Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Aphrodite in Pieces by Lauren J.A. Bear. Set two centuries before the common era, the story begins when Aphrodite startles a wandering sculptor with an unexpected request: hear my truth, see me as I am, and carve that truth into stone. She has never before allowed anyone to capture her likeness, and as the sculptor works, she reveals fragments of her life, her greatest victories, her deepest regrets, the real stories behind her generosity and her wrath, and the one sweeping love that keeps slipping through her grasp again and again.
Blending memoir and myth with a deeply emotional core, Aphrodite in Pieces asks timeless questions about the nature of love and beauty, and whether either can truly endure.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page. Tilly Nightingale is stunned when she gets a call saying a birthday gift from her husband is waiting for her at the local bookshop—especially since she hasn’t picked up a book for fun in ages, and because Joe passed away five months earlier.
When she arrives, Alfie, the gentle-eyed bookshop owner, explains that Joe arranged a yearlong gift: twelve books, each paired with a handwritten letter meant to guide her through her first year without him. Though Tilly can’t imagine losing herself in a story again, Joe’s words persuade her to try, and soon she finds herself drawn deeply into the books he chose.
As she returns to the shop each month, her conversations with Alfie bring comfort, and the books inspire her to embark on new adventures that take her far beyond her familiar world. And as she begins sharing her experiences, Tilly discovers that her journey, like any good story, grows richer when it becomes something she can pass on to others.
