Mega Giveaway + #TyrannyChat Book Recommendations

Hi!

First, I want to share the awesome contest we’re doing on Instagram right now. You can win 15 BOOKS – 1 by each contributing author in A TYRANNY OF PETTICOATS – plus TYRANNY swag. How do you enter? All you have to do is post a fun picture of the book on Instagram – with you, your pet, or in some fun bookstagram arrangement.

Second, we had such a fun #Tyrannychat on twitter last week. Both authors and readers chimed in with great book recommendations. And I wouldn’t be a good librarian if I didn’t share the wealth, right?
