I’m so excited to share The Bungalow with you, the second novel by my lovely friend, Sarah Jio. It was released today and I just jumped on Amazon and ordered my Kindle version, plus some paperback copies as gifts to send to friends and family as well!
If you recall, Sarah’s first novel was The Violets of March, which was a huge success and such a thrill to read. I really can’t wait to dig into Bungalow — I’m even putting the book I’m currently reading on the back-burner because I can’t wait to get into this story!
Sarah will also be reading from The Bungalow at Ravenna Third Place Books on January 10th — I’ll be attending and I’d love to see you there!
And of course, it wouldn’t be the same without a little giveaway to mark the exciting day! I’m giving away a copy of The Bungalow by Sarah Jio to one lucky Being5 reader — I’ll even have Sarah personalize and sign it at her reading. Prefer to read it via Kindle? That’s okay too — I’m happy to send the winner their copy of The Bungalow digitally!

I have been waiting for this book to come out! I loved The Violets of March SO MUCH.
Obviously I would take my husband to Bora Bora, we never got a proper honeymoon

I could NOT put her first book down. She is a gifted writer.

Being selfish, since I was going to buy the book anyway at her upcoming book signing at Third Place (see you there!) AND I’m a FB friend/fiend.
Bora Bora… wow. Have never been there. Would love to take the hubs and leave the kids at home. Maybe when they’re in college?
Anyway, looking forward to reading Sarah’s latest masterpiece! I honestly don’t know how she churns out such great stuff with 3 little ones at home.

Sorry about that! My earlier comment was a little wonky.
