Book Giveaway: *Sundays at Tiffany’s* by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet
Jan 5th, 2009 by sheistoofondofbooks
Do you like reading romance? Are you a fan or wanna-be-fan of best-selling author James Patterson?! Have I got a deal for you … the generous folks over at Hachette Book Group are co-hosting a giveaway of Sundays at Tiffany’s by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet. They have offered up to five paperback copies of this romantic novel, one for every five entries received at “She is Too Fond of Books.”
Here’s the publisher’s synopsis of Sundays at Tiffany’s:
As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother, the powerful head of a Broadway theater company, has no time for her. She does have one friend - a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael - but only she can see him.
Years later, Jane is in her thirties and just as alone as ever. Then she meets Michael again - as handsome, smart and perfect as she remembers him to be. But not even Michael knows the reason they’ve really been reunited.
Sundays at Tiffany’s is a love story with an irresistible twist, a novel about the child inside all of us - and the boundary-crossing power of love.
Does that pique your interest?! To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment below indicating why you’d like to read Sundays at Tiffany’s (huge James Patterson fan? have you read any of Gabrielle Charbonnet’s children’s books? does the retro styling of the cover grab you? etc.). Enter by midnight on Friday January 16; I’ll used random.org to pull the names of the five winners, and will post them on Saturday January 17. The books are being shipped directly from the publisher, so the giveaway is open only in the U. S. and Canada; no P. O. Boxes, please.
p.s. if you just can’t wait to find out if you’re a winner, continue reading the story here. Hachette has the first seven chapters available online!

















I’d like to read this one because I’m a JP fan. Please enter me!
I’d like to read this book because I haven’t yet read anything by JP. Shocking, I know.
I love James Patterson! But, I’ve only read his “other” stuff. I’d like to try out this side of him.
I had an imaginary friend once — he was a world traveler . . .
i do like the retro cover!
I’m going to admit that I’ve never read any of James Patterson’s books. But what’s drawn me to this book is the synopsis. An imaginary friend who returns when she’s all grown up… so intriguing!
Please count me in. =)
Oh, I read the review of this and it brought up all sorts of memories of my imaginary hordes of yore. I just loved the idea but haven’t gotten around to scouting the library for it (these books are usually only checked out for a week and I can never finish them in time). If you give me a copy, I will write a review of it. I need the practice and I am starting to enjoy the whole reviewing thing.
I’ve posted this on Win a Book. No need to enter the contest.
I’d love to read this — I’ve been reading quite a few “heavy duty” books, and I’d like to read something dreamy and romantic. Thanks for the chance!

Love, love, love James Patterson. Thanks for entering my name!
I’m intrigued by yet another genre from James Patterson - I’ve read his slasher murder mysteries, his YA series, and now what appears to be fantasy/romance. Interesting.
I’m a huge James Patterson fan!
I don’t think I’ve read any of Patterson’s books yet although I’d love to! THis book caught my eye due to the title and the cover picture! Thanks for the giveaway! ~
I’m a big JP fan> I’d love to read this. I’ve heard it’s different!
James Patterson? Romance? I’ve never read a Patterson book but I don’t think of romance when I hear his name. I’m interested in the book just for that reason. Also, I don’t think he usually writes with anyone else, does he? I think the cover is interesting with his name in large type at the top and hers in small type at the bottom.

I just got done reading Cross Country, so this would be a huge change from that! The whole imaginary friend thing is very interesting too.

I would love to read it because I am trying to reconnect with the child in me… I wasn’t very good at being a kid when I was one!
I have heard good things about this author so I am very interested in reading this book.

I’d like to win because I too have never read a James Patterson, but my sister in law raves about him. She’s very shy, so this could be a good way to break the ice. Also the first few chapters were great, now I definitely want to finish.
Thanks!

This sounds like a really good book. I have always enjoyed reading Patterson’s thrillers and would like to see how this compares.
one can never be to fond of books, thanks
can’t get enough of patterson
I would love to read this.

I’ve only read two of Patterson’s books so far and I really enjoyed both of them. This sounds different than the others, so I’d like to see how he tackles something besides the suspense/thrillers that I’ve read. The premise is different and very intriguing.
I can’t wait to read this!
I love Patterson’s books and this one will not disappoint, I’m sure! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway.
love his books
After all of the Patterson books I’ve read, romance & a touch of whimsy doesn’t sound like a natural fit. This should make for a very interesting read. Thanks for the drawing.

~ I love James Patterson, but it’s the cover of the book that grabs my attention first ~ I would love a large version of the cover to hang on my wall ~ . I am HORRIBLE about judging a book by it’s cover
What a great giveaway! James Patterson is one of my favourite authors!
Well, I’m a sucker for good romances and this sounds like a wonderful one. It’s my first James Patterson book.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love all his books, and would really like to win this one
Ok. You’ve got me convinced. I definitely want to read this one. I’m a huge bookworm who runs through books like most ladies run through pantyhose-no much faster than that. Anyway, I am usually weary about picking up a romance novel. I usually pick up suspense and mystery type novels instead. It’s not because I don’t enjoy romance novels. It’s because many of them offered up for sale are cheesy, gag-me and make-the-publisher-deadline-type paperbacks. If I do buy a romance novel it’s because it was written by reputable author or I’ve heard about it from a reputable source. I LOVE James Patterson! I’ve read many of his books. He’s a seriously talented suspense novelist. My curiosity is peeked. I would love to read this one. Please count me in!!!
I need a great read to read on the subway …and I love James Patterson…easy, perfect, wonderful read. THANKS
Patterson is the best

I’m in need of a little romance in my life and it looks like this book just might do the trick
The book sounds intriguing and delightful, from the excerpt printed. I don’t know how long it is, but it’s just the kind of book I’d be tempted to read from to my college writing class. It sounds like the kind of romanticism that’s perfect to wake up the masses in a Monday morning 8am class.
