There’s now a way to pre-order signed & personalized copies of Wake the Wild Creatures from my local independent bookstore, Head House Books here in Philadelphia!
Wake the Wild Creatures is a story of survival. It’s for YA readers of all ages. Courtney Summers called it “an urgent, important, and timely outing that must not be missed and Nova Ren Suma’s particular brand of magic has earned a place alongside—and is perfect for fans of—the works of Shirley Jackson, Joyce Carol Oates, and Kelly Link.” Oof. That quote makes me feel electric. I’d love it if you considered pre-ordering Wake the Wild Creatures in any way that makes sense to you—from your own local bookstore to online.
(Pre-orders make such a difference for authors… I love this 2022 post from author Emily Lloyd-Jones on why pre-orders matter.)
So if you’d like to pre-order, thank you thank you! And if you’re itching for that signed and personalized copy, my local bookstore will ship to you (U.S. only). I’ve made Wake the Wild Creatures bookmarks, and I’ll slip one inside every book I sign. The book comes out May 6, and it sounds like I’ll be going in to sign pre-orders on Sunday, May 4 before I start traveling to book events, so place your order before then!
If you’re not able to make any of my in-person events in May, ordering through Head House is a way to get a signed copy and also support a wonderful gem of a bookstore in Philadelphia. I’ve made many a new book discovery on their beautifully curated shelves, and they kept me afloat through the pandemic. Sometimes when I’m sad I go there just to breathe in the shelves of enticing books and get myself a present. If you’re ever in this city, I highly recommend a visit. They have a fantastic selection of children’s picture books, too.
But maybe instead you’d like to get a book signed in person and meet me too?
Here is where I tell you something truly wild.
I am going on a little BOOK TOUR. I’m excited and fizzy with nerves and hoping people will come.
