Discover Your Next Great Summer Read

Stone_creekYou may have noticed the lovely box on the right-hand side of the blog under the banner "Check it Out!" Click on that box and you can read an exclusive sneak peek of the new novel, Stone Creek, which goes on sale one week from today. In Stone Creek, author Victoria Lustbader tells a very modern love story, about a woman who is happily married, but unhappy in life, who finds herself drawn to a widower with a young son. I read this book in one sitting, with some kleenex by my side. The first ten people to read and comment on the sneak peek will receive a copy of the book. And if you get your address to me by Wednesday (I'll email you when I get your comment) we'll do our best to get you the book to enjoy on your Memorial Day weekend!

I loved what I read, for more than one reason. My Mother is ten years older than my step Father, and they have been very happy for forty two years. I wasn’t sure where to leave the comment, but since I didn’t find a place at HC, I came back over here. No matter, I will purchase this book either way. Danny and little Caleb reach out, taking you in from the excerpt, and Lily is already so relatable that I can’t wait to share this with my Mother.

I am hooked! This book looks great and I would love to read more. I was born & raised in New York, so I think I could relate to the setting, as well as to Lily. I would love a copy. Thank you.

I would love to read this book. It looks terrific! I always love a good tear-jerker! :)

Thanks for sharing this preview-this looks like a great summer read with plenty to discuss and I'd love to share it with my bok club:)

I tried my best to open the preview, but it just won't work of my computer! I love your description though and would enjoy reading this book. Could you please send one my way?

I have to admit that at first glance this book didn't seem like my kind of thing . . . but I checked out the Sneak Peek and it really drew me in! Great idea. I'd like to read this.

Ok, I've tried 4 times to load the preview but it is just not working. :( But here's what I can say just from what I've read about the book so far: It's not my usual book fare, but the story is intriguing. I'm trying to broaden my reading spectrum so I'd love to read this one. And of course I'll post a review on my blog as soon as I finish. :)

I've tried for 30 minutes to load the preview - 5 different times! I guess many of us are trying at once? I'll definately be trying later today - the book sounds great. Oops, now I can't get the post to post ...

I would love to have a good book to read in the hammock on Memorial day.

This book looks wonderful - thanks for the Sneek Peek!

Hi,

I love what I have read so far! It is so much fun trying to imagine living in someone else's shoes.

What I've read so far is amazing. The author does a wonderful job of describing the setting. I'm completely drawn in!

Thanks so much for the book - I finished it already! Come visit my blog to check out my review (dated 5/29/08)in case you're interested.

thanks for the sneak peak. i am looking forward to reading the whole book when it comes out.....if i don't win a copy i will buy one anyway....(i probably shouldn't tell you that huh?) oh well, good luck to me.

Who is Book Club Girl?

  • Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.
