May I Come to your Book Club?

This past summer, my family and I packed our bags, loaded blackie (our minivan--we also have Greenie and blue-ie. Our kids named them!) and made our annual 2,000+ miles, 33ish hour drive across the beautiful United States to visit our families in Utah. Yes. We are crazy.

We always have a checklist of must do's while we are there. (I put a list together right here!) This year, however, we added one more thing to the list. A book club. My mother's book club read The Ordinary and invited me to attend the night they talked about it. I'm not going to lie, I was TERRIFIED! My mother (and I'm pretty sure most of her friends in the book club) would never have read this genre. Despite not being her favorite genre, my mother loved it! But, she's my mother. She has to say that. Although, if I had a nickel for everytime someone said, "I don't normally read this genre but I loved it!" I'd plan a long vacation! Anway, I didn't want to embarrass my mom nor disappoint her friends...I was NERVOUS!

During the course of our Utah visit, I thought about bailing on that whole gig at least a thousand times. I had this inner dialogue running through my head of everything that could possibly go wrong. But, you know what? It was one of the best experiences I've had! It was SO fun and I learned so much from them. It was AMAZING to hear their thoughts on the characters and story and their input influenced The Heir. Questions they had, like how exactly do Essential wings work, I answered in book two because of their feedback!

So, I had this crazy idea! With facetime and skype (do people still use skype??) I can go anywhere at almost anytime! Kids have to be picked up from school and fed--they are pretty particular about that ;) but other than that my schedule is pretty flexible.

If your book club would like to read The Ordinary or The Heir (I would HIGHLY recommend reading The Ordinary first. Reading The Heir first would really ruin The Ordinary!) and would be interested in having me attend (at NO COST TO YOU...well, besides the price of the book...strike the vacation idea. If I had a nickel for everytime someone said they didn't usually read this genre but loved it, I would buy you all the books!) please send me an email and we can schedule a time. You can do that using the email form on the sidebar.

Also, until January 31st, The Ordinary is free if you have Amazon Unlimited! (You can subscribe right under the header for email notifications of upcoming deals and promotions)

Hope to hear from you soon!
