HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY TO ME!
I'm not closing down my blog like I originally planned. Instead I'm celebrating by giving you the chance to win some books ... good idea, huh?Below are the books I have up for grabs. Some were published this year and others are older. All are used but in very good condition. If you click the title of each book it will take you to my review.
To enter the contest just leave a comment with your number one, number two, and number three book choices. I'll be awarding books to three lucky winners regardless of where in the world they live. Winner #1 gets three books, winner #2 gets two books, and winner # 3 gets one book. I'll announce the winners on Nov. 14th so get commenting!
Cane River, by Lalita Tademy
I really love this book!
Why the Wind Blows, by Matthys Levy
This one is short and educational.
The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd
My book club read this one so that's where the link above takes you. I figured it was a good one to give away since the movie version just came out. Oh, and the movie is GREAT!
The Lost Diary of Don Juan, by Douglas Carlton Abrams
This author spoke at the Book Group Expo in a panel on writing about sex - too bad I couldn't be there to hear it!
My Seven Years in Captivity, by Bill Seaton
Fun and easy to read - I enjoyed it!
House of Splendid Isolation, by Edna O'Brien
I really wanted to like this one ... maybe you'll get more out of it than I did. I do know that Jackie Kennedy really admired this author, but it still didn't do it for me.
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
This is one of my all time favorite books. When people ask for book recommendations this is the first book I suggest.
Bedlam South, by Mark Grisham and David Donaldson
Ok, so I haven't exactly finished reading this one yet but I promise I will before the end of the contest. The link takes you to the book's website.
Imagining Argentina, by Lawrence Thornton
This is a short but powerful book.
