THE SUMMER THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING Book Tour (June 2025)
I hope you can meet me at one of these stops to get a signed and personalized copy of my upcoming release, THE SUMMER THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING! There will be an in-conversation, Q&A, pictures, giveaways and more!
You can get a signed and personalized copy of the book as part of the Book Tour Package, which also includes our beautiful book earrings in either 925 sterling silver (with rhodium plating so they won’t tarnish) — or for a limited time, you can upgrade to gold plated, a lovely leather bookmark and a ticket that will enter you into the giveaways in-person and at the virtual event! Or get just the book or just RSVP to let us know you’ll be there.
We pass all books through to our partnering bookstores. If you want your order to be left at a bookstore for pick-up, please email store@brendanovak.com to let us know (we default to bringing any orders that weren’t picked up with us because it’s difficult for the bookstores to ship).
