BookWish

I need to do something positive today, how about you? I tried calling the Publishing Fairy to see if she'd sprinkle some gilt dust on us, but it went right to voice mail. There's a rumor going around that she's absconded with a cover model from RT. I hope she got one who's interested in more than her magic wand.

The heck with her, let's have a giveaway. In comments to this post, tell us what you're currently reading (or if your TBR stack has vanished, just toss your name in the hat) by midnight EST on April 21, 2008. I'll draw one name from everyone who participates, and grant the winner a BookWish*. This giveaway is open to everyone on the planet, even if you've won something here at PBW in the past.

*A BookWish is any book of your choice that is available for order from an online bookseller, up to maximum cost of $30.00 U.S. I will throw in any applicable shipping charges involved.

  1. *cries* I've removed my TBR stack from my room so that I can't read when I should be studying, but now I don't have anything to read!

    So I'll have to just throw my name in the hat.

  7. Oh Lynn, you're such a Good Fairy. :)

    I'm reading These Old Shades by Heyer for the first time. (I did listen to it on tape once.) The Duke of Avon is so deliciously sardonic and Heyer is so clever! Because I know the denouement I get to study how she brings us there.

  8. Because I ran out of interesting fiction to read, I'm reading a giant history book for fun: John Boswell's "Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality". I've barely started it since I've been busy.
    Wait, I just remembered that there is some fiction I'm reading after all. There's a wonderful ongoing m/m story at Slash & Burn.

    My TBR pile died as soon as school started :( I've been so busy that I haven't had time to even go to the library, which is just sad. I intend on getting someone to transport me to said library as soon as I can this week, though God knows if I'll actually get a chance to read the books I borrow...

    So, long story short, throwing name in hat ^_^

  24. I'm going though one of those phases where I'm starting more books than I'm finishing.
    The Mammoth Book of Seriously Comic Fantasy ed Mike Ashley
    Dog Days by John Levitt
    Cast in Secret by Michelle Sagara
    The Annotated Brothers Grimm ed Maria Tatar
    In the Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant
    and I brought On the Prowl today just so I could get the Patricia Briggs novella - it was so good and too short!
    (There's about 4 more books I've started but they haven't been touched for several weeks, so I'm not counting them)
    Have a wonderful day!

    No?

  30. Next up on my TBR, I'm reading Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge.

    On a seperate note, though still on the subject of books, I know you quilt. Do you have any recommendations for beginner quilting books? I'm sure you haven't needed something like that for awhile, but I thought maybe you knew of one frequently recommended! I want to try quilting, but I'm a little intimidated by the process, most especially the actual process of quilting the finished quilt (though I do intend to machine quilt, I'm not ambitious enough to hand quilt).

  42. I am reading the last in the Goblin trilogy by Jim C. Hines, called Goblin War. These are very fun, light fantasy books that sort of poke fun at fantasy cliches, while being fun adventures in their own right. They cross over to YA and my kid reads them too.

    I don't know what prompted this, but your focus on the positive is so great. One day, I hope to follow your footsteps.

    I think Carol Doak's Your First Quilt Book (or it should be!) ISBN# 978-1564771988 is probably the best beginner's book on the market. Carol is a great quilter and a talented teacher, and she knows how to explain things in a way that doesn't confuse the reader.

    If you can't get that one, you might want to try Cheryl Fall's Quilting for Dummies ISBN #978-0764551185 (not that I'm implying anything :) it's just a good basic guide.)

    If you have no sewing experience, you might want to try a beginner's kit instead of a book. One that I give frequently to friends who want to learn quilting but have no sewing experience at all is the Creativity for Kids Learn How to Quilt kit. The kit is about $10-15, depending on if you can get it on sale, and available in most fabric and toy stores. Although this kit is obviously geared toward children, it comes with the materials you need to make a mini-quilt, including pre-cut fabric patches, and the instructions are nice and clear.

  54. I just finished reading Woman's Work the First 20,000 Years by Elizabeth Barber. It's a fascinating look at the development of prehistoric textiles and the women who made them. The TBR stack is a large and unwieldy pile from which to pick what comes next.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Angela - a second to Linda's recommendation on Carol Doak for a beginner quilting lesson. She's good at explaining a lot of blocks. And, as much as I hate the way Eleanor Burns tosses scraps on the floor during her shows, one of her Quilts In A Day might be a good way to learn, too.

    Love this contest - I am reading Harlan Coben's new thriller "Hold Tight" dealing with family stuff like teenagers who disappear, won't talk, get in with bad crowds, and when and how much privacy can a parent reasonably violate as they raise their child to adulthood and independence. Lots of teen issues for today, but still with his typical dark multi-faceted anti-heroes and heroes. Nothing is black and white, tho this one does tread closer to that than most of his prior novels.

  92. Hi
    I hope this doesn't sound like bron-nosing but I'm almost finished 'Evermore'. I've long been a fan of the Star Doc series but only recently found out about the Darkyn. I had quite a bit of trouble tracking them down and finally got the full backlist a couple of weeks ago. I'm very sad cause now I'm nearly finished them all :(. If you don't mind my saying - I still prefer the Star Doc series and eagerly await each new one but the Darkyn series has moved up the list (took me a little to get in to it) and am now eagerly awaiting the next one - if it ever makes it to the shores Down Under. Thank you for all of them.

I think I'm due for a nice, trashy romance next, just to put the universe back in balance.
