The holidays are here, and you know what that means! Time for gift-giving… and what could be a better gift this year than to escape into the pages of a good book?

In the New York Times‘ introduction to their top 100 books of the year, they noted that their list “reflects the biggest themes of 2020: racial justice, immigration, ideological divisions, identity and economic disparities.” Though my humble YA eco-thrillers were not even a speck on the radar of The NYT Great Ones, they touch on every theme listed above… all wrapped up in a delicious little page-turning package. 

If you know a friend/relative/coworker/quarantine buddy who might enjoy receiving a copy, both When We Vanished and Where Shadows Grow are widely available from booksellers worldwide. And if you’re in the US, you can order signed copies from the Rootcity Press store!

Don’t want to deal with mailing print copies? Looking for something last-minute? You can also gift the digital version! If you, like me, enjoy having something tangible to give along with your virtual present, you can download a free gift printable to include in a card for the recipient.

What are some books you’re looking forward to giving (or hoping to receive) this holiday season? I’m always looking for new reads to add to the TBR list 🙂
