Gwen Cooper, the renowned author who brought us Homer's Odyssey, (which I reviewed here on August 8, 2010), has just released her latest book: LOVE SAVES THE DAY!
Gwen has a special place in my heart. Little did she know when she contacted me on Twitter back in the summer of 2010 asking if I would be interested in reviewing Homer's Odyssey, I was terrified! The review I did for her was my FIRST book review. I never told her that because I didn't want her to know that I had no clue what I was doing at the time. My review of Homer's Odyssey was the beginning of what is probably the most popular feature on Cat Chat, my book reviews.
I am honored to be one of a number of cat bloggers who were personally asked by Gwen to review her latest book: LOVE SAVES THE DAY! My review will be featured at a later date, but I wanted you to know about an exciting contest that Gwen is conducting right now!
ORDER LOVE SAVES THE DAY BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY 20th and you could win the GRAND PRIZE, a visit from Gwen! Gwen will come to your home town and lead a book club discussion in a library, at your favorite shelter, at a coffee shop, book store or even in your living room! She will answer all of your questions as well!
SECOND PRIZE: you could win a portrait of your dog, cat, horse or whatever animal, by Sue Hains, an incredibly talented animal portrait artist who did this gorgeous portrait of Homer. She CAN work from photos!

THIRD PRIZE: Autographed copies of LOVE SAVES THE DAY and Homer's Odyssey, plus one of the original photos of Homer (also autographed) that was used to create the artwork for Homer's Odyssey.

Wow Caren and Cody--you are certainly famous and well connected to have Gwen Cooper give you this scoop! Thanks for sharing. I would do almost anything to have Gwen come to Miami--but it would not be to talk at coffee shop but to my condo association about cats in general! We are on a mission to educate residents about stray cats. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteWe just got our Kindle copy, one minute after midnight on the 15th! Halfway through - can't wait to finish it!
ReplyDeletelooks like a good read
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Thursday. Look forward to the review.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
WE are so excited about this book. I loved Homer and so we ordered this book. I don't usually order books, but I had to have this one. That is such a great contest.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read it! But might wait until it comes out in paperback and thus cheaper on kindle!!! I loved Homer's Odyssey!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that Gwen would come to my home town lolol!!! She'd need her wellies and a few shots ;)
I am very glad that you started doing book reviews. Your reviews have helped me find some great books for both me and my children (also pet lovers) to read. I can't wait to order this book and read your upcoming review.
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to read this book!!! We had the privilege of talking with Gwen when we were campaigning for Blind Cat Rescue and she is exactly as you'd imagine. Warm, engaging, funny and a passionate advocate for our feline friends. We'll be sure to enter and share!

DeleteCaren and Cody, what a great contest! Homer's Odyssey I think will be one of the most respected cat "biographies" ever written. It's so nice to think there's a new book out now!
ReplyDeleteWe all love Homer's Odyssey! We love Gwen and We love Homer. We are sure her new book will be magic!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sweet book =)
ReplyDeleteMy Human is so utterly uncooperative when it comes to reading material. Honestly, you'd think she didn't even HAVE a cat. Seriously. I need to find her credit cards.
ReplyDeleteSigh! IF TW read, she's love it. We loved Homer's book.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review!! All the best wishes to Gwen and what a wonderful contest!
ReplyDeleteThe mom is going to order this for her Kindle. She is so recited & hopes you are reading fast without breaks. Thanks for letting us know about the contest.
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly waiting for your review. It looks like my human and I will love the book!

My mum says she is really looking forward to reading Gwen's new book. She loved Homer's book!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that your review of Homer's Odyssey was your first review! Concatulations! How do you get signed up to do these reviews, anyway? I'd love to know!
ReplyDeleteI'm entering this contest as soon as pawsible! Thanks for sharing!
yep it was! I was brand new to blogging at that time. I didn't "sign up" anywhere :) Gwen met me on twitter and liked my writing style and asked if I wanted to review her book. Once I did one, publishers liked them and started mailing me books. I do not get paid for any of my reviews though
