Book Giveaway: The Wonder Bread Summer

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 to bring you next month's 
Author/Reader Discussion book!


We will be reading and discussing The Wonder Bread Summer
with author Jessica Anya Blau


In order to stimulate discussion, 
Jessica and her publisher, Harper Collins, have agreed to give away 
10 paper copies
to residents of the US only


Here is the goodreads description to whet your appetite:

It's 1983 in Berkeley, California. Twenty-year-old Allie Dodgson is a straitlaced college student working part-time at a dress shop to make ends meet. But when the shop turns out to be a front for a dangerous drug-dealing business, Allie finds herself on the lam, speeding toward Los Angeles in her best friend's Prelude with a Wonder Bread bag full of cocaine riding shotgun and a hit man named Vice Versa on her tail. You can't find a more thrilling summer read!


This giveaway will run through June 8th. 
Winners will be announced here and via email on June 9th.


Here's how to enter:

1 - Leave a comment stating why you'd like to receive a copy of the book. 

2 - State that you agree to participate in the group read book discussion that will run from July 15th through the end of the month. Jessica Anya Blau has agreed to participate in the discussion and will be available to answer any questions you may have for her. 

 *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 the discussion begins). 

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


GOOD LUCK!

  1. I'd really like to win a copy of The Wonder Bread Summer because I love literature centered in and around California. Plus, this sounds like a fun and fast-paced summer read!

    I'm more than happy to participate in the group read book discussion -- I'm already a member of TNBBC on Goodreads. It's how I discovered (and subsequently read) Defending Jacob.

  8. As I've never participated in this event and being a native Californian would make winning a copy of "The Wonder Bread Summer" very special.

    I'd like to make this my first group read book discussion and will definitely participate should I be one of the chosen few.

  18. Hi, I would love to win a copy of this book. I am a book addict, I LOVE book stores and discovering new reads. I tend to get stuck in a rut of my typical reads so I love finding new authors. My budget is very tight so I welcome a free read (just to be honest). I would love to be part of the book club and participate in a discussion. You can contact me a mamadrew12@gmail.com. Thanks :)

  19. I would love to win a copy of "The Wonder Bread Summer". I grew up in the 1980s and you just had to be there to understand so many things. I love book discussions and can't wait to dive into this one.

  21. After reading a bit of the beginning preview, I want to read more about these characters. This author has a way of writing that appeals to me and apparently, a lot of readers. I would also love to participate in the book club's discussion. I'm new at blogging and hope "The Wonder Bread Summer" can be my maiden voyage into this semi-live chatting genre.
