January book giveaway
/
The newsletter should arrive in your inboxes on Thursday, and with it comes the return of the monthly book giveaway for U.S. subscribers. This month I’m giving away Leif Enger’s newest book, Virgil Wander, which is a warm, funny, life-nurturing story about a man who loses his memory and much of his language in an accident, and what happens when he starts to put it all back together. It’s one of my favorite books I read last year and I think it’s a lovely way to start off a new year.
All the details and how to enter in the January newsletter!

Time for another giveaway!
This month I’m offering a book by Willy Vlautin, an author who lives in my small town. Lean on Pete is about a teen boy who steals an aging racehorse and takes off on a journey to find home. It’s about love and determination and kids who fall through the cracks. It’s a touching and heart-breaking story, but Vlautin tells it with a kind of gentle spareness that reminds me at times of Kent Haruf’s writing. Once you’ve read the book, you can watch the movie adaptation which is pretty faithful to the original story and nicely acted. (The young actor who plays the lead is so sweet he'll break your heart.)
