Birthday Bash Giveaway
What's this? Heather at Age 30, a Year of Books was going to shut down her blog?
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm glad she came to her senses. So what if she's going to be 31 and the year will be over? When you've got a good thing, don't stop. Sometimes, going out on the top is overrated.
To celebrate her birthday, she's got a slew of books. I've read some of them and they are good picks.
Ready for the list?
Cane River, by Lalita Tademy (Susan loved this so much, she keeps buying used copies to share with people)
Why the Wind Blows, by Matthys Levy
The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd (Why spend money on the movies when you can have the book? Everyone knows the book's always better!)
The Lost Diary of Don Juan, by Douglas Carlton Abrams
My Seven Years in Captivity, by Bill Seaton (No, this has nothing to do with being a POW or something)
House of Splendid Isolation, by Edna O'Brien
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver (another fave of Susan's; this book is oddly compelling)
Bedlam South, by Mark Grisham and David Donaldson
Imagining Argentina, by Lawrence Thornton
Wow. That's quite a list, huh? Be sure to let Heather know what your top two picks are. Go on a limb. Try something different.
