Charlotte Street

By Danny Wallace

“Danny Wallace’s long-awaited debut novel is so worth the wait… a moving, funny, all-too-relatable tale of boy seeking girl, with some gripping twists and turns… an unmissable read which will have you laughing out loud and melt your heart, all at once.” - Cosmopolitan

I'm excited to bring you Danny Wallace's book, Charlotte Street, but before I tell you about that one, he's also written a bunch of other books like these here, which include one that was the basis for the screenplay Yes Man, which starred Jim Carrey. His other books are touching and sincere, and they really make me want to find Danny Wallace and just sit down with him and figure this guy out. He's THAT interesting.

BUT this is not what this post is about. This post is about his latest book Charlotte Street. I've started it, and the tagline on the cover is: A heartwarming everyday tale of boy stalks girl.

Who doesn't love a boy-stalks-girl story, especially when it's written BY A BOY!?! I'm totally into it, and you know how I love when I find a guy author that I want to share with you all, I just have to bring these kind of books to you, so that's what I'm doing here!

Here's the back of the book blurb, which should grab you all right away!

It all starts with a girl... (because yes, there's always a girl...) 

Jason Priestley (not that one) has just seen her. They shared an incredible, brief, fleeting moment of deep possibility, somewhere halfway down Charlotte Street.

And then, just like that, she was gone - accidentally leaving him holding her old-fashioned, disposable camera, chock full of undeveloped photos...

And now Jason - ex-teacher, ex-boyfriend, part-time writer and reluctant hero - faces a dilemma. Should he try and track The Girl down? What if she's The One? But that would mean using the only clues he has, which lie untouched in this tatty disposable...

It's funny how things can develop...

Here's Danny talking about the book (I might have a little crush, and that accent!!!)

Read an excerpt here: EXCERPT OF CHARLOTTE STREET

To win a copy of Charlotte Street, tell me if you have ever stalked a boy you may have had a crush on. Share as much as you feel like you would like to! Guilty here!! On quite a few occasions!

In the future, I'll announce winner's names on the next posts at the bottom like this rather than doing a separate post, just to keep things moving on the blog. And/or I'll try to remember to put the winner's name on top of the post of the book that they have won - will that make it easy for you all to find out if you've won a book? Leave a comment along with your entry for Charlotte Street! Thanks!  
 
And, here are the two winners from last week's book by Catherine McKenzie: FORGOTTEN! Please email me your full names and addresses and I will make sure you receive your books. Congrats to:
