I know many of you are fans of the book already and hope you'll be able to join us on I am THRILLED to announced that on Wednesday, July 22nd, I'll be joined on air by Garth Stein to discuss his bestselling novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain. I can't wait for this show. Art of Racing in the Rain is a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope—a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it. This book has touched so many hearts, I think it's going to be a fantastic conversation.
July 22nd at 7 pm EST. For those who have yet to meet Enzo, I also have 10 copies of the book to give away. The first 10 people to comment that they'd like to participate in the live broadcast on the 22nd (by online chat or by phone) will win!
Set your reminder for the show with Garth Stein and share it with a friend! Be sure to visit Garth Stein's website and check out the reading group guide and interviews with Garth -- you can even submit a photo of your own dog!


















































































































I think I already got confirmation from you about winning a copy from the giveaway that you posted earlier this month, but if this is NOT separate then count me! If it IS a different giveaway and I already have one coming in the mail, I will still participate but won't need two books! LOL

Sounds like a fun read! I'd love to sit down with a good book at the beach this summer.

I already have to book, so don't worry about it! Just have to say that your timing is perfect. I am reading this book for my book club and we will be meeting to discuss it on July 23rd! I will tune in on the 22nd and will let the ladies know about the blog talk radio show!

This is a book that has stayed with me. I think I like it more now than I did right after I read it.

Would love to join you - I've been "teased" so much with excerpts and quotes from this book - I need to read the whole thing!

This sounds great. I'll be tuning in. Have you ever read Flush? It is Virginia Woolf's biography Elizabeth Barrett Browning's dog, told from the dog's perspective.

I'd love to participate, but I'll be enjoying a 10-year anniversary trip w/my hubby.
I'm off to the library tomorrow to pick up my copy to read this for my book club this month.
