We are excited to announce a MAJOR giveaway sponsored by Penguin Random House. One lucky winner and a guest will be awarded VIP passes to BookCon, the convention for book lovers “where storytelling and pop culture collide,” featuring authors like Brad Meltzer, Jacqueline Woodson, Deborah Harkness and Marisha Pessl. In addition to the two passes, the VIP treatment will include two flights to New York City; a hotel stay; swag bags that include two Deborah Harkness box sets, two Sarah Jessica Parker totes, two Shakespeare Star Wars Collection CDs, and two sets of earbuds; and much, much more!
Last night, I spent a lovely evening at the first meeting of the Long Hill Book Club. Tara, a publishing colleague who I had worked with a while back, wrote me to share that she (above left) and her friend, Kathleen (second from left), wanted to start a book club, which would be made up mostly of moms of young children, who were short on time and energy, but who were interested in reading more than books to their children.
