So much good news to smush in to one post, so I’ll be brief lest I not get through this all before Mother’s Day:
1. Target has chosen The Wednesday Sisters as a “Best of Book Club”! A special edition with the opening of The Wednesday Daughters included will be in Target stores all summer – just in time to take to the beach.
2. Speaking of good beach reads, The Wednesday Daughters, is currently #2 on the Goodreads Best Beach Reads 2013 – a list of books readers plan to tuck into their beach bags this summer. If you’re on Goodreads and haven’t read it but want to, please consider voting for it there. While you’re at Goodreads, you can also enter to win one of the 30 copies they are giving away. I promise the rest of this post will wait until you come back, and if you leave a comment below that you’ve voted for it – just something like “I voted to put The Wednesday Daughters in my beach bag” – I’ll see if I can get some additional early reader copies to folks who don’t get one in the Goodreads giveaway.
If you have already read The Wednesday Daughters, it’s also #16 on the Goodreads Smart Summer Reads list – please add your vote! And then leave a comment below and I will figure out some nice way to say thanks (that will probably involve a book).
OK, I was going to talk about The Wednesday Daughters tour, too, but this is getting unweildy, so I’ll save that for later and move onto…
3. Last but certainly not least, I’m participating in a Mother’s Dozen multi-author book giveaway on my facebook page this weekend, with J. Courtney Sullivan, Kristin Hannah, Meg Wolitzer, Sarah Jio, Eleanor Brown, Sarah Addison Allen, Linda Francis Lee, Cathy Marie Buchanan, Claire Cook, M.J. Rose, Marisa de los Santos, and me. Really wonderful reading for your mom or yourself. Trust me on that if you haven’t read them already. I’ve read books by all but one of them, and have hers on my tbr. – Meg
