures… Thank you for allowing me to escape into the fantastic worlds you’ve created, distracting me from the real world, a world of chronic pain and illness. Thanks also for this awesome giveaway and the chance to win. Wishing you the happiest of holidays!!
I am most thankful for my husband.
Super thankful to still have my mom and dad, and that we live next door to each other. Family is so important. Also, super thankful for my health after a tough 2023. And I am very thankful for your stories, Julie! This one might be my all-time fave! Hope you and yours have a great holiday season and 2024. ❤️
I am most thankful for my siblings, my children and my little Granddaughters.
I’m thankful for the good health my family & close friends are enjoying. It’s been a tough year so looking forward to 2024!
I’m thankful for each day God has given me. Also, my children, family and friends. The people that really stick by you no matter what.
My family. We have really been going through it the last 4 years with both health, car accident & 4 deaths all around same time in the last 4 years. Even now my Dad is dealing with health stuff. So just extremely grateful to have the family I have to lean on each other
I am most thankful for my overall health this year. I have an autoimmune disease and was recently able to get on a better therapy plan that has improved my quality of life immensely! I have been able to enjoy watching my son in all his sporting events (all outdoors and year round) with nearly zero pain or discomfort.
My mother had a rough summer. I’m so grateful that she’s made a complete recovery and that she’s still with us! My niece got married this year and my husband’s nephew is getting married next year. And my other niece is due to have her baby any day now! Healthy family is a wonderful thing!
I am most thankful for my health and my family’s health. The last few years have been a little rough but we are all here and doing OK now.
My family and friends ❤️
I am most thankful for my family, my career, people in my life who support me during difficult time and every day I live in this wonderful country
I’m thankful for my life. Had some really bad years but I feel that I’m make a slight difference to the good. Depression, anxiety are nothing to joke about.
It was really hard yo ask for help when my parents just wanted to sweep it under the rug so to say. So finally asking is a good thing. Everything was going good until the last few weeks I spiraled out of control. But working with people/groups have helped.
Just really hate talking about myself!
My family
My family. That my daughter married a good guy and now has her own house. The food on my table the clothes on my back, the roof over my head. My church family. There are so many bad things in the world but I always try to be thankful for the life I have.
Hi Julie, I’m so thankful for my son. After so many tries with IVF I finally have my kid. So I’m also thankful for science or it wouldn’t have happened!
I am most thankful for my family! My sons are such a blessing especially since it took a lot to have them. My husband for always supporting me and having my back no matter what. Lastly, I am so thankful that I am alive and able to watch my children grow. Since I was diagnosed with a heart condition a couple of years ago and almost died 3 times. So each breath I take and each morning I wake up I feel blessed and thankful!!!
So many wonderful people in my life. Friends, family, work family and a new granddaughter next spring!
I’m most thankful for my health. I hope I and my family continue to stay healthy. There have been some health scares, so I am thankful that for now we are all healthy.
Family, friends, health, happiness and books!!!❤️
I am thankful that my husband’s cancer is in remission for now. As you said MS Huss, I am also thankful for everything, from family to friends, to every good thing on this great earth.
My family and friends that are there unconditionally my father in law passed away on 11-28-23 and it showed me who’s really there

I am thankful for my health and my family.
I am like you, grateful everyday for many things. At this very moment, I am thankful for my sweet and beautiful cat, who makes me laugh and smile many times a day. She just jumped up as I started to type, walked across my computer, and sat in my lap. I love her!
I’m thankful for my family.
I’m grateful for the people and things we probably take for granted more often than not. My family, good friends and the safe spaces I’ve found on the internet.
I’m grateful for books- to take you away from everyday life and give you, even just a few minutes, to be allowed to dream, to laugh, to cry, to wish.
Most grateful for my son.
I am most thankful for my son. He is an amazing human and I am so proud of him. I am also thankful for my pulmonologist and the ability to work from home. I am thankful for all the pets that I have had an opportunity to share life with. And I am thankful for good books.

I’m most grateful for my husband who works really hard at taking care of me and lets me keep my book habit!!
Also for my wonderful 3grandsons!
I am thankful for my family too, especially my husband, who loves me and my two kids unconditionally. Despite having to work a full time job, he cooks for us (his hobby) and spends quality time with me and the kids. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful life partner and an amazing father to my children. ♡
