In anticipation of her book release, Sarah Pekkanen, author of the twin fiction novel The Opposite of Me, is offering a chance to win some awesome prizes by pre-ordering her book on March 3, 2010 only.

Pre-order your copy of The Opposite of Me at Double Up Books  and we’ll send your information to the author to be entered!

Here are her raffle prizes:

• A small, sleek HD camcorder from DXG USA’s Pro Gear line for 2010, which retails for $300.
• A gift bag containing five hot new Simon & Schuster releases.
• Five high-end, cotton t-shirts from Heart Threads Clothing. You pick the size, color and secret message printed on the inside of your shirt and worn close to your heart. Five winners!

• A $35 gift certificate to MAC cosmetics (Lindsey is a fan of their eyeshadow) and a gorgeous red bustier from Affinitas Intimates.

But that’s not all!  #1 New York Times bestseller Jennifer Weiner, author of 7 blockbusters including Best Friends Forever and In Her Shoes, is supporting The Opposite of Me by holding an incredible giveaway of her own! Please visit Jen’s website at www.jenniferweiner.blogspot.com for the details of how she is giving a free, autographed copy of one of her books to every single person who orders The Opposite of Me on March 3 only, until she runs out of books – which she says won’t be for a while (yes, you read that right – you get a Jen Weiner book – two books for the price of one, while supplies last.

I got my hands on an advance copy of this book and I’m loving it!  It’s just what I needed to read right now while I’m waiting for the dark winter days to pass and the start of spring to begin.  If you’re a fan of authors like Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, and Sophie Kinsella I think you’ll also like this debut novel.

This is a story about fraternal twin sisters Lindsey and Alex.  Lindsey, although successful in her own right, always felt inadequate when comparing herself to her beautiful twin sister.  We meet single Lindsey when she is just about to receive her dream job offer – to become the youngest VP ever at the NYC ad agency that she has been working countless hours at.  One mishap happens after another and the door to her opportunity shuts just like that.  She must now pick herself up, dust herself off, and head back home to be reunited with her family and start her career anew.  But, can she cope with her failures at the same time that her perfect sister is planning her dream wedding?

I’m really enjoying the story so far and I know it’s going to be one of those books that I’m going to be sad when it ends.  Although my description above makes it sound heavy, it’s actually a fun read with a lot of humor and warmth.  I can see this as a perfect summer read too.

So head on over tomorrow (March 3, 2010) to pre-order your book at Double Up Books and be entered into the raffle PLUS get a Jennifer Weiner book too, while supplies last.  We’ll ship your book as soon as it’s published.

Good luck!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Ad Leaked

Happy Thanksgiving!  I always find it funny when I see that an ad or announcement gets “leaked” because we all know that it was probably done intentional from the company itself.  So, in the spirit of all of the big box retailers having their Black Friday ad “leaked,”  Double Up Books’ Black Friday ad was also mysteriously leaked to the press too!  Normally the ads come out on Thanksgiving, but most retailers accidently on purpose release their ads before hand to get customers excited.

Here are all the great deals that we’ll be offering from Thanksgiving through December 1, 2009 (Cyber Monday)!

 

What’s Black Friday?  Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the retail world.  Many, many retailers have special deals and savings for shoppers as everyone begins their holiday shopping.

What’s Cyber Monday?  Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving in the online retail world.  It’s the day that many online retailers offer incredible deals throughout the day.  More and more online retailers are also participating in Black Friday days so it’s become less of a focus for retailers.

Shopping for twins or triplets this holiday season?  Then, be sure to take advantage of our special Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals at the ONLY bookstore that specializes in books for and about twins, triplets and multiples at http://www.DoubleUpBooks.com

Paris Morris Books – Buy 1, Get 1 FREE!

We are so excited to announce this promotion – Paris Morris, the 10 year old author of I’m Having Twins and My Twins are Coming Home, is celebrating a birthday and we’re giving away FREE books in her honor! 

I’m Having Twins is an inspirational children’s book about a 5-year-old girl coming to terms with her family’s upcoming expansion to include twins. It’s based upon the real life experiences of a little girl named Paris who lives in San Francisco. The story begins as Paris learns that she will soon have twin siblings and ends as the family leaves for the hospital for their birth. The book takes Paris through the trials and tribulations of a twin pregnancy from the big sister’s perspective and shows her how they are really hers too, easing her transition to being the big sister. The detailed illustrations are colorful and cute and tie in beautifully with the story.

In My Twins are Coming Home,  Paris Morris is back again with another book about being the big sister to twin siblings. This time, in the second of five books in the series, Paris describes her experiences once her twin sisters are born. Through her unique storytelling approach, she talks about seeing her sisters in the hospital’s intensive care unit, waiting three weeks for them to come home, why they came home at different times, and how she feels sharing her sisters with family and friends. This is one book you won’t want to miss!

There are 3 options to choose from:

1.  Buy I’m Having Twins and get a second copy FREE.

2.  Buy My Twins are Coming Home and get a second copy FREE.

3.  Buy I’m Having Twins and get My Twins are Coming Home FREE.

Needless to say, this promotion is for a limited time only and only while supplies last.  Be sure to get your copies of her fantastic book before it’s too late.
