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!

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!

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.
