I'm so thrilled to be able to bring you this awesome giveaway today! Thanks to the lovely people at Disney Publishing, you get the chance to win the complete Tamara Ireland Stone collection, AKA all three of her novels: Time Between Us, Time After Time & Every Last Word. I'm very excited to be able to host this giveaway, because I enjoyed all three! My favorite is Every Last Word, which is coming out on June 16. Before we get to the giveaway, here's a little about this latest novel below:
Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Publication Date: June 16, 2015
If you could read my mind, you wouldn't be smiling.
Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can't turn off.
Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn't help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. Yet Sam knows she'd be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam's weekly visits to her psychiatrist.
Caroline introduces Sam to Poet's Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself. Slowly, she begins to feel more "normal" than she ever has as part of the popular crowd . . . until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear.
Sounds great, doesn't it? I can confirm that this novel is fantastic. It was such a surprise how well I connected with Sam and her story, and there is no doubt in my mind that many people will feel the same way. And, major bonus, you can read an excerpt over at Un-Required Reading! Now here's a little about author Tamara Ireland Stone:
Tamara Ireland Stone is the author of Time After Time and Time Between Us, which Melissa Marr praised as a "beautifully written, unique love story," and has been published in over twenty countries. A former Silicon Valley marketing executive, Tamara enjoys skiing, hiking, and spending time with her husband and two children. She lives just outside of San Francisco.
Tamara is seriously a great writer, and I look forward to seeing her again one day (I first met her at BEA when she was signing ARCs of Time Between Us!) so that I can tell her that I think her stories are awesome. And now, the moment I'm sure you've been waiting for - the giveaway.
