Check out what’s on the desk of Cosmopolitan’s editor-in-chief. No, not the rolodex…a copy of Maggie Shipstead’s Seating Arrangements!
We’re happy to introduce the NWK Tumblr Book Club! (We asked, and you answered!)
After consulting with our brilliant books editor, we selected 5 titles from our “Best Summer Reads of 2012” list. Now it’s up to YOU to pick which of the 5 we read first. We’ll announce your pick later this week, and let’s plan to start reading next week (July 2nd)!
Oh boy! Seating Arrangements is up as a possible selection for the Newsweek / Daily Beast Book Club. I guarantee you will enjoy reading it. Won’t you cast a vote?
Courtney Sullivan’s calling it “the best book I’ve read in ages.” Click on the cover to read the first chapter of Maggie Shipstead’s Seating Arrangements, on sale June 12th.
