Last book in Fab Fall Book Promo!
Well, here it is! The very last book of the Fall Fab Book Giveaway and I’m proud and honored to feature Kristina Riggle’s third novel Things We Didn’t Say. I’ve featured both of her other books here on MaNiC as well, and I love the depth of her writing. Her characters are so relatable and true-to-life, and she writes about tough subject matter here: alcoholism, divorce, blended families, the sudden disappearance of a child. Things We Didn’t Say is a book you will pick up and won’t be able to put down until the final pages.
Blurb:
Then, son Dylan runs off and the kids’ mother, a woman never afraid to say just what she thinks, noisily barges into the home. That’s when Casey decides that the silences can no longer continue. She must begin speaking the words no one else can say. She’ll have to dig up secrets—including her own—uncovering hurts, and beginning healing that is too long overdue. And it all begins with just a few tentative words…
To enter to win the final book in the Fall Fab Book Giveaway, tell me something you say almost every day.
Obviously, you’re probably saying you love someone every day, so tell me something unique or silly or funny or crazy that you say every single day at one time or another. I think I probably say GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH BOXES every single day or DID YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH every single day… So what are some things YOU DO SAY every day? (and yeah, we all know the usual, “Not tonight dear, I’ve got a headache … hahahah!)
Don't forget to go back and enter for the previous books. I still haven't drawn winners from the book MICE on, so there are still six books that you can enter to win!
Next week I’ll finalize the winners from all of the books and give you info on when the GRAND PRIZE drawing will be. One of you will win all 20+ books! Yes, it could be YOU! How exciting is THAT!!!!

I always ask my husband to pick up his stuff everyday! And it never gets done. Such is the life of a couple that works opposite shifts!
I say "Peace Out Bitches" everyday leaving work. They still haven't decided if I mean it in a nice way or not.
"Dyaln and Luke, stop it!" My six and three year old like to fight. Melissa Rem
I work in a group home and I think I say "go blow your nose" or something along those lines every day!

"Seriously?" Every. Day.
I want all 26 books!
At the end of the day, right before I go to sleep, I say 5 things that I'm grateful for.
Get your hands out of your pants!! (I have two boys...and a husband...lol)
I always say "How was school today?"

Good Morning Love of My Life
Since google is a part of everyday life, any time someone in the house has to google we say "google it bitch!" It is a line from a movie whose title I can't remember. We have adult children and we all must have been in goofy moods b/c we find it funny. I know it's probably sounds a unconventional and maybe dysfunctional but we crack ourselves up with it. I actually asked my daughter if she ever thought this would be an almost daily tag-line with all of us even just a couple years ago.

I tell my three year old every day, not to sit on the dog. Since we have a big dog....he thinks he has an indoor horse!

I tell my husband, "Have a nice day. Drive safely. Don't get any paper cuts. Be careful. I love you," every day. I have the first letter of each word engraved on his wedding ring. He says it back to me every day, too. The don't get any papercuts was in reference to my one-time paper pushing job.
Every day... at least 3 times a day LOL I say.. "Really!?" Of course, you have to say it with a little bit of a higher voice and emphasis is on the "lly!?" part. :)
I would love to win the big prize of all of the books, but I'd be happy with just this one too! I'm going to go back and check out the other book giveaways that you have left and see if I can try my luck!
I saw "Awesome" at least a few times a day!!
Clean up your toys...over and over and over

