I'm Giving Away the Secrets of Love…

(disclaimer: I’m not really)
(clarification: I’m giving away some books, not any actual secrets of love)
(author’s note: I don’t have any ‘love secrets’)

I should have done this giveaway months ago, but you know how March wasn’t the best month in the history of my life which totally jacked up April, and well it was almost mid-May before I really started to feel like me again. So here we are, almost June and I’m finally getting around to tell you about Hector and the Secrets of Love and to see if anyone would like a copy because I’ve got three copies to giveaway.

Written by François Lelord, Hector and the Secrets of Love is the follow up to Hector and the Search for Happiness.  Hector is a young psychiatrist who sets off to track down a rogue scientist who has fled a pharmaceutical company with their love potion. Naturally,  Hector has a few adventures along the way and stumbles upon a bit of love himself (no potion required).

It was a sweet, lovey-dovey, easy read with enough doses of real-life relationship drama to keep it grounded and my eye-rolling at bay (I’m an eye roller… give me a sappy scene and my eyes look straight to heaven, and that may or may not be followed by a finger jabbed into the mouth tongue stuck out kind of look… I’m very mature, I know).  In short, it’s perfect for these summer days; a little sun, and a little Hector, and you’re all set.

There are four chances to win… 1. If you’d like to enter the giveaway, leave a comment telling me your favorite summertime book and you’ll have one entry (and I’ll have a book to add to my ever growing amazon basket). 2. For an additional entry, follow my blog and leave another comment letting me know that you do. 3. If you’d like another chance at Hector, ‘like’ me on Facebook, and leave a comment. 4. And, if you really really want to win, follow me on Twitter (but be sure to let me know, in a comment).

Giveaway closes Thursday, 2nd June.

  7. Funny .. I was just coming to see you and then you pop up and comment on mine. Weird with a capital A (too much chocolate for me today).I didn't know you were an eye roller. My sister is an eye roller. So much so that I nearly called the doctor as her eyes were rolling so bad I thought she had a condition. Turns out she is just being nasty. I bet you are not nasty with your eye rolling??!!!I never enter giveways – not a policy – just because I get confused going to facebook (I have a page but don't use it) then trying to understand twitter (don't even get me started???) etc – so just take this as a jolly old HELLO and see you again soon (-:

  26. Hi there! Sorry I haven't been visiting lately — not just your blog, I promise! As for favorite summer book, I guess I'd have to say something by Anita Shreve — always a good, fast pageturning read. The Weight of Water or Sea Glass are good for summer.
