blog tour + giveaway

butter and brass is having its first giveway! author amy thomas just released her debut memoir, paris, my sweet: a year in the city of light (and dark chocolate), sharing the struggles and sweetness she faced adjusting to a new life and culture in paris. her book, much like her blog, gives an honest and fresh perspective on finding happiness and, perhaps more difficult, the perfect pastry.

after communicating via the web and reading her blog god i love paris for years, i am secretly hoping that this book will bring amy to ann arbor for a reading… if not, i think we're destine to meet in paris someday, waiting in line at ladurĂ©e.

for a chance to win a copy of paris, my sweet, please leave a comment below. a winner will be chosen next week. good luck and congratulations amy!


2/16 update - and the winner is... najee! thanks everyone for all of your comments and for entering the giveaway!

    I have been longing to go back to Paris for the last 8 years. This is not only because the city is tres magnifique, but because the most delicious thing that I have ever eaten can be found in Paris. It was a simple raspberry tart, that was in a word: perfection. It was found in a patisserie down the street from the Hotel St. Jacques where we stayed on our honeymoon. You and the author may be destined to meet, but I swear that the tart and I are destined to be re-united...
