Hooray! It’s a giveaway!
Posted by Heather O. | August 19, 2009 | 94 Comments
We’re giving away Emily Watts’ new book, “I Hate it When Exercise is the Answer”. I just finished it, and it’s everything you’ve come to expect from Emily Watts. She’s warm and funny, and reading her new book is like talking to an old friend. This book actually has very little to do with exercise, although she does mention it once or twice. It’s really what she calls an “exercise program for the soul”, and it’s just as witty and fun as her previous books. So if you are looking for a quick and fun read, just make a comment below. Comments will stay open until Friday morning.
Happy commenting!

Saw her at the BYU Bookstore yesterday, and almost went up to her to say “Segullah?” like some James Bond wannabe
Chickened out, though!
Maybe if I read her book I’d feel more powerful & strong — LOL!
