ANNOUNCING: Winners of the Social Lives book giveaway!
And the big winners of our free giveaway for Wendy Walker's Social Lives is ......(drumroll please)....Evidence of An Artistic Life! (At least, that is what her blog name is!)
AND
Melissa from Frugal Creativity!
Congratulations, ladies!
And to all those that didn't win: fear not, we're doing ANOTHER book giveaway next month for an amazing memoir, Halfway to Each Other. (Amazon says it pubs Sept. 1, but it actually pubs Sept. 25). It's received early raves here, here, here, and also here.
Back to Social Lives for a moment. As Glamour.com's Little Miss Fortune wrote about it the other day, "recession lit" - a.k.a books like Social Lives, The Penny Pinchers Club, et. al - represent a departure for women's fiction from the credit card-wielding, clackety-clack high heeled heroines of Chasing Harry Winston and Confessions of a Shopaholic. Little Miss Fortune described recession lit as "a new type of chick-friendly fiction packed with characters who are dealing with the reality of today’s economy." Her readers weighed in on this trend, and had lots of interesting thoughts. Like this one:
"This sounds right up my alley. I've given up reading the sort of rich-bitch-socialite-professional-arm-candy books because I keep wanting to slap those fluttery tweety birds. But a-hah! Recession Lit! Yes to that- gimme some realism!" -spikesnsilk (awesome commenter name)
So we want to know, P&P blog readers: What do you think about recession lit? Intrigued? Tell us in the comment section.
And while you think about it, have a gander at the new book trailer for Social Lives!
