If you're a frequent visitor to the blog you will know that I have read and loved all of Dawn Ius' novels. Her newest, Lizzie, comes out April 10th and I am thrilled to help reveal the pre-order campaign for this amazing book.
First, here is the Goodreads synopsis in case you're not familiar with the book:
Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Borden has never been kissed. Polite but painfully shy, Lizzie prefers to stay in the kitchen, where she can dream of becoming a chef and escape her reality. With tyrannical parents who force her to work at the family’s B&B and her blackout episodes—a medical condition that has plagued her since her first menstrual cycle—Lizzie longs for a life of freedom, the time and space to just figure out who she is and what she wants.Amazing, right?! The Lizzie Borden case has always fascinated me, and if you'r into true crime inspired novels I highly recommend this one.
Enter the effervescent, unpredictable Bridget Sullivan. Bridget has joined the B&B’s staff as the new maid, and Lizzie is instantly drawn to her artistic style and free spirit—even her Star Wars obsession is kind of cute. The two of them forge bonds that quickly turn into something that’s maybe more than friendship.
But when her parents try to restrain Lizzie from living the life she wants, it sparks something in her that she can’t quite figure out. Her blackout episodes start getting worse, her instincts less and less reliable. Lizzie is angry, certainly, but she also feels like she’s going mad…
Dawn has crafted a special thank you gift for those who pre-order the book. Anyone who emails dawniuspreorders@gmail.com with a copy of their receipt (and mailing address) before April 9th at midnight EST will receive the following:
1- a signed book plate
2- this Lizzie Borden paper doll
I have read Lizzie and this is SO perfect. I immediately wanted one of these for myself when I saw the finished product.
That is not all though. Each person who pre-orders will also be put into a draw for a grand prize giveaway. One lucky winner will receive the following:
-Lizzie bookmarks
-recipe card (featuring a recipe that was a specialty of the real Lizzie Borden)
-a signed copy of both Overdrive and Anne & Henry
-an assortment of other Lizzie Borden inspired items
You can pre-order from your preferred retailer, and this is open internationally. Remember to have it in before April 9th at midnight EST to be eligible.
