Readers Across the US Fall in Love with Nationwide Digital Book Club
Public libraries offer award-winning heart-melting romance “Love Lettering” ebook and audiobook for free to borrow and discuss
CLEVELAND – February 10, 2021 – Nearly 16,000 public libraries and tens of thousands of readers across the United States join together to enjoy the latest Together We Read: US digital book club selection. From February 10 to 24, readers with a valid library card can borrow and discuss author Kate Clayborn’s award-winning witty romance ebook and audiobook, Love Lettering, for free with no waitlists or holds. Readers can access the digital book by downloading the Libby app and then participate in an online discussion.
The Together We Read: US digital book club connects readers through U.S. public libraries with a selected ebook for two weeks and only requires a valid library card to get started. This free program is facilitated by OverDrive, the leading digital reading platform for ebooks, audiobooks and magazines and creator of the Libby app.
“In a time like this, where we’re all spending so much time away from one another, a community experience like Together We Read is so special, and so important,” said author Kate Clayborn. “I hope you’ll find the sense of place and community and romance that I felt while writing Love Lettering—and I hope these characters come to feel as real to you as they do to me.”
In Love Lettering, Meg Mackworth’s hand-lettering skill has made her famous by designing custom journals for her New York City clientele. She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his polished fiancée was doomed to fail is one thing but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another. A year later, Reid has tracked Meg down to find out how she knew that his meticulously planned future was about to implode. As they gradually open up to each other, both try to ignore a deepening connection between them. But the signs are there—irresistible, indisputable, urging Meg to heed the messages Reid is sending her, before it’s too late.
The Love Lettering ebook is published by Kensington Books and the audiobook is published by Tantor Media. Both the ebook and audiobook can be borrowed from participating U.S. libraries during Together We Read between February 10-24. The title can be read on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phones and tablets and Chromebook™ without waitlists or holds. Through Libby, readers can also “send to Kindle®” [U.S. libraries only]. The title will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late fees. Download Libby to get started.