I do say everyday it's a small world. I find with the help of facebook it is amazing to get in touch with old friends and discover some of them are not that far away. I've actually moved to a new community and discovered an old neighbor has moved a few houses down. It really is a small world.
Margaret(singitm)
Seriously? I'm over it. How was your day? Do you have a lot of homework? Did you clean out the catbox? Oh Lord. Really? How's it going? Just to name a few. :) Nan
I say, seriously?! Usually in response to something my boys did :) LeslieGC
Everyday to my daughter, wash your face and don't forget the waterpick before you brush. She tells me every single time: "I know!" Then I ask her after:"Did you use the waterpick?" Response: "Oh I forgot." My response: Rolling of eyes.
I always hug and kiss my puppy, Sassy everyday because I love her so much. cindyinmiami writeoncindy@yahoo.com
How'd you get so lucky? Did you feed the dog? And we sing songs and say stupid little things that no one else gets. Our roommate says we (boyfriend and I) have our own weird language. Oh and PUT THE CLOTHES IN THE BASKET. What's for dinner?
It is meant in a COMPLETELY JOKING MANNER...but I probably say, "do you have a gun?" every day in response to my secretary asking how its going or if I need anything.
Emily116
I say "Goodnight, I love you." to each of my daughters every night before I put them to bed.
Did the dog do anything while you were outside?
Amy Goddard
I probably say "Are you hungry?" every day.
"Did you sleep well?" (We have a lot of insomnia in our house.) and "I love you."
Mommy needs some lovin. Where is my booger butt. That's my nickname for my yorkie Oliver.
Every Friday I tell my cat Moody, "Moody, it's Friday, it's your chance to party down." in a Homer Simpson voice.
Even though she's 14 now I still tell my daughter "night night, don't let the bed bugs bite."
'Anything exciting happen to you today?' Just me and hubby - so no kids to yell at anymore.
"Hurry, hurry" - trying to encourage my dogs to use the potty b/c it's starting to get cold outside/I'm gonna be late for work.
Also whenever I get home I say "heyyyy fat girl!" (who is always asleep on the couch waiting for us to get home) and "where's my Chula Bunnie" (b/c unlike Nova, Chula likes her peace and quiet when she's napping so she sleeps in her kennel.)

"Cat treat!" Accompanied by the sound of a shaking bag.
I always say "What up?" everyday to my family or when I get to work to all my co workers.
"Bye honey, I love you, have a good day at work." Well, I guess I don't say that on weekends. But probably every day I say "Lulu, NO." Lulu is our naughty dog.
"No". I say it everyday. I have 3 kids, so that word is a constant.

"It happens"
move over! between the puppy & boyfriend, I'm always on the edge of the bed smooshed by snugglers
Roll over! My husband snores and everynight I have to tell him to roll over ....
I always make sure I say "I love you" on a daily basis. It's the last thing I say if I get off the phone with my family and the last thing I tell my daughter before bedtime.
When my daughter was home, it was "have you brushed your hair?"
Well I'm a teacher so I'm pretty sure "please keep your finger out of your nose" comes out of my mouth daily followed by the occassional "do we ever stick our head in the potty or sink? No!" :)
Good Morning (to my second graders).
I Love You (to my husband).
Hi Fleabees (combining fleas & babies---to my cats).
Do you need to go out Mags? (to the dog)
Carly H
The two things that I am for certain going to say every day are: "I love you more" and "I don't know too much else" and both are to my mother.
ID Eloisepeaches
Stop fighting with your sister! Said daily to one of my 3 daughters!
"good morning sunshine" to my fourteen year old son before he leaves for school.Because he always wakes up such a bear, and I love hearing his response...always a cross between a growl and a grunt.
I am very close to my Mother and Sister (personal soliloquy, "Was I supposed to capitalize those? I think not but...whatever") although I'm in LA (Louisiana, not Los A...), Mama is in Canada, and Sis is in KY. Well, talk all the time and I made us shorten the whole end of conversation thing (you know, love you, love you too, bye stuff) to just o and o- get it? It's short for over and out cause of course we love each other so just- o and o.
o and o
I tell my cat, "It's time for ni-nite", and he climbs up in my arms for me to carry him to bed (spoiled much??)
I say" don't do this kids
"It is what it is"
"seriously?!?!" (usually in response to something my 11 year old says or does) or "you guys!!!! Knock it off!!!!!" (for the constant fighting between the 3 kids!!)
No worries - JillFay
Grande Vanilla Latte, please.
Why are you such a freaking BUMPARSE?? We have a bloodhound, love him to death, but just like on the Christmas Story movie, he is a total Bumpasses dog!!!
I tell my daughter to have a good day at school, when she's getting out of the car.

