Our End-of-Year Book Giveaway
The year's almost over, so let's have some fun with it.
Tell us about a book you love. It can be one that stayed with you this year, one you keep pressing on friends, or one that surprised you. In 150 words or fewer, tell us why.
Write it by hand and send a photo, or just type it in an email. Whatever feels easiest. You don't need to be a writer to do this. If you can say why a book mattered to you, you're in.
Everyone who shares goes into a drawing for a copy of Min Jin Lee's American Hagwon. We'll draw a name on Monday, December 14 and hand the book over in person in New York City (Jackson Heights folks, this one's for you, but anyone in the city is welcome).
We'll share recommendations on our What We're Reading page and on Instagram as they come in, so you'll get to see what the rest of the community is reading.
Share your book
Email your recommendation to insyncnyc@gmail.com. Include your name, the book, and why you love it, typed or as a photo of your handwritten note.
