Book Giveaway: Shout Her Lovely Name

Since July 2010, TNBBC has been bringing authors and readers together every month to get behind the book! This unique experience wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of the authors and publishers involved.   


I'm excited to be partnering with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 
to bring you next month's Author/Reader Discussion Book!

We will be reading and discussing


In order to stimulate discussion, 
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has agreed to giveaway 10 copies 
to residents of US and Canada.


Here is the Goodreads description:

 
Mothers and daughters ride the familial tide of joy, regret, loathing, and love in these stories of resilient and flawed women. In a battle between a teenage daughter and her mother, wheat bread and plain yogurt become weapons. An aimless college student, married to her much older professor, sneaks cigarettes while caring for their newborn son. On the eve of her husband’s fiftieth birthday, a pilfered fifth of rum, an unexpected tattoo, and rogue teenagers leave a woman questioning her place. And in a suite of stories, we follow capricious, ambitious single mother Ruby and her cautious, steadfast daughter Nora through their tumultuous life—stray men, stray cats, and psychedelic drugs—in 1970s California.

Gimlet-eyed and emotionally generous, achingly real and beautifully written, these unforgettable stories lay bare the connection and conflict in families. Shout Her Lovely Name heralds the arrival of a powerful new writer.


This giveaway will run through November 9th. 
Winners will be announced here and via email on November 10th.

Here's how to enter:

1 - Leave a comment stating why you would like to win a copy.

2 - State that you agree to participate in the group read book discussion that will run from December 8th through December 22nd . Natalie Serber has agreed to participate in the discussion and will be available to answer any questions you may have for her.

 3 - Your comment must have a way to contact you (email is preferred).

  6. I love stories about women's relationships: mother/daughter/sister/girlfriend, especially since I've lived most of my adult life across the country from my own roots. My own WIP falls under this category. And I'm really getting into short stories, so I'd love to read this. I'll be available !2/8-22 for the discussion. My email is jennifergarvinjensen@gmail.com.

  9. Sounds like a book that will make me cry. I don't think I would normally pick this as a book to read just for kicks, however I do think this might be one of the best book discussions I've participated in yet, so I'm excited to read Ms. Serber's latest! And thanks Lori! karlyw743@gmail.com
