Two years ago today I wrote my first post on Book Club Girl. Ah, what a two years it's been! Many books, contests, book club discussions and guest posts later--I can't believe the wonderful world of readers and bloggers I've met in that time. To commemorate my blog bday, I thought I'd give away, appropriately enough, Cecilia Ahern's brand new novel, Thanks for the Memories, because I DO thank all of YOU for reading and commenting and making this blog what it is today. (and ps, I love you too ;)) The best is yet to come!
Here's the story of Thanks for the Memories, a heartwarming story of love, hope and second chances from the author of the bestselling PS, I Love You:
How can you know someone you've never met? That's the question haunting Joyce Conway. Recovering from a terrible accident and with her marriage in pieces, Joyce is suddenly plagued by an overwhelming sense of déjà vu that makes her feel as if the life she's living is not her own. During the day she has vivid memories of things she's never seen—such as cobblestoned Parisian streets she's never visited—and at night she dreams of a little girl she's sure she's never met. Joyce is convinced she's lost her mind . . . until a series of coincidences leads her on a journey to meet the one person who may hold the answer she needs.
Someone's life could be depending on you right now. . . . That's the pitch that finally persuades Justin Hitchcock to donate blood—the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. Restless and lonely, Justin chased his ex-wife and daughter from Chicago to London, and now he's in Dublin, guest-lecturing to bored college students. When he receives a basket of muffins with a thank-you note attached, he's sure someone's playing a joke on him, but then the presents keep coming. Intrigued, Justin is determined to solve the mystery—a quest that will change his life forever.
