Guest Post: My 10 Favorite Classic Novels
Villains hit shelves in the UK today, but in case that’s not enough to read, Female First had me write up a list of my ten favorite classic novels. There are, of course, dozens that didn’t make it onto this list (Moby-Dick, anyone?) but it’s somewhere to start.
Read it here!

VILLAINS UK Edition
Hello friends (and especially all you friends across the pond):
This is just a quick reminder that the gorgeous UK edition of Villains could be in your hands any day now. And if I may say so, Titan’s done a gorgeous job with it! (See right; those sprayed edges, though.) If you’re interested, you can find links to all our UK retailers on the Buy the Book page.
I hope it lives up to all your Shakespearean expectations.

IWWV Pub Day!
Today is a big day. If We Were Villains is out in the wild, and I’m in New York, celebrating with all the beautiful people who made this book happen. I’ll have much more to share after launch party tonight, but in the meantime there are a few things to check out:
- Goodreads Giveaway (that’s right, Macmillan is hosting another one)
- Goodreads feature
- Kirkus thrillers
- Backstage excerpt (Backstage magazine ran a piece of Villains which includes a new excerpt)
And if you want to see what I’m up to over the course of the (very short) IWWV book tour, you can track that tag on Instagram!
Last but not least, you can buy the book right off the shelf today. How cool is that?
Happy reading.
