TNBBC has a great new novel up for grabs!
Jane Roper's new novel Eden Lake
will be featured in July for our Author/Reader Discussion.
In order to stimulate discussion,
We are very excited to be able to offer 5 signed copies to US residents
and 5 Kindle eBooks internationally!!
Here is the book description as it appears on Goodreads:
"In 1968, newlyweds Clay Perry and Carol Weiss transformed a sheep farm in central Maine into Eden Lake—a nontraditional, progressive summer camp for children. Thirty years later, at the height of the Lewinsky scandal and the dot-com boom, Clay and Carol’s marriage is long over and the camp has become a pricey playground for entitled suburbanites. When an unexpected tragedy strikes, the Perryweiss children have to decide what role Eden Lake—and all that it stands for—will play in their lives."
The contest will run today through June 15th.
Here's how to enter:

ReplyDeleteI went camping in a cabin with a group of girls and dads and me and another girl decided to sleep together on the top bunk of a bunk bed. The windows in the cabin pushed out. In the morning no one could find me I was not in the cabin! I had rolled out of bed and out the window and spent the night asleep on the ground outside the cabin! I'm sueh a sound sleeper I never woke up!!
I would love to participate in the group discussion!!

Unfortunately, I don't have any camp stories to tell. I never went. :( But, again, I would love to win a copy of this book to discuss with the author.
I was a summer camp counselor for years. I'd like to read this book!

ReplyDeleteCamp Story.
We had a church camp every year but I was usually in summer school and could only go up the night my dad went. (He was a church leader). We'd go up and have dinner there and drive back late at night. One year the forest fires were really bad near the area and I could see the red flames of the fires burning not too far away. It was a little scary to think of how close it was to all my friends. Camp was ending the next day but if it had gone on any longer they would have had to evacuate.

I'd prefer a paper copy, and I'm a US resident.
ReplyDeleteMy weirdest camp story involves my cousin breaking her toe on the zip line and the authorities deciding that I (at 9 years old) was an acceptable next of kin to accompany her to the hospital. They never called her parents.

I would love a paper book and I am a US resident. I never went to camp so don't have any stories, but I did see a lot of camp movies...that should count for something!

ReplyDeleteAs far as camp stories go, I have a few but of an entirely different sort of camping: backpacking. This summer my boyfriend and I went on a three month road/backpacking trip around the country. After roughing it for several weeks in the woods, enjoying the solitude of the great outdoors, and spending our days communing with nature in some of the most gorgeous places on earth, we decided to end our trip in Las Vegas of all places. We really were looking forward to endless amounts of delicious mouth-watering cuisines, since backpacking fare lacks stimulation to say the least. Well we decide to take a forest road cutting through Oregon as a short cut. Well, as we all know about the danger of short cuts, suffice it to say it did not turn out well; in fact it was quite disastrous. So we were driving on this small forest road and the father we progressed the less maintained the road became and the narrower it got, like that scene in Willy Wonka where the hallway keeps getting smaller and smaller until it is unbearably small. Braches start brushing our car from all sides and from above and giant rocks appear in the middle of the road. We want to turn around at this point but there is no where to do so and we must continue onwards. We hear this big bang from one of the rocks hitting the undercarriage of our car. We don’t think much of it and continue driving hoping that we will reach a spot where we can turn around soon. Well just when things are starting to look good—we were able to turn the car around—the car fills with the pungent smell of gas (and not the bodily kind). It turns out that the rock we had hit earlier had cracked the gas tank causing it to leak. We had no cell phone service and there was no way a tow truck was going to fit on this narrow road, so we were forced to drive quickly down this curving, mountainous road to the nearest town, forty miles away. We made it but it was an adventure.
Oh this is Rosanna again. I agree to participate in the discussion and would lve to read the book :)
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI would love a signed paper copy, since I don't have a Kindle. I'm a US resident and my email is julie.y.park@gmail.com.
I can't think of a funny camp story but maybe the book will jog my memory...
I am in the US and would love a signed copy. I'd happily participate in the discussion. My email is acrigger{at}gmail{dot}com.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be a lucky winner, I'd like a paperback copy. I'm a U.S. citizen and I've done a lot of camps, especially basketball camps as a player and a coach.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was about eight my roommate and I got caught in the dorm rooms fighting. Someone just told us to "knock it off" and that was it. Punishments were much harsher at home.
We had "coaches" who were also college basketball players. I remember going to breakfast and seeing my coach coming in from a night at the bars. Rather than the camper get sent home, which is what you usually hear about, my coach got sent home.
Be glad to participate in the discussion. Be my first online one. Cool.
Best,
Bill
