Freezing rain and fog here in Minnesota, with the roads so treacherous that schools are closed. I’d much rather have an actual blizzard…but a flurry of words and links and news will have to do.

First things first: The advance reading copies of The Books of Elsewhere, Volume Four: The Strangers have arrived at my house in their excitingly heavy box!  If you (or someone you know) is a book blogger or reviewer, and you would like an ARC of The Strangers, contact me in the comments or email me at jacqueline@jacquelinewest.com.  Obviously, quantities are limited, but I will guarantee a copy for the first three reviewer-respondents.

(For now, this offer is for bloggers/reviewers only.  I will very likely do a giveaway for readers in a few more weeks, so stay tuned!)

Speaking of book bloggers, two great reviews of The Second Spy appeared on Book Nut and Book ‘Em! Huge thanks to everyone who is spreading the word in this way.

I learned that The Second Spy was nominated for the 2012 Cybils Awards, as well as for the Minnesota Book Awards.  It isn’t a finalist for either, but both awards have been very kind to The Books of Elsewhere in the past, and truly fantastic books are on both lists.

The Second Spy also got a mention (and its picture!) in Publishers Weekly, in an article on holiday book sales.

My spring travel schedule is about to get really crazy, with more events being added all the time.   Keep an eye on http://jacquelinewest.com/appearance-calendar.php, if you’re interested.  This weekend, I’m off to booksALIVE! in Panama City, Florida.  So long, freezing rain.  Hello, Emerald Coast.

  1. I would love an arc of The Strangers! The Books of Elsewhere is one of my favorite series (I’ve reviewed it before!)–very much looking forward to the fourth book.

  2. I would love to blog and promote your new book. I’ve read the first two and enjoyed them very much. My daughter has all three and is anxiously awaiting the next. My blog is a blend of book talk, illustration, writing. Let me know. Either way – I’ll share the posts for you on FB. It’s a great series.

  3. Hi, I Love your books!!!! I would love to be able to review this book for you. I was recently given the opportunity to review a book for someone and realized how much i loved doing it. I do all my reviews on Goodreads, Pinterest, B&N and Amazon. I am working on getting myself a blog. Would love to add your book to my (short at least for now) list of books I have reviewed.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this and consider me.

    Michelle 🙂

  4. I would LOOOOOVEEE an arc for this awesome book, it would be simply MAGICAL for me. If it is anything like the first three in this series… I will certainly suggest it to the bookstore I work for and promote it at the libraries i volunteer at. I will also (of course) blog about it!!!

    Let me know your decision.
