Kathy at Bermuda Onion is hosting the Okra Picks Challenge. Kathy writes:
Each season, SIBA selects a crop of Southern books to handsell and those books are called Okra Picks. Okra Picks authors are given a sash to wear at the trade show, and believe me when I tell you those sashes are worn with pride! Since I love Southern books, I thought it would be fun to host an Okra Picks challenge. The picks this season are:
Fiction:
A Perfect Love Song by Patti Callahan Henry
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
I Still Dream About You by Fannie Flagg
Love, Charleston by Beth Webb Hart
My Only Sunshine by Lou Dischler
Virals by Kathy Reichs
Zora and Me by Victoria Bond and T.R. Simon
The Typist by Michael Knight
Nonfiction:
Carry the Rock by Jay Jennings
Greek Revival by Patricia Moore-Pastides
My Reading Life by Pat Conroy
Southern Plate by Christy Jordan
They Came to Nashville by Marshall Chapman
To make this challenge fun for everyone, I’m going to include four different levels:
1-3 Books: Goober
4-6 Books: Tater
7-9 Books: Peach
10-13 Books: Okra
Details:
The Okra Picks Challenge will run from October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011. To join this challenge, all you have to do is pick your level of participation (you can always go up levels, but not down.) Then after you read any of the books, write a review to share your thoughts with others!
