Win a copy of Julie Buxbaum’s AFTER YOU

I believe in passing books along, letting others share in the reading pleasure. So with that in mind, I’m pleased to offer a giveaway of my advanced reader copy of Julie Buxbaum’s ‘AFTER YOU,’ which releases today in stores. You can read more about Julie and the book here on my site. For now though, let’s have a contest!

First, the disclaimer: the ARC does not have the official cover of the book. The copy I have is an advanced copy, so the cover is paperback and very plain and says it’s an advanced copy, which I think is kind of the coolness of it! But if you like pretty covers and pictures, then buy the book! (Well, buy it anyway!)

Now, the story is about how Ellie drops everything to help a friend’s daughter after the friend has died suddenly. And ultimately the novel is about the quest for home, what home means and how to find it. In honor of that deeper theme in the novel, let’s do a five-word contest on the theme of home.

In FIVE WORDS only, please write in the comments what “home” means to you. The winner gets my ARC!

    “is where your story begins”

    This is one of my favorite quotes about home…I first saw it on a napkin holder in Greece and have been using it ever since. It’s so accurate and I love it!

    “Is where the heart is” is redundant, yet true. I’ll make up one of my own, since I’d LOVE an ARC copy of Julie’s book! Here goes:

    The place where I’m complete.

    Best of luck to me! Thanks for the contest.;-)
