GIVEAWAY
Gold by Chris Cleave
July 3rd 2012 by Simon & Schuster
Building on the tradition of Little Bee, Chris Cleave again writes with elegance, humor, and passion about friendship, marriage, parenthood, tragedy, and redemption.
Gold is the story of Zoe and Kate, world-class athletes who have been friends and rivals since their first day of Elite training. They’ve loved, fought, betrayed, forgiven, consoled, gloried, and grown up together. Now on the eve of London 2012, their last Olympics, both women will be tested to their physical and emotional limits. They must confront each other and their own mortality to decide, when lives are at stake: What would you sacrifice for the people you love, if it meant giving up the thing that was most important to you in the world?

Book I'm most looking forward to releasing this summer (gosh there are so many great ones coming out!) but I'd say Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!!
I am looking forward to The Golden Lily can't wait to see what will happen
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of books I'm looking forward to reading this summer. I still have yet to read Divergent and Insurgent so that's probably at the top of the list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! *fingers crossed* The book I'm most looking forward to this summer would have to be My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Most of the ones you chose are either on my bookshelf (have read and loved), on my nightstand (waiting to be devoured), or on my TBR shelf (Why aren't there more hours in the day?).
I hope you have a great BEA-filled week!

The Book Hookup's Best of 2012
I just finished the first book of the "Game of Thrones" series, and can't wait to read the rest!
ReplyDeleteI Love seeing The Fault in Our Stars on so many lists! I loved it too!! I also really loved Wanderlove! I read it as an advanced copy on my nook though so I can't wait to get a physical copy to see those drawings on paper!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I can't wait to read Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. I'm a new follower! Check out my blog & follow me back: A Dream Within A Dream
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Fault in our Stars since it is showing up everywhere!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - lots on my TBR shelf. I've had City of Lost Souls since May and I'm ready to dive in now that summer is here and I've a little more time on my hands. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my best of 2012 and giveaway at http://abookinhand.com/?p=2398
The cover for 172 Hours is so creepy, I wanna read it! This summer, I'm looking forward to actually reading some of the unread books on my shelves - like the George RR Martin books - I need to catch up with the series so I can read Dance with Dragons.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of them. This one and The Golden Lily are up near the top of my list though. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to read Under The Never Sky.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones and Insurgent!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to get my hands on Before I Wake!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Fault in our Stars on a bunch of blogs this week.
