Random Act of Kindness - A CONTEST

I would love to read Renita's book. I am always looking for ways to save money, now that I am going to be on disability I need to pinch corners.  I think it would be great to support our fellow Gather members as well.

Yes, I think Renita's would be a good one to read...Thanks for your comment Renee!

i have done a post on Renitas book, and I always wanted to read Peters book

Peter Joseph Swanson  i would love to read one of his, as I think I would enjoy his and I like his writing on Gather, so this would be a fun read.

The hard part would be picking which one of his books to read lol

I would enjoy reading a book written by anyone here at the Gather community. As a writer, I think it's a great way to support these authors. I'd also be delighted to post a quality review on the book I read.

Great idea Karen - thank you!

I've been reading comments and posting by these authors.  It would be nice to read a whole book.

What about the man who does the traveling - meeting people all over the world?  I don't remember how to spell his last name, but I know it begins with C

oooh..I don't know, but if anyone gets me their name and he is on Amazon..that would be GREAT!

I don't read books...only 'my own'...one on the past 10 years so so.  I cool ith them if they're around the length of a newspaper story...or are mostly pictures.

We actually have been talking about having an online Gather Group Book Club and reading Gather authors books. We thought that would support them.

I always try to support my own community and I do the same in the Gather community.  I have read a few of the Gather members books and did reviews on them.  I do love to support those whom I know are working hard to help themselves. Gather is the best place online to do that.

Yes I will put this in Today On Gather. :)

Im reading a book by a gather author Aaron Lazar called tremolo: cry of the loon. im really enjoying it. Gather authors have a lot to offer, i was amazed how well cry of the loon has keep my attention and I get bored easily with books.

Id love to read one of peters book hes an interesting personality here on gather And I bet a fantastic writer.

I have already read his book. I thought it was good but thought it was more for youth than adults.

I want to read Renita's book because I want to learn more about how to save money.  I've heard from people who've read it that it has a lot of tips that people don't think of.

I would love to read Peter's book. If I hadn't met Peter through gather, I don't think the titles would even catch a second glance. After reading his post and getting to know him and his quirky writing style, I would love to see what he does with a book. And who knows? It might even broaden my horizons.

Now, I didn't even know Renita had a book, but I know she would help us all save money!

I would truly love to read a book from any author that is on gather & post a review afterwards. Great contest idea!

I would love to read most any book, too. One on saving money would be a great thing to read with things being so challenging these days.

I would love to read any author on Gather for the mere fact I like to read. I  don't have the extra money to go purchase these books myself. My local library is severly lacking in gettig new material in to read.

I would love to read Peters BOOK!!

This is a neat contest you are doing.  I've wanted to read Peter's books for a long time because he seems so funny and kind of cool so, want to read his Tinseltown trilogy but just haven't been able to come up with the money to get them. 

There are many strong writers here on Gather.  I think I would like to read Judi Fennels book.  I love that she created an alternative universe to place her characters in.  It would be an honor to do a book review.

Neat idea.  I'd love to read Renita's book--she has amazing skills at shopping and I know I can learn from her.

If you haven't chose the winners yet I would love you to consider me!  I would love to read ALL the Gather Authors books because chatting with them on here is awesome and it makes them so much more real to me - I can imagine them smiling while writing the funny parts and so on plus it is so gratifying to be able to come on here and tell them directly just how much you liked certain parts.  If you choose me please send me whichever one you have available and I would love to review it!!!! (IF we get a choice Peter Joseph Swanson is in my cart at Amazon for when I get my birthday money this week and it would save me a few dollars to get a book by him for free but I am going to buy them anyways)

Reading is my ultimate favorite pastime and I can't think of a better thing to do for Gather friends than to read their book and post a review!  Good luck to all who enter!!

I am reading The Raspberry Girl by Victoria Selene Skye Deme now and it's INCREDIBLE!  She is extremely poetic and talented.

I would LOVE to read one of the books by Peter Joseph Swanson.  His snippets on Gather are absolutely irresistible.  Of course a glowing review would follow ;)

I would love to honor of reading and reviewing any of the great books by any one of our many and wonderful authors here on gather :)

I'm impressed! I had no idea we have that many authors here. I too want to author a book in my lifetime. I would love to read a book written by someone who is perhaps like me, but obviously farther along in the process. I would love to read more about our gather authors too.

i would love to read a book by a gather auther cause you have too support at home first.i feel like gather is home

I love to read and try to read as many books as I can in the summer, when our days are less busy.  If I win, I will read the book and do the review and then pass the book onto another gatherer...  that's what I do with the books that I buy... It's nice to share.

What a  great idea. I would love to read any of the authors here on Gather. I think they are all great.

I didn't even know their were gather authors, that is so neat! This is something I'm going to really look into whether I win or not hehe. I love to read a variety of books myself so I would need to research to pick just one. I also own a home buisness, so I would have plenty of time to read as well as to post a book review. I admit I tend to read books pretty fast though, as it's difficult for me to put a book down once I have started. *Glances at the lists of gather authors,* this is kind of exciting to see, there was actually a moment in my life when I had wanted to be an author myself, but I was always too chicken to get anything published. It's always amazing to see what other people can do.

We have a large, talented group of authors here at Gather.  Don't forget

John Cassell

Delaune Michel

Paidra Delayno

One of the reasons I joined Gather was to discover new authors.  Roger Kiser has some interesting works as well as Pat Bertram.  Aaron Lazar is one author I would like to read.

Hey guys - don't forget about

Sherrie W.  

marie pinschmidt

Both have books on amazon and are working on writing their next novel.

Sounds like it's time for a gather author group!

Oh - don't ask me to choose yet. I'm sure there are some I don't know about that I would like to read.

I'm interested in Sherrie W's book and right now I am reading Marie Pinschmidt's two romance novels. 

The most active account of kindness that I can give out today is to live my life for my children and make it a better world than I grew up in!!!  And my grandchildren too!  To give of oneself, that is the most selfless act a human can perform!

I am so interested. I would love to read and review any of these books.  I am currently collecting books to read while on vacation .

If you will email me the winners name I will post it in the Today post. Thanks so much.

That's great what you are doing for these published authors.
If we could also have some way to get Gather members to also read, unpublished authors, that would be a treat as well.
Not to toot my own horn but..

Well, I'm not published like these great authors on here.

But, I do have great stories and short stories posted on this great website.
I do wish more people would read them and let me know what they think. That would be fabulous.
