Water for Elephants buzz

Water for Elephants cover artJacqueline Blais of USA Today writes that Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is being received well, despite a mixed Publisher’s Weekly review. The book’s publisher has increased the printing from 15,000 to 70,000 and added another twenty-five events to Sara’s book tour.

There’s also a separate article about it that covers some of the research she did for the book, from the same source and also published today.
