Who is who?! Which is which?!?!

Not to brag, but I would say I’m pretty good at reading. Like, I have finished entire books, sometimes in under a month. And I like to think that I’m decently acquainted with the literary canon (“Jane Eyre? She’s the one who wrote Pride and Prejudice, right?”).

But I have a secret shame: there are some authors I always, ALWAYS mix up. And I don’t think I’m the only one.

Hey BookLikes users! We've got some awesome giveaways for you this month! 

You can enter to win The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook, Stuff Every Groom Should Know, and Stuff Every Golfer Should Know in our January giveaways. We can't wait to see some of your early reviews! 

Good luck! 

Working in publishing, sometimes it can be really easy to lose all concept of time. All around the office, you can spot books that aren't set to come out for another, oh, six months or so. This is a common scene around the HQ:

"Did this come out yet?"

"No Eric, that book isn't out for another year."

"What about this one?"

"That book comes out today… did you have your coffee yet?!" 

And you know what? I'd like to confuse you a little too. 

The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook (March 24th), The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy (May 12th), and Nick & Tesla's Special Effects Spectacular (May 5th) aren't due out for a little while, and this is your chance to win a prize pack with all three! I'll even include a sampler of Manhattan Mayhem (April 7th), which includes four stories from the upcoming collection.

Go ahead and enter the Rafflecopter below. I've got THREE prize packs to send out. Good luck!

Happy New Year, crafty readers! How-To Tuesday is back, and this week we're cracking open our Quirk Throws You 5 Awesome Parties eBook and showing you how to make this adorable Pom Poms Headband. This tutorial can also be found in Pom Poms!. Crafters can shrink the pom on this showstopper headband to their liking, trimming it smaller for a subtler look. For a seriously glam look, use glittery tulle.

The holidays are over and New York City is getting back into the swing of things with a plethora of amazing literary events. This week brings the opportunity to hear stories at The Moth, celebrate exciting new historical fiction, and party with BOMB magazine.
