Regina Doman Giveaway for a Worthy Cause
Support a Catholic family & enter to win great books
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in News on Monday, January 18, 2010 3:30 PM
Thanks to a generous donation from Adoremus Books, we are giving away 3 complete sets of Regina Doman’s Fairy Tale novels!
Have you heard of the Fairy Tale Novels? If not, then let me pause in my jumping up and down long enough to catch my breath and tell you to run as fast as you can to get them. I’m so excited that we’re able to bring you this amazing giveaway this month, just in time for Valentine’s Day (not that I need an excuse to rave about my favorite books, mind you).
So far, there are four books in the series (and I can’t be the only fan who’s waiting impatiently for the next one). Each of the books is a modern retelling of a classic fairy tale, done expertly and without shoving religion down your throat, though they are written from a firmly Catholic viewpoint.
I raved about them over at my blog a while ago, but what inspired us to organize this giveaway was hearing about hard times for this favorite author of ours.
Regina Doman is a very special Catholic homeschooling mother, author, speaker, and editor at Sophia Institute Press. Recently, her 6-year-old son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Unfortunately, her family’s current financial and insurance situation leaves little, if any, room to cover the projected ongoing costs of managing this illness.
Knowing what a supportive community we have here, we want to ask you to help, first and foremost, with your prayers.
If you find that you need a gift for a birthday or a Valentine that’s sure to endear you to that avid reader in your life, would you consider purchasing one or more of her books? It helps Regina’s family most if you buy them through her website, but they are also available from a variety of other booksellers.
We’re going to give away the three sets of all four of the Fairy Tale Novels, thanks to the generosity of Adoremus Books, to three lucky winners. Leave a comment by January 31, and we’ll randomly draw the winners.
Here are other ways you can use your purchasing power to help Regina’s family:
- This month, Hillside Education’s Helping Those in Need page is focusing on Regina’s family. There are some good buys and people can help a struggling family at the same time. The links are small so you need to look closely for the links that say Handmade Items, Books Used, Books new, etc.
- Homeschool Connections will donate 50% of all live courses and $30 for every subscription (recorded courses). People can email (homeschoolconnections@gmail.com) to let them know to credit their enrollment or subscription to Regina and her family.
- Ask your bookstore, library, youth group, homeschool group, school, and book club to consider buying Regina Doman’s Fairy Tale Novels. I actually did this over the summer, and my librarian thanked me; it turns out they are always looking for good YA titles.
Many thanks to Adoremus Books for sponsoring this giveaway. Enter your name below and consider growing your library (or the library of someone you love) by purchasing the Fairy Tale Novels!

What a great idea! These books have been on my list for awhile. This may be the time to start reading them.
