Giveaway: Celebrating the Library-Lovin’ Karin Slaughter

EDIT: Thank you for your interest.  This giveaway is now closed.

Karin Slaughter is one of our favorites here on the LLF team (see her heartfelt and hilarious message to librarians here.) Her latest release, Pretty Girls, is her best yet (in our humble opinion!) It's a twisted, psychological thriller with an ending you won't see coming!  Not convinced?  Check out some of this praise:

“Slaughter’s eye for detail and truth is unmatched. . . . I’d follow her anywhere.” — Gillian Flynn

“A stunning family tragedy and a hold-your-breath pedal-to-the-metal thriller magically blended by Karin Slaughter’s trademark passion, intensity, and humanity. Certain to be a book of the year.” — Lee Child

9780062429056_347a6

In celebration of this release, we are giving away galleys to the first 20 people to email us at librarylovefest@harpercollins.com.  Be sure to mention the giveaway and provide your mailing address. 

Ms. Slaughter might send chills down your spine but missing out on a free book?  Now that would be truly disturbing. So don't delay! And be sure to check out this great interview and review of Pretty Girls featured on ShelfAwareness.com.  For more info on Karin, visit her website at KarinSlaughter.com.

We Interrupt this Holiday Season….

CoverSo you could maybe accuse me of being strange because it was Christmas and I'm on vacation and technically this is work, but I read the entire 400 pages of Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes in a day and it. was. Amazing!! It is chilling and immediately impossible to put down ("unputdownable" as S.J. Watson said)…additionally, the format cleverly flips from 3 pages of modern day to 3 pages of the past in a way that actually makes it hard to find a good stopping point because you just have to find out what happens next. The story is heartbreaking and scary and hopeful and intense, and you desperately want Cathy to succeed. I dont want to give anything away, but this is a book I am going to be strongly supporting, and I have got impressive company; Karin Slaughter and S.J. Watson both love it, and I think we can all agree that we love them. So enough for now, I am going to get back to my family (although after years of me putting off chores because my nose was in a book, this should not be a big surprise to them), but watch this space for much more on this fabulous, thrilling book!
