What started as an innocent on-line baby book to chronicle Jill's stay-at-home days with her children, (Lily, Ben, and Evan) quickly transformed into a vibrant community of parents, brought together by a common theme: Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect. Learn more here.

I have one final stop to add to the Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies) book tour before I retire my spring dresses and heels in exchange for the yoga pants and Ugg slippers I’m far more comfortable in, and I REALLY want to end the tour with a bang. I’d love to be surrounded by the most Scary Mommies, good food, better wine and fantastic conversation. Like the best book club or girls’ night out, ever!

 

But the where part? I need your help for that…

 

Want your city or hometown  to be the last stop on the Motherhood Comes Naturally  (And Other Vicious Lies) book tour? Submit a photo of the book to win the best girls’ night out ever: food, drinks, prizes, goody bags  and me (author Jill Smokler) at the location of your choice!

 

To enter: Upload an original picture of Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies) to the photo contest tab on my Facebook page or on Instagram using hastag #scarymommybooktour. Get creative; use your pet, your kid, you… however you best want to illustrate the book. The image with the most votes on May 12 at 12:00 PM EST, will the best night out (or in) ever! I’ll come to wherever the winner lives and host a book reading/Q&A/gab fest at their house, office or favorite restaurant. I’ll cover the food, drinks, prizes, goody bags — everything we’ll need and more!  

 

Edited to add: This is “popularity contest” in that it is based on votes; I was hoping people would get creative and have fun with the pictures, but when I said the most Scary Mommies, I meant the SCARIEST, not the biggest number. I’d be thrilled to come to your town and take one of you out for dinner, or get a hotel room and have a pajama party. So please don’t stress about how many IRL people you could recruit, and just get funny pictures up!

 

Notes:

You may only enter one picture, so choose carefully!

If the book is on your Nook or Kindle, that’s fine; just hold up the device so the cover is visible.

Votes may be cast once a day, per IP address.

The contest is open to everyone in the US and Canada… I’m sorry international friends!!

 

So… where should I go?!

 

 

This contest is being sponsored by Librify, a new company providing a social reading experience for book clubs and bringing the joy of discovering, organizing and sharing books with friends to all platforms and devices. All contest entrants will be receiving an exclusive invitation to join the beta this summer.

This is such a fun idea! I will try to think of something creative or pray that someone else in Minneapolis does. Where are Galit and Tracy? They are crafty types!
