Hi, everyone! Authors, teachers, bloggers, and bookstore reps are some of the most generous people around, and I'm so, so happy to have joined them in donating books. These fine folks gave and collected hundreds of books to send to areas affected by hurricanes, local schools, and even a Wisconsin women's shelter. The photo of stacked books wasn't half of all those brought in to the 6th Annual Novel Cuisine Luncheon. I've gone the past three years, and I'm amazed by the camaraderie, fun quizzes, book-based food, and generosity. What great people.

Time for another giveaway! I'll be pulling a name at random from my subscriber list (U.S. resident only) to receive a free hardcover copy of better than perfect by Melissa Kantor. Here's part of its jacket copy: "Juliet Newman has it all. A picture-perfect family; a handsome, loving boyfriend; and a foolproof life plan: ace her SATs, get accepted into Harvard early decision, and live happily ever after. But when her dad moves out and her mom loses it, Juliet begins questioning the rules she's always lived by ... What if perfect isn't all it's cracked up to be?"
You don't need to do anything for a chance to get this book. You're already entered in the giveaway. I'll draw a name September 30, 2017, at noon Central Time and contact the winner via email. I'll also cover shipping costs.
