Penguin Teen has an awesome new promotion for Gayle Forman's latest book, Just One Day . Starting on Friday, January 11, you can read the book along with others and talk about it on Twitter, using the #JustOneDay hashtag. Then on Saturday, January 12, Gayle will be on Twitter to chat about the book from 7-8 EST. I'm a huge fan of Gayle Forman's previous books If I Stay and Where She Went and I can't wait to read Just One Day . I hope you're as excited as I am and can join the Twitter chat-there's nothing better than talking with other readers about books!
