One of the perks of being a book blogger is being privy to a multitude of book giveaways. Recently I won two books, South of Broad by Pat Conroy on Heather's blog, Raging Bibliomania, and A Twist of Orchids by Michelle Wan on Becky's blog, No More Grumpy Bookseller. Heather and Becky both have terrific book blogs that I enjoy visiting.
Last week I ventured into Barnes & Noble to look for a couple of gifts, and I couldn't resist getting one book for myself, How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. I didn't intend to get myself any books, but when I picked this one up and skimmed a few pages it was too interesting to leave behind. This book may nudge my reviews into some new directions, and although it may take me a while to get to it I'm certain that I will.

Yay! I am glad you got your copy of South of Broad. I also think you will love How to Read Literature Like a Professor. He has another book out called How to Read Novels like a Professor as well that I am hoping to get the chance to read soon. How to Read Literature is a great book, and also very funny!
