Objectifying literary figures, ahoy!
Anyway. As you all know, I've been running a giveaway to celebrate this anniversary, and I have drawn the winners. Here they be:
Mallorie (mallorie.colvin) and Gil (ggadgil88) are each the winners of a copy of The Jane Austen Handbook from Quirk Books, and Ellison (Ellison.langford) is the winner of the fawncy hardcover copy of Pride and Prejudice. If you three could email me your addresses for shipping, that would be great (also, I've emailed each of you separately so check your spam filter if you haven't gotten it).
So what's coming up? Well I've just finished both Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything and can't stop talking about Darwin's nose and quarks and whatnot, so I'll be talking about that more when my brain settles. I'm also making good progress on the Tournament of Books field, so expect an update on that as soon as I finish A.M. Homes' May We Be Forgiven, which so far is just weird as shit. So. We'll see how that goes.
Carry on!
Congratulations to Mallorie, Gil and Ellison! I'm happy for you (though I will admit that the happiness is mixed with a healthy dash of envy), and hope you will enjoy the books.
ReplyDeleteBill Bryson! Can you be a fan of someone after readig only one of his books? It's a rhetorical question, clearly, considering how much I love Emily Brontë. But nevertheless, I hope to get my hands on more of Bryson's books soon.
