Armchair BEA: Giveaway & Literary Fiction



To celebrate Armchair BEA, Reading Lark is giving away TWO copies of a Miranda Kenneally novel. The winners will be able to choose one book from the Hundred Oaks series that has already been released. I just read Catching Jordan and LOVED it. My review will be up Friday, but I wanted to give others a chance to read this one. It's a perfect way to spend your summer AND it will help you prepare for Racing Savannah's release in December. 


We will have one US winner & one INTERNATIONAL winner. International entrants must be able to receive books from The Book Depository.

* Be 13+ years old
* Fill out the Rafflecopter below

The giveaway runs May 30 - June 6. The winner will be contacted via email on June 7. 


Now, for today's Armchair BEA topic: Literature

I decided instead of discussing Literature and giving my opinions that I would give you some reading suggestions. Surprisingly, my focus today is on books for adults. I love historical fiction and I love it even more when there a strong females. Women haven't always been given a chance to voice opinions so I love characters who aren't afraid to tell it like it is to anyone who will listen. I also enjoy women who have amazing strength and overcome hardship. Here are my must reads if you're interested in Historical Fiction with strong female characters:

  4. I can't say enough good things about Shoemaker's Wife. I LOVED that book -- great on audio. I've read Blue Asylum, The Bungalow, and The Help. And the Sandalwood Tree is next for me on audio. Baker's Daughter is on my list. So you could say I'm a fan, and I'll be writing down your other recommendations!

    1. I hope you enjoy the others on the list. I love Sarah Jio; she has become one of my favorite writers. All of her books are wonderful, but I felt like that one best fit my list. I would love to hear your thoughts on the others on my list. I'm also always looking for recommendations in this area.

  26. It took me a long time to finally read Catching Jordan, and once I started reading it I was kicking myself for waiting so long. It was amazing! I loved every single minute of that book. The plot was perfectly written and perfectly paced! But the characters were perfection! So those are the reasons that I want to continue with this series. And thank you so much for having this great giveaway!
