GIVEAWAY: Crossing Washington Square by Joanne Rendell

by

Hi everyone, I’ve got a great giveaway for you! It’s for 1 – signed copy of Joanne Rendell’s newest novel, Crossing Washington Sqaure. I’m a huge fan of Joanne’s having read her first novel, The Professors’ Wives’ Club last year. She’s a wonderful writer and a great person as well. I haven’t yet had a chance to read Crossing Washington Square with all that’s been going on at home but it’s next on my list and I can’t wait!

Here’s a bit about the book from Joanne’s website:

Some women follow their hearts; others follow their minds. In this “charming, witty, and cerebral” second novel from the acclaimed author of The Professors’ Wives’ Club, we return to Manhattan University, where two strong-willed women are compelled to unite their senses and sensibilities.

Professor Diana Monroe is a highly respected scholar of Sylvia Plath. Serious and aloof, she steadfastly keeps her mind on track. Professor Rachel Grey is young and impulsive, with a penchant for teaching popular women’s fiction like Bridget Jones’ Diary and The Devil Wears Prada, and for wearing her heart on her sleeve.

The two conflicting personalities meet head to heart when Carson McEvoy, a handsome and brilliant professor visiting from Harvard, sets his eyes on both women and creates even more tension between them. Now Diana and Rachel are slated to accompany an undergraduate trip to London, where an almost life-threatening experience with a student celebrity will force them to change their minds and heal their hearts…together.

What can you do to enter to win Joanne’s novel…

  • For 2 entries follow my blog. If you do, make sure to let me know and the extra entry is yours as well.
  • For 3 entries blog or tweet this giveaway to spread the word.

This giveaway is open internationally to all my readers! I will draw for the winner on Saturday, Oct 24, 2009. Good luck to all!
