Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp
I am STILL digging this book. Its title. Its concept. I've GOT to read it.
IT is Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp, and IT was written by Lauren Lipton. And IT can be yours if you win the extra copy that Booking Mama's got. (And check out all those awesome links she provides! If you want to know why I'm so into this, those links will answer your questions and then some.)
Yeah, umm... winners of the book must live in the US or Canada. Sorry, gang. But everyone can look at the links!
Use this link before June 10.

Mistress of the Sun
Ooh, that's a lyrical book title: Mistress of the Sun. Julie at Booking Mama reviewed it previous to today's post, where she hosts author Sandra Gulland, for a short post about Ms. Gulland's path to novel writing. I like this author already.
In addition, Julie has a copy of Mistress of the Sun to share with US and Canadian friends. You have until May 14, but don't delay. This sounds like a neat book, and Ms. Gulland sounds like a neat author.
