thepromiseofstardust pictureWe’re changing up BOOK CLUB. Gone are the rigid dates, where we announce books on the X Tuesday of the month, discuss them on the Y Tuesday, alternating whose blog the discussion happens on. Instead, Nicole and I will be co-hosting BOOK CLUBs as we find books that we are just dying to discuss with everyone. The second book in our semi-new format is going to be Priscille Sibley’s debut novel The Promise of Stardust from William Morrow Paperbacks. Here is, in part, the publisher’s description:

Matt Beaulieu has loved Elle McClure since he was two years old. Now married and expecting their first child, Elle suffers a fatal accident. To keep the baby alive, Matt goes against his wife’s wishes and keeps his wife on life support. But Matt’s mother thinks that Elle should be euthanized, and she’s ready to fight for what she believes is the right thing.

We are now giving away books with the understanding with publishers that there will be a readerly discussion. If you are a blogger and review the book, great! If you are not a blogger, but review the book on LibraryThing or GoodReads, or talk it up on Twitter, wonderful! All we really want, though, is for you to commit to come and discuss it with us.

We will be discussing The Promise of Stardust on Tuesday, February 12th. If you would like to be entered to win one of our ten copies (US mailing addresses only, please), please fill out the form below by 11:59 pm Eastern on Thursday, January 10th. Your address WILL be required to win (but will not be used by us for anything but getting your book to you) because we want to get these books to you with quick turn around.

  1. This sounds good – I did a couple read a longs last year for discussions but they are a lot of work. Maybe it is better for me join others :)

  2. I would love to do this! I am always looking for persons to discuss books.

  3. New year, new format – I love it! I hope I’m able to participate again this year (I previously blogged sporadically as cheapblackpens).
