Teaser Tuesday and GIVEAWAY Winner

GIVEAWAY WINNER

 
Freda at Freda's Voice is the lucky winner of Vacationland by Sarah Stonich, her new collection of connected short stories, all set at Naledi Lodge, a former lake resort in northern Minnesota.

Stonich is the author of two earlier books, both great reads, These Granite Islands and The Ice Chorus, which I reviewed here.  Vacationland looks equally compelling.

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
