Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane
For fans of: Mystic River and Shutter Island
Since We Fell follows Rachel Childs, a woman on the brink, who worries that her marriage is not what it seems.

Sycamore by Bryn Chancellor
For fans of: Everything I Never Told You and Olive Kitteridge
An award-winning writer hailed as "amazing, sensitive, and thoughtful” by Kevin Wilson makes her debut with this mesmerizing page-turner: a coming of age story, a mystery, and a moving exploration of the elemental forces that drive human nature—desire, loneliness, grief, love, forgiveness, and hope—witnessed through the lives of one small Arizona town.
"Bryn Chancellor explores the complexities of a small-town girlhood with insight and compassion. A page-turner and a heart-breaker, Sycamore marks the arrival of a shining new voice."

Trifecta of Terrific Talent

September 23, 2011

***UPDATE***
Supplies have now run out. Thank you to all who participated.

OMG this is so exciting I can barely contain myself…we have some huge books coming out this Fall and now I get to give away three of them! I love my job. While supplies last anyone who emails us here at LLF can choose one of the three following titles:

Micro by Michael Crichton and Richard Preston (On sale 11.22.11)
This boundary-pushing thriller melds scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction to create yet another masterpiece of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.

Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire (On sale 11.1.11)
The final volume in The Wicked Years series finds the Land of Oz enmeshed in a civil war. Rain, Elphaba's granddaughter, must find a way to settle the unrest with help from a familiar cast of characters and some latent inherited gifts.

Falling Together by Marisa de los Santos (On sale 10.4.11)
Old friends are reunited in this story that uncovers hidden truths, confronts long-ignored realities, and ultimately leads on a journey that will make each character stronger as they try to rebuild their relationship.

I will send the books out as soon as they are on sale (I know it requires a little patience, but totally worth it). So which one do you want??
