Special Paperback Celebration Day--SAY NO MORE

HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN: 

Big news! And a giveaway below.  

But first, isn't this cute? My grandchildren were here for a weekend, and one thing I can never get over is how much fun it is to see them read. This is a great photo of my stepson and our younger grandson out by the pool. Reading. Books.


(Isn't it adorable?)

 When we moved inside, everybody still was reading paperbacks. Josh reading Rick Riordan, Paul reading Colson Whitehead, Elijah reading Freakonomics. Their mom was reading a textbook for her teaching program, but still, it was a trade paperback.

Again, it's summer, and no one wants to get sunscreen on a hardcover.

But when I went upstairs to get my book, I saw on our guestroom shelves… masses and masses and masses of mass market paperbacks.

 So many many many mass-market paperbacks that they are double and triple on some of the shelves.

What should I do with those? I can tell you, with some embarrassment, that the second and third layers back I don't even know what books are there! So why why why am I keeping them? Because I adored them all at some point, and some I could never ever part with. 

Do you read mass-market paperbacks? 

I guess even more important --do you still buy them? 

The mass-market paperback of Say No More comes out TODAY! (It's a Mary Higgins Clark, Daphne and Agatha nominee!)

And a big surprise about the SAY NO MORE paperback below. Keep reading.

They are so nicely tuckable into a purse, and takable to the beach and pool, and they are light, and if you lose one, you can just buy another one, right? And be happy that some lucky person gets the book you forgot.

How do you feel about mass-market paperbacks?

Do you buy them? Keep them? What do you do with them? Why do you like them….Or not?

Do you believe they are soon going the way of the transistor radio?

But let me ask you this:  If I gave you another paperback (by me or a pal of mine) IF you bought SAY NO MORE in paperback, would that be a good thing?

Or would you just sigh and wonder, what am I going to do with another book? 

And here's the cool part.  The paperback of SAY NO MORE includes a big juicy excerpt--three whole chapters!--of my 2018 standalone psychological thriller TRUST ME.

So thrilled and excited for you to read it.  (And SO nervous.)

So. Click here for the offer.  I know it gives you three choices of what book you want, but if you ordered (thank you!) tell me in the comments if you'd rather have pot luck. (Just for readers of Jungle Red.) 

(And hey, if you already have the hardcover (smooch) you can buy the paperback "for a friend" and read the excerpt before you give it way! Just a suggestion.)

Hurray! It's paperback launch day. And tell us what you do when you have too many paperbacks--or is there such a thing?
