THE FRIENDSHIP LIST VIRTUAL TOUR
One of the most interesting things to see in these challenging times is how the entertainment industry is adapting to provide new content for all the people who are stuck at home. Well, guess what—book tours are going online, too, and I’m going on tour for The Friendship List this summer. It’s going to be so much fun! You’ll be able to join these book chats from anywhere with a good internet connection. Three stops have been confirmed so far, with more to come as plans solidify.

HOW TO GET AN AUTOGRAPHED BOOKPLATE FOR THE FRIENDSHIP LIST
In support of independent bookstores, we’ve created a limited edition The Friendship List bookplate, giving you the opportunity to buy a signed book. To get one, purchase The Friendship List through one of the stops on the virtual tour, using the links above. The bookplate will be mailed to you along with the book. As I sign each evening after I finish writing for the day, I’m thinking of you, my readers. Genuinely. I’m keeping you close to my heart as I sign.

GET THE BOOKS YOU WANT FOR MOTHER’S DAY
Did you know... on my website there is an *amazing* feature that I have never seen on any other author's website... you can create a CUSTOM BOOK LIST, marking which of my books you've read. And then you can print that list, come back and update it at any time, and even use it to send a wish list to people who love you. Wouldn't that be a great Mother's Day gift for you... the Susan Mallery books you haven't read yet???
To get started, go to susanmallery.com/available-now.php. Under the "Access Book List Feature" drop-down menu, select Read Instructions.
Happy reading! Please take care of yourself and stay connected to the people you love.
