Thanks for all the entries for the new Olive Edition of Sylvia Plath’s classic The Bell Jar! I’ve added a few dozen books to my wishlist with all the great suggestions for books to consider for the Women Unbound reading challenge.
Random.org selected the one lucky winner, who is:
#12 – Lahni – Have you considered Twilight? Ha ha, just kidding.
A really good one is The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill (it’s called something else in the US though – can’t remember what). The protagonist is a woman who when she was about 11 was taken from her village in Africa and sold into slavery. I loved the book and it’s about a strong woman. I think it would definitely fit the challenge. [note from Dawn: This is published as Someone Knows My Name in the US]
Congratulations, Lahni! Please send me your US/Canada mailing address and I’ll forward it to Harper Perennial.












Congratulations Lahni!
Yay! I’m so excited. Thanks for the giveaway!
The Harper Canada team was here for meetings on Friday and mentioned The Book of Negroes. Apparently it is HUGE in Canada!
Congrats! I’ve never read this book and this is the third time today I saw it. I’m calling it fate and adding it to my list for next year.
Congrats to the winner…she’s in for a treat.
