Giveaway: Very Valentine

March 16, 2010

Last year when I reviewed Very Valentine, by Adriana Trigiani, I had this to say:

Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani is the first book in a new trilogy.  No one can write about families the way Trigiani can.  She reveals the love, frustration and loyalty that all families share.  She is also a master at creating characters that you become emotionally involved with.  This book has wonderful descriptions of food, clothing and shoes.  It made me want to travel to Capri to buy a pair of custom made shoes.  This was not my favorite of Adriana Trigiani’s books (that would be Lucia, Lucia) but I thought it was very enjoyable and I look forward to the next book in the trilogy.

I recently read Brava, Valentine and thought it was great and really think you should read the series in order.  Thanks to TLC Book Tours and Harper Collins, I’m thrilled to be able to give away 3 copies of Very Valentine by Adriana TrigianiTo enter to win one of three copies of VERY VALENTINE, simply leave a comment on this post.  Contest is open to US and Canadian residents only (no PO Boxes, please).  I will use random.org to determine the winner.  Contest ends at midnight EST Tuesday, March 30, 2010,   Winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

    Haven’t read any of her books but the name keeps popping up on the blogs. I am interested in reading this author. One of the greatest perks with blogging besides the friends you meet is the introduction to authors that are new to you.

  15. March 16, 2010 11:48 am

    Add my name to the list. I’d like to try Trigiani too.
