The Age of Miracles

The Age of Miracles is a little bit science fiction, a little bit coming-of-age, and it effectively probes ordinary life not in spite of its un-real backdrop but because of it.

You all keep telling me that the best part of the One Great Book bonus episodes we share on Patreon is that since they are all books that haven’t been released you’re able to request them from the library or preorder before everyone else.

Preordering is a huge help to authors because that early interest shows publishers they should back the launch with advertising dollars, it signals to bookstores they should stock plenty of copies come release week, and it helps initial sales drive some buzz following the release.

Since all of those are true for me I want to say thank you by sharing a few goodies just for those of you who preorder my next book Don't Overthink It.

Order online or ask your local bookstore to order you a copy, then enter your email address and order number so we can email you the bonuses when they’re ready. Readers, thank you for your support. It means the world.

This was the final episode in Volume III. Learn more about all of the great books in this volume and sign up for our newsletter so you can stay in touch in the meantime at modernmrsdarcy.com/onegreatbook.

Everything I Never Told You

I once watched a woman miss her bus stop because she was utterly absorbed in this literary thriller. It's that good.

One of my favorite library hacks is requesting new titles BEFORE their release date. And that’s why One Great Book patrons get bonus episodes of One Great Book featuring books that aren't even out yet–so you can get a jump on the holds list.

But that’s just one of the fun perks of being a supporter on Patreon. We also share exclusive peeks behind the scenes, bonus content from my one-hour podcast, What Should I Read Next, special online events like the Fall Book Preview, where I shared the most anticipated books coming out this fall, and bonus audio, like the interview I did with Celeste Ng for a community event here in town.

We would love to see YOU in our Patreon community. Go to patreon.com/whatshouldireadnext to learn more, become a supporter, and start getting those great readerly perks.
