Laurie R. King giveaway
Laurie R. King loves libraries and is showing it by giving away copies of her Mary Russell books!
“The theme of this year’s American Library Association celebration is Lives change @ your library. So that’s what Team LRK is celebrating as well. As you must know by now, I love libraries. I use libraries by the cubic meter, by the hundredweight, by the hour. Using any measure, libraries shaped me and continue to shape my writing.
So this spring, where I am also celebrating my own great good fortune in twenty years of Mary Russell, I’m giving away some of her books.
If you know a library that sponsors book clubs, and can make use of fifteen copies of the same Russell title, send us the library’s name. We’ll do a drawing every week between now and the publication date for the 20th Anniversary Edition of THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE, May 27. Show your library you love them, and let me send them some books.
Send your library nomination, to info@laurierking.com with the subject line Libraries.”

Win a signed galley of KEEP QUIET!
opens in a new window
Friends, you know we love Lisa Scottoline. Whether it's her Nancy Drew-for-grown-ups Rosato & Associates series, her laugh-out-loud essay collections with daughter Francesca Serritella, or her standalone emotional justice novels, like LOOK AGAIN and DON'T GO, Lisa spins quite a tale.
We're so impressed with her new standalone thriller, KEEP QUIET, that we're giving away three signed galleys to some lucky librarians! Yes, you read that right: SIGNED galleys!
"Scottoline keeps the tension high while portraying a family in turmoil. A heck of a twist ending wraps everything up neatly...and caps a satisfying, suspenseful read. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: This blend of domestic drama and criminal suspense from bestselling Scottoline is sure to hit the holds lists and may even find her a new audience among fans of issue-driven women’s fiction."
– Booklist on KEEP QUIET
To enter the giveaway, simply email Library@MacmillanUSA.com from your professional/library-issued e-mail address (subject: Keep Quiet) by Sunday, March 16. Make sure to include your library's mailing address to be placed in the random drawing. Read on for the fine print. Good luck!
