How wonderful is this! I’ve known New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne for nearly thirty years. I consider her one of my oldest friends in the business, so I asked her to sign a hundred copies of her new book, THE RAINY DAY BOOKSHOP, for us—and she did! You can get one in our cute “Cheers” Box or on its own: https://brendanovakstore.com/

Have you ever wondered how 1,000 Brenda Novak Book Boxes get shipped out each month? My niece packs them! Luckily, it’s summer so her son is able to help for a few months. How cute is this picture of them after packing June’s Box? We still have a few more June boxes if you’d like to get one (you won’t want to miss the best face cream ever—and all the other goodies).

Whoa—the piles just keep getting bigger! I came home from a reader conference to 2,000 more copies of MEET ME IN ITALY I need to sign! I’m putting on my true crime shows that play in the background while I do it and diving in! Will I be signing one for you? Every copy goes out with a FREE lemon bag charm (while supplies last), so get your order in: https://brendanovakstore.com/products/mmiibag

I’m announcing a surprise for July!

The RAGT reader conference that Lori Foster started twenty-one years ago is always so much fun! Jane Porter is doing a great job taking over. What is your favorite reader conference?
