Good morning and good day to you. As Summer sweeps by (it’s the final week of July…whaaaa?), here’s a few tips from GetGlue: be sure to savor the moments, drink lots of water, and check out this week’s Guru Giveaways as you too may be a winner.
While we won’t be coming to your house with balloons, a giant check and a zombie Ed McMahon, you will still get some cool, readable swag for free and who doesn’t love free stuff. This week’s prizes include the latest in Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Underworld series and a fun book on grammar.
As it is every week, last week’s winners are still winning this week and this week’s winners are below:
Waking The Witch, by Kelley Armstrong
In the eleventh volume of her Women of the Underworld series, Armstrong introduces a new heroine, 21-year-old witch Savannah Levine. Levine sets off to investigate a trio of murders featuring paranormal overtones, but the action takes a dark turn when her powers become unreliable.
Everything Is Going To Be Great, by Rachel Shukert
Rachel Shukert’s second set of essays finds the 20-something humorist roving through Europe having landed a small role in a traveling play. Her witty observations have earned many plaudits from critics and earned her comparisons to David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley.
City Of Veils, by Zoe Ferraris
Ferraris returns to the site of her debut novel, the acclaimed Finding Nouf, sending desert guide Nayir Sharqi and forensic scientist Katya Hijazi off to solve the case of the death of a brash and unconventional Saudi woman and the disappearance of the American contractor with whom she was having an affair. Ferraris novel serves both as a taut thriller and as an examination of the role of women in Middle-Eastern society.
The Glamour Of Grammar, by Roy Peter Clark
Well-established as one of the great writing coaches (and as a superb author on the subject), Roy Peter Clark has a world of fun in his latest treatise - this one a tome that succeeds in uncovering the joy and elegance hiding in the English language. Clark blends humor with an authoritative hand, re-revealing the charm writers derive from making language dance.
All contests open only to US residents.
