I've been subscribing to this blog on olivereader.com after picking up
The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath) from HarperCollins. (Which was amazing and I'm embarrassed I took so long to pick it up; too bad we didn't read this for group; I think the other girls will love it when they read it someday! Anyway...) They post some good stuff, and recently they plugged an author named Lionel Shriver. I had never heard of her, but
this post lists her current published works and descriptions of them. I'm a skeptical person, and I definitely assume that this is just to pick up sales....but after reading some sections on Amazon, I'm 100% going to check this author out. She seems funny and intelligent. I wonder why I've never heard of her?? Just a few that stood out...
- The Post-Birthday World
- We Need to Talk About Kevin
- The Female of the Species, all by Lionel Shriver

increasing sales is always a goal--but she truly is one of my favorite authors, and i don't know that i could do a challenge for an author I didn't like.
