David Baldacci reader challenge

We’re launching a campaign in UK libraries with Pan MacMillan to introduce library readers to international bestselling and award-winning US novelist David Baldacci

The challenge

Running until February 2013 and involving over 500 public libraries in 35 UK local authorities who’ve been given 100 copies of David Baldacci’s books, the campaign is inviting readers to visit these libraries to get information about David Baldacci, borrow one of his books and write a review that will displayed in the library. The library with the best review board will win a case of wine and £100 to spend with Pan Macmillan.

“I am both honoured and thrilled to be part of this initiative. I hope readers enjoy exploring my novels as much as I enjoy writing them,” says David Baldacci.
