Our #FridayReads + a Pop Quiz!
Happy #fridayreads, librarians! Talia and I are lost in some seriously excellent books this week...
Talia's reading:
BAD HAIRCUT: Stories from the Seventies by Tom Perrotta
I'm reading:
WITHOUT A SUMMER by Mary Robinette Kowal
THE HUMAN DIVISION by John Scalzi
And because I'm feeling fangirly I've got a tricky, little quick draw pop quiz/galley giveaway for ya...
Is the following quote from WITHOUT A SUMMER or THE HUMAN DIVISION?
"[S]he was of the opinion that if one was going to issue an invitation, one should be prepared to have it accepted."
I'll send a galley of both books to the first librarian to correctly guess in the comments below! (One winner. U.S. only.)
You can also download the WITHOUT A SUMMER e-galley from Edelweiss (here's how) and start reading THE HUMAN DIVISION in serial (would you like to know more?)!
