Books Related Announcements

I received a few emails from the publicists and thought I would share them with you here.

First of all, Book Club Girl will be doing a radio show with Minrose Gwin (author of The Queen of Palmyra, which I reviewed here) on May 17th at 4pm eastern standard time.

If you are interested, please logon to: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/book-club-girl/2010/05/17/minrose-gwin-discusses-the-queen-of-palmyra

Happy listening!

Follow up next is the release of mass market paperback, The Accidental Bestseller, by Wendy Wax on May 25th (see my review here). To celebrate the release, Wendy has a 'Match the Cover Contest' and all you have to do is to send Wendy a shot of yourself reading The Accidental Bestseller on any beach by August 1st. You will be entered in a drawing for a beach bag of books by some of Wendy's favourite writers.
