Book Giveaway: Bill Warrington's Last Chance

It's time again for our monthly Author/Reader Discussion giveaway!

We are pleased to be hosting James King in December to discuss his novel


In order to stimulate discussion, 
we are offering 10 copies to US and Canada residents
Update:
James will also mail the winners a signed bookplate!

Here's the Goodreads description: 

A magnificent debut about a man's odyssey toward family redemption- with his granddaughter along for the ride Bill Warrington realizes he has Alzheimer's and his lucid days are numbered. Determined to repair a lifetime of damage to his estranged adult children, Bill takes off with his fifteen-year-old granddaughter April on a cross-country drive, bound for San Francisco, where she dreams of becoming a rock star. As the unlikely pair heads west, Bill leaves clues intended to force his three children-including April's frantic mother-to overcome their mutual distrust and long-held grievances to work together to find them. In this dazzling road trip novel, James King masterfully explores themes of aging, sibling rivalry, family dysfunction, and coming of age, against a backdrop of the American heartland. Unflinching, funny, and poignant, Bill Warrington's Last Chance speaks to that universal longing for familial reconciliation, love, and forgiveness.


The contest will run through November 9th 

 Here's how to enter:

 1 - Comment here stating that you would like to receive a copy of the book. 

 2 - You must leave me a way to contact you (email is preferred). 

 3- Agree to participate in a group read book discussion that will run during the entire month of December over at TNBBC on Goodreads. James King has agreed to participate in the discussion and will be available to answer any questions you may have for him. 

 *If you are chosen as a winner, by accepting the copy you are agreeing to read the book and join the group discussion at TNBBC on Goodreads (the thread for the discussion will be emailed to you before December 1st). 

 Winners are chosen randomly and will be announced here and via email on November 9th. 
 Good luck!

    This sounds like a delightful read that could lead to an insightful discussion (nothing like the topic of family!). As I never win anything, it hasn't stopped me from repeatedly trying. So, here goes! Email is syd.ashby at gmail.com. Cheers!

    This sounds like a great read. I'm currently going through a family situation similar to this regarding my Uncle - who is 70 years old - and a good friend of mine - who is around 50 - and they are both at a stage in their lives where their minds aren't working all that great. So, I'd love to be included in this book discussion; and taken along for the ride to San Fran (also known within my family circles as My Town because it's also a dream for me to go there and 'discover' the place for myself).

    Jim's book is a wonderful read. I can still remember reaching the end and turning to my sister (she was driving us home) and said, "Amazing, wonderful story."

    Congratulations, Jim. So happy you never gave up on your dreams. Love the new book cover.

    Thank you TNBBC for hosting this giveaway and spreading the joy of great stories.
