Have You Heard About Our New Book Club? Giveaway?

Today, we are launching our new and improved book club! We have decided to combine two of our favorite events--book club and author chat--to create one exciting book club experience. Instead of holding a discussion throughout the month, we will be discussing the book with the author in a LIVE online chat. So, how is this all going to work? I will announce the book selection in the middle of the month and we will host the author on our blog on a predetermined day, sometime in the middle of the following month. This will ensure that everyone has a chance to read the book and be prepared to discuss it with the author.

For our January/February selection, we have chosen The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers. This book has received alot of advanced praise and we are delighted to have Randy join us next month to discuss it with us. So, grab a copy of this book and start reading!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! We will be discussing The Murderer's Daughters with the author on February 18th starting at 9 AM(EST).

Here's the Back Cover Blurb:

Lulu and Merry's childhood was never ideal, but on the day before Lulu's tenth birthday their father propels them into a nightmare. He's always hungered for the love of the girls' self-obsessed mother; after she throws him out, their troubles turn deadly.

Lulu had been warned not to let her father in, but when he shows up drunk, he's impossible to ignore. He bullies his way past Lulu, who then listens in horror as her parents struggle. She runs for help, but discovers upon her return that he has murdered her mother, stabbed her five-year-old sister, Merry, and tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself.

Lulu and Merry are effectively orphaned by their mother's death and father's imprisonment. The girls' relatives refuse to care for them and abandon them to a terrifying group home. Even as they plot to be taken in by a well-to-do family, they come to learn they'll never really belong anywhere or to anyone--that all they have to hold on to is each other.

For thirty years, the sisters try to make sense of what happened. Their imprisoned father is a specter in both their lives, shadowing every choice they make. One spends her life pretending he's dead, while the other feels compelled--by fear, by duty--to keep him close. Both dread the day his attempts to win parole may meet with success.

A beautifully written, compulsively readable debut, The Murderer's Daughters is a testament to the power of family and the ties that bind us together and tear us apart.