i always say i love you to my husband every time we talk on the phone (many times a day).
every night at 9:00 it's "o,k, beaker, it's time for whip!" brad, our cat whose nickname is beaker, gets whipped cream. to my boyfriend "you make me so very happy!"
I say "I love you" to my kids everyday, several times :)
I can't think of anything silly or funny but I think I probably say "What do you want for dinner?" every single day. Always thinking about the next meal, ya know?! :)
ChristinaL
Everyday I ask my dogs "do you need to go potty?" And everyday they both jump up and down as if this is the highlight of their day!
Kristi Hooke
Mine would have to be "Girls! Stop it!" or "Girls, if you don't _____, then you can't _____! One, Two..." Haha!
Terri M.
Every night my 3 yr old likes to ask, "do you know what I'm going to have for befast {breakfast}? To which I reply:
"Snails?
Boogers?
Frog legs?
Lizard feet?
Dirt?"
This will continue until she yells out, "No, Mom! Chocwate Cerweal!"
Every. Night. :-)

I tell my Starbucks barista my drink order every day because I am addicted to that place!
Thanks!

I say "Go outside!" every day to the dogs. lol
I'm a K-2 teacher so "keep your hands to yourself" comes out of my mouth all the time.
-Philly5
"Seriously?? Really??"
Ginormous. I hate it and I wish I could stop but I use it all the time. Quitting is a lot harder than you think!
Kristen27
i say "we'll figure it out" almost all the time.
melissa a from clc
I tell my kids that I love them everyday.
-Donna W.
' I am not going to tell you again" - to my kids. and husband. of course I do tell them again and again. I need a new phrase
There isn't one single phrase I say everyday, but I do quote some comedy movie everyday. Some of my favorite movies to quote are "Zoolander", "40-Year-Old Virgin", and the classic "Clueless".
I always tell my little man to have an awesome day at school every time I drop him off.
I am not going to eat that cookie. And of course, I do.
Every morning, I groan, "WHY is the alarm clock already going off??" I really hate mornings...
I always ask the puppies to tell me about their day!
I ask my husband everyday "Does this look OK?" He is very honest about what I am wearing and if he makes a face I know I need to change!
Really?!
Sweet Dream, don't let the bedbugs bite Love you to the moon and back:)--every night to my son even when I have to work out of town --I will call every night and then again to "tuck him in"--can't wait till college when I attempt this :)
Sherry V
I tell my coworkers that they're being sassy or sassholes every day! But we all are :)
I say "close the basement door please" at least 5 times a day. I even have a sign posted on the door to remind my kids... but it still is never closed... sigh.
"There's still soap in your hair." I have to send my 7 year old back to rinse his hair again after bathes.
"Oh my God. What time is it??"
Liz from Betty Tuesdays
hahhahaa....OMG!!! Jenn3128...I had to wipe water off my screen after I read that. love it.
I always say I love you to the hubs. sappy, I know...I also say when are we moving because I need to live somewhere a little more civilized. lol
To my 2 yr old daughter, "Stop doing that...you're going to hurt yourself!"
kathygold9778
I always say "$#^*" when I wake up at 5:30 am. Not a morning person. Thanks for the chance to win the book!
"I don't know, what do you want for dinner?" in response to my boyfriend asking what we're having. I don't have all the answers! He needs to help a girl out every once in awhile! :)
How many minutes can I get myself to do on the elliptical today?
I suppose....this is how I answer my kids to almost every question. My Mom did the same to me. I don't know why I can't just say "yes" it is always "I suppose".
I say, "I want to sleep more" every day. Maybe one day I'll learn how to do it.

Every day I say "good morning sunshine" to my daughter.
I always say "did you check the front door is locked" to my fiance before bed EVERY night!
"I hear that sista"
Can you turn the game down? Did you feed the cats? Are just a few of my everyday comments.
"Seaver, leave her alone" to my puppy about my baby girl. My goodness they love each other, but there is only so much licking that needs to happen.
Well, there's one particular swear word I use (multiple times) every day!! But I can't repeat it here ;-)
I've tried to quit the habit, but the word, it's just ingrained in my mind!
How was your day? I say it every single day. That and "hang up your backpacks."
AWESOME!!! I never win anything so Im super duper excited!!! :o)
Really worthwhile data, much thanks for the post.
