reading: arthur

Excellent news! Although only one person can win the ARC of CROSSED here on the blog, my awesome publisher has sent me a couple of copies to give away at my library events this summer. I'll have some my event next Tuesday, June 21 at the Orem Library, and a few more at the event in August at the Salt Lake City Public Library. You must be present to win (we'll do a drawing or something like that). As always, check the Events page for more info.

People often ask me what kind of books I like to read and I always say "anything." My three favorite authors of all time are Wallace Stegner, Anne Tyler, and Agatha Christie. I read a lot of young adult novels–a LOT. I love them.

And I also read a lot of adult fiction. Particularly when I'm doing my own writing. I think it's because I find it restful in that it's different from what I do. It feels more like a break.

Right now I'm reading The Tragedy of Arthur by Arthur Phillips. I'm not very far in but I love a story within a story, like POSSESSION by A.S. Byatt. So far, it is excellent (I'm only about 20 pages in).

What are you reading?

P.S. I'm at WIFYR today, giving a keynote address at 3:00 p.m. and then signing books afterwards until 6:00 p.m. It's all open to the public! Come visit.
