A little death and humor, anyone?

By Mir

December 5, 2009

A month or so ago, my friendly (and awesome) contact at Hachette Book Group sent me an ARC (that’s an advance reader copy) of A Field Guide to Burying Your Parents by Liza Palmer. I put it on the towering pile of books on my nightstand, and about a week ago I managed to finish it. (I like to swallow books whole, in a single sitting, and my life isn’t terribly amenable to that these days. So I squirrel a book away in my purse and read it in little chunks in the carpool line and such.) I’d never read anything by Palmer before and I have to tell you: I am smitten. Field Guide is funny and wrenching, delightful and tragic, and just plain a great read—even if you have to read it in the carpool line. But hey, don’t take my word for it: The cover blurb is by Meg Cabot, proclaiming Liza Palmer to be one of her new favorite writers. Yeah. That Meg Cabot.

Six lucky Want Not readers are going to receive a hot-off-the-presses copy of Field Guide, which is being released later this month, and one of you will also receive Liza Palmer’s previous two books as well (Conversations with the Fat Girl and Seeing Me Naked). Care to deck the halls with rockin’ chick lit? Me, too.

To enter, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 7:59 a.m. Eastern (that’s 4:59 a.m. Pacific) on Monday, December 7th, 2009 to be in the running. Winners to be determined by random number generation and general awesomeness.

Ready? Go!

I feel a little morbid saying this, as I don’t especially WANT to bury my mom, but me?

(Dad died some time ago; it’s not maternal preference or anything. 😉
Holly on December 5, 2009 at 4:40 pm

I also love devouring books whole. So although it will probably mean the dishes and dirty laundry will pile up, I woiuld love to read these books!
Rebecca on December 5, 2009 at 4:42 pm

I would love to read a book about this topic–my daddy is 75 and my mother is 73 and when I look at them I feel the cold wind of grief sweep over me already!
Dabney on December 5, 2009 at 4:42 pm

I always need a new book.
Amy on December 5, 2009 at 4:43 pm

I love a good book!
elizabeth on December 5, 2009 at 4:43 pm

Here’s hoping none of us face that dilemma soon!
Em on December 5, 2009 at 4:44 pm

I’m Irish so I kind of prefer death to be funny AND wrenching (and with a pint, if you please). Sign me up!
Carol on December 5, 2009 at 4:47 pm

I hope I win!
Denise on December 5, 2009 at 4:47 pm

If it weren’t for the library, we could never keep up with our addiction. Can you help me out?
VirginiaMom on December 5, 2009 at 4:49 pm

amy on December 5, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Reading is my most favorite thing to do. I neglect housework, and my kids, when I have a particulary good book. Please pick me, my children have been getting far too much attention lately:)
Katie on December 5, 2009 at 5:24 pm

I’m the same way, and I haven’t found a really gripping read lately – thanks!

Stephanie on December 5, 2009 at 5:55 pm

Oh my. On reading the description, I had to check the author’s bio just to make sure she wasn’t one of my aunts… This one hits close to home, and I’d love to get a book that might make me laugh about such things.
jess on December 5, 2009 at 5:55 pm

You know me, always up for a little dark humor. 😉

Sarah on December 5, 2009 at 7:54 pm

I love books … all books, but lately chick-lit holds a special place in my heart (and is so much easier to pass on to friends – and my mom – than my sci-fi and fantasy favourites.

Have I ever told you about my addiction to books? ‘Tis true, and not a bad addiction to feed. Really! And I share! So my winning a book is like an entire community winning a book. Good thoughts
Brigitte on December 6, 2009 at 7:00 am

Addiction indeed . . my reading addiction fulfills the criteria, I let housework and other important things slide just so I can READ!

Tara N Edwards on December 6, 2009 at 8:10 am

As always, I wake up, open my laptop and check Mir’s site.
Anyway, reading your post about HOW you read is like me… especially carpool. I sit in carpool for preschool (ok only for 25 minutes) and for my kindergartner (that one I sit for nearly 45 minutes). Reading a book is probably better than messing with my iPhone everyday 🙂
Hollie on December 6, 2009 at 8:19 am

I don’t think I would have picked it up by the title (kinda morbid and if my mother saw it she’d probably be a bit worried), but your recommendation has me curious to read it now. 🙂
mamabird on December 6, 2009 at 8:30 am

Reading is cool.
Deb on December 6, 2009 at 8:39 am

The title intrigues me!
Nancee on December 6, 2009 at 8:49 am
