GIVEAWAY---"The Hangman's Daughter"

As a BzzAgent, I received a digital copy of Oliver Potzsch's novel "The Hangman's Daughter" and also the sequel "The Dark Monk." I have just started reading "The Hangman's Daughter" this week! So far, I must say that I love it! It is a historical fiction novel that is set in 1660 Germany! The main characters are Jakob, the town executioner, Magdalena, his daughter, and Simon, the town physician. Here is the description that was provided by BzzAgent. 

The story: Germany, 1660: When a dying boy is pulled from the river with a mark crudely tattooed on his shoulder, hangman Jakob Kuisl - whose wisdom and empathy are as unusual as his despised profession - is called upon to investigate whether witchcraft is at play.

Magdalena, the hangman's clever and headstrong daughter, is destined to be married off to another hangman's son — except that the town physician's son is hopelessly in love with her. After the gruesomely injured boy is pulled from the river, the villagers suspect local midwife Martha Stechlin. Jakob Kuisl is charged with extracting a confession and torturing her until he gets one. Convinced she is innocent, he, Magdalena, and her would-be suitor to race against the clock to find the true killer.

Awesome NEW Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine

As a member of BzzAgent, I received a full size sample of Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner to try out! As a person with oily, limp hair, I was reluctant to try this shampoo and conditioner. I am one that usually sticks to clarifying shampoos because anything else leaves my hair an oily mess! I was pleasantly surprised with the new Garnier Fructis! It left my hair smooth and sleek! The smell was awesome too! The new Sleek and Shine shampoo claims to keep your hair sleek for 3 full days! I was unable to test this claim because I cannot go for more than two days without washing my oily hair!

Another thing I really liked about this new Garnier Fructis product was the Eco-friendly bottle! Some "green" things about this new bottle include an easier to open cap, it is made of PET plastic, contains 30% recycled plastic, and it is 10% lighter! I love a good product and I love it even more when the company is proactive in making greener choices with packaging!

So if you have frizzy, unmanageable hair, head on over and try the new Garnier Fructis line of shampoos and conditioners!
