How to Buy a Love of Reading
July 30, 2009
How to Buy a Love of Reading by Tanya Egan Gibson explores the idea that reading isn’t for everyone, especially not for Carley Wells who sees words as enemies and says of books, “I’ve Never met one I like”. So if she’s not into reading whose crazy idea is it to try and buy her love? Her parents’ idea, that’s who. They’re determined to commission an author to write a book that even Carley Wells can love. And Carley’s into it too, if only to help distract her best friend, Hunter Cay from his blurry world of booze, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Vicodin. Despite her resistance, Carley soon finds herself swept up into the fictional world being written for her and life will never be the same again. Check out the interactive website and award winning book trailer too.

Thank you so much for blogging about my novel!
If your patrons have stories they would like to share about how reading changed — or even “saved” their lives, there is a place on my website where they can submit them. I’m hoping to create a community of stories there about the power *of* stories.
