It has been a very good day.

So as I pick up the falling down streamers and cake frosting off the wall (Laurel?  Was that you? )  I have to just breathe a big happy sigh.  That was a great party.

Freebie Friday: Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

Congratulations to:

Jamie from For The Love of All That is Written

Please email me your shipping info and this little treasure will be on its way to you!

In honor of Jodi Picoult’s book My Sisters Keeper being released this week as a movie, I thought I would offer a Picoult book.  I have a new oversized paperback copy of Keeping Faith for this weeks giveaway.

When the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression—and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata. And when the miraculous healings begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile center of controversy and into the heat of a custody battle—trapped in a mad media circus that threatens what little stability the family has left.

To enter,

1.  Place a comment here with your favorite Picoult book that you have read (if you have read her)

2.  Earn an additional chance to win by blogging about this contest on your blog or Twitter

Winner will be announced next Friday July 10.  You must be in the US and no p.o. box numbers.

Have fun and have a safe and happy 4th of July!

WINNERS OF THIS GIVEAWAY!!!

  • Susanne

  • Amy

You have been emailed and I have asked that you email back your address by Monday July 6.  Thanks and congratulations to our lucky winners!


The Night Gardener by George Palecanos:  Pelecanos (Drama City) delivers a dignified, character-driven epic that succeeds as both literary novel and page-turner. In 1985, the body of a 14-year-old girl turns up in a Washington, D.C., park, the latest in a series of murders by a killer the media dub “The Night Gardener.” T.C. Cook, the aging detective on the case, works with a quiet, almost monomaniacal, focus. Also involved are two young uniformed cops, Gus Ramone, who’s diligent, conscientious and unimpressed by heroics, and Dan “Doc” Holiday, an adrenaline junkie who’s decidedly less straight.

Fast forward 20 years. Detective Ramone, now married with kids of his own, investigates the murder of one of his teenage son’s friends. The homicide closely resembles the earlier unsolved Night Gardener murders. Holiday, now an alcoholic chauffeur and bodyguard, follows the case on his own and tracks down Cook, long retired but still obsessed with the original murders. While the three work together toward a suspenseful ending, Pelecanos emphasizes the fallacy of “solving” a murder and explores the ripple effects of violent crime on society.

Five copies of this book are being offered in this contest thanks to Valerie Russi and Hachette House Book Group.

1.  Leave a comment  for one chance to win

Winners will be announced June 30th.  You will have 48 hours from the time I email you to respond with your address.  Those who do not respond will have another name drawn instead.  Winners must be in the USA and Hachette Book Group can not mail to po boxes.

Good luck everyone!  This is an incredible read you don’t want to miss out on!
