Giveaway: September and October Books We're Looking Forward to Reading

Every two months, we're featuring EIGHT books we're interested in checking out. (We know there are many, many more, but we're just highlighting a few that haven't received their time in the spotlight yet.) Here are the books we've chosen for September and October. There is one copy of each book available to give away and we will choose FOUR winners to each receive TWO books at random.

See our May/June and July/August posts for some other great reads you might have missed.

September:


All the Good Parts by Loretta Nyhan (September 20th)

The cover is pretty, but what's inside counts even more. Loretta Nyhan tackles an issue that affects many women in this day and age.

*Thanks to Loretta Nyhan for the giveaway copy.

See Book Mama's review and enter to win through 9/26


Take a Chance on Me by Carol Wyer (September 23rd)

Besides the fact that it makes us think of an ABBA song...the premise sounds like a lot of fun (as most bucket list books tend to be) and it's perfect for fans of Carole Matthews.

*Thanks to Bookouture for the giveaway copy.

Home with My Sisters by Mary Carter (September 27th)

A great way to get into a winter holiday mood before the fall has even ended (or started for that matter, given this heat). And a perfect fit for our September theme of "Family."

*Thanks to Kensington for the giveaway copy.



Enter to win a copy from Book Mama Blog, as well! (Ends 10/2)




The Promise Kitchen by 
Peggy Lampman (September 27th)

Food, friendship, and a delightful cover...who could ask for anything more?!?

*Thanks to Peggy Lampman for the giveaway copy.





October:


Today Will Be Different by 
Maria Semple (October 4th)

For those of us who know what it's like to make plans, but then life gets in the way.

*Thanks to Little, Brown for the giveaway copy.


Just Fine with Caroline by 
Annie England Noblin (October 11th)

Annie had us at "irresistible dog." Perfect for fans of Mary Kay Andrews!

*Thanks to William Morrow for the giveaway copy.

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult (October 11th)

Two words: Jodi Picoult. What further persuasion could we possibly need?!?

*Thanks to Ballantine for the giveaway copy.

Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes (October 18th)

We're glad to see Jojo Moyes back with another book, and this time it's short stories!

*Thanks to Pamela Dorman Books for the giveaway copy.

Thanks for a chance to win! I think the book that intrigues me the most is "All The Good Parts" by Loretta Nyhan. I have not read any of her others so it's a chance to add her to my favorites list. Plus that cover is gorgeous, even though I know I'm not supposed to judge. :)
