Givaway: The Art of Disappearing

It's time to get my Guilt List under control. And one thing I can do is pass on to an appreciative reader a book that I do not think I will get to:


The Art of Disappearing by Ivy Pochoda (ARC copy)



This book is on tour this month and is very popular.  Caitlin on chaotic compendiums has a terrific review describing the book and explaining why she liked it.  Wendy at Musings of a Bookish Kitty also gave it a good review.

It looks like it would be very, very good for readers who enjoy a little magic in their stories. That does not happen to be me. I have a very low tolerance for magic realism and a book about actual magic is not my cup of tea.  But I figure there are others out there who will enjoy it and review it, so I am putting it up for grabs.
