Hi everyone! I'm starting two international bookrings so if you'd like to join please post either here or in the BC forum as PM's seem very unreliable at the mo.
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets: Int Book Ring. >From Amazon: "Set in the 1950s, in an England still recovering from the Second World War, THE LOST ART OF KEEPING SECRETS is the enchanting story of Penelope Wallace and her eccentric family at the start of the rock'n'roll era. Penelope longs to be grown-up and to fall in love; but various rather inconvenient things keep getting in her way. Like her mother, a stunning but petulant beauty widowed at a tragically early age, her younger brother Inigo, currently incapable of concentrating on anything that isn't Elvis Presley, a vast but crumblng ancestral home, a severe shortage of cash, and her best friend Charlotte's sardonic cousin Harry... Eva Rice's novel is an utterly engrossing read, in the tradition of Nancy Mitford and I CAPTURE THE CASTLE." http://bookcrossing.com/journal/4755078 http://bookcrossing.com/forum/20/4126103 The Powerbook by Jeanette Winterson. Int Book Ring. >From Amazon.co.uk: "Book Description 'To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run'. The PowerBook is twenty-first century fiction that uses past, present and future as shifting dimensions of a multiple reality. The story is simple. An e-writer called Ali or Alix will write to order anything you like, provided that you are prepared to enter the story as yourself and take the risk of leaving it as someone else. You can be the hero of your own life. You can have freedom just for one night. But there is a price. Ali discovers that she too will have to pay it. 'Death can take the body but not the heartÂ…' Set in London, Paris, Capri and Cyberspace, this is a book that reinvents itself as it travels. Using cover-versions, fairy tales, contemporary myths and popular culture, The PowerBook works at the intersection between the real and the imagined. Its territory is you. Intense, erotic, incandescent in the power and beauty of its prose, The PowerBook is an astonishing achievement." http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/4755099 http://bookcrossing.com/forum/20/4126115/1 Hope to hear from you soon. :-) Bye for now, QuantumAyla. http://bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/QuantumAyla Have you told a friend today? http://bookcrossing.com/tellafriend Archives and email list settings: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BookCrossing Yahoo!
