32 CANDLES: Please Pick Up the July Edition of Essence!

Okay, this is why you want to both pre-order 32 CANDLES and take part in our Wednesday Comment Challenge. Last week’s tote bag winner, Jill Moyer, has now also won a t-shirt. How about that? So make sure to come back tomorrow for a very special edition of our Tote Bag Challenge blogumn.

Also, if you’re near a newsstand, pick up the July edition of Essence. Not only is the cover orange (my absolute favorite color in the entire world), but there’s also a really lovely write-up on 32 CANDLES, which is the Essence Book Club Pick of the Month. I can’t even begin to explain to you how excited I am about this feature, but I can direct you to the blogumn I wrote when I first found out about the honor.
