We Love Indies Day - with giveaway!

Organized by the dynamic duo of Lisa & Laura Roecker today writers, readers, bloggers and book people across cyberspace are celebrating their favorite independent bookstore. Here's mine:

In honor of its name, here are 3 reasons I love this place:

Me @ 3rd Place Books w/ a copy
of WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON

1. My critique group meets there--it's an ideal place to hang out with bookish folks--and you often run into other amazing local writers who love spending time there, too.

2. Fantastic kids section with a Reading with Rover (kids read to dogs) program; awesome used books; best gifties -- there is no person, no occasion for which this place doesn't have the perfect book AND gift.

3. The Honey Bear Bakery.  Best thumbprint cookies in the world.  Yum.  Just yum.

So...last week after critique group, I bought a nice new copy of one of my favorite books, WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON to give away to YOU.  Just fill in your name and email below.
