Bookreporter.com -- Beach Bag of Books Contest

Every week from May 19th through August 25th a different title in the Bookreporter.com Second Annual Beach Bag of Books promotion will be featured with a review and contest prize --- a beach bag stocked with that book, plus summertime essentials that tie in to its theme. Five FABULOUS beach bags will be given away each week, as well as five copies of the book to additional winners.

Our fifteenth (and final) spotlighted title is ROCOCO by Adriana Trigiani, the uproarious tale of a small Italian American town poised for a makeover it never expected. ROCOCO takes on love, lust, tricky family dynamics, and home decorating and our Beach Bag prize is a medley of fun and funky items. In an oversized blue and green checked tote, winners will find an oversized beach towel for two, an H2O Plus travel kit, a giant, luxurious fizzing blue bath ball, scrumptious summer cookies in the shape of flip-flops and a beach ball, flip-flop floating candles (not pictured) and a charming, Rococo-style blue candle --- as well as a copy of the book. We have five to give away, as well as five additional prizes of copies of ROCOCO.
