In celebration of Malena Lott’s upcoming novel, Dating Da Vinci, Sourcebooks Casablanca and Book Binge have teamed up to offer you the opportunity to win one of two ARCs of the novel for review.
Malena has been giving workshops and speeches about working mothers and how they can take the time out of their often busy schedules to find their passions in life. In Dating da Vinci, the lead character, Ramona Elise is a widowed mother of 2 and linguist, struggles to find “la dolce vita,” and a charming Italian immigrant named Leonardo da Vinci helps her find new joys, all without feeling like she’s leaving her family or her job behind.
Malena knows that this is an issue many women struggle with—she went through the same sort of issues while writing her books! As a working mother of 3, Malena knows how busy things can get, and how important it is to keep your joys and passions at the top of your list, along with priorities.
To be entered, simply leave a comment on her interview post sometime before noon on Monday, August 25th and we’ll throw your name in the hat to win an Advance Reader Copy.
Please Note: We’re requesting a review of this novel from the winner. You can post it on your own blog/website, or if you don’t have one, we can post it for you here at Book Binge.
For an extra chance to win, leave a comment on Malena’s guest blog, where she talks about what it means to live La Dolce Vita. We’ll toss your name in the hat twice if you leave a comment on both.
