The New Year, New Book Giveaway!!!

I just noticed it's the end of January already and I still haven't had a giveaway! Well, it's time to fix that!

Since a new year is all about fresh beginnings, I thought it would be fun for everyone to mix it up a bit, maybe get to know some writers you weren't familiar with. So I thought of all the books I've read recently by writers I didn't know and ended up really enjoying, and I picked one of them to give away.

Now, this is how the giveaway will work. To enter, you must follow this blog and leave a comment on this post about a writer you recently discovered. After all, we would all love to get to know more and more great writers!

Next Friday, February 4th, I'll use random.org to choose one of the commenters as the winner! And the prize will be....

Love in Translation, by Wendy Tokunaga



I met Wendy through Twitter, liked her website and decided to get one of her novels. I wasn't at all disappointed. Wendy's genre is a lot like what I've been working on myself - multicultural romantic comedy, or multicultural humorous women's fiction, whatever you prefer - and I absolutely loved her writing style. She does a great job at presenting a new culture and a new romance, and mixes it up with backstories that give her novel more depth. I particularly enjoyed how she manages to flow between several subplots with ease - that's something I'm trying to learn, and I now look up to her. Love in Translation is a wonderful novel, and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

So, go ahead and tell me what great writers you have discovered recently, so I can add them to my reading list! Remember: to enter the giveaway you must follow the blog AND comment on this post, and your comment must include a suggestion of an author you've discovered recently.

Good luck!
