We've gotten two Book Revolution entries so far this month, from our badass loyal submitters!
The first is from Miss Roxanne, our bookworm yummy mummy:
Hi ladies!
In honor of your daily radness, I'm reading The Princess Bride. I am kinda ashamed I've never read the book, since the movie is so awesome, & I'm loving what i've read so far. Ttfn!
Thanks, Roxy! And BTW - that is an EPIC read! Prepare to be blown away!
Our second entry is from the rad Andrew (Radrew even?):
I'm quite a fan of the Barnes & Noble classics. They make them accessible and compressible for any reader. I've purchased a number of titles from their selection. I've read books that I previously would have found intimidating like the works of Dostoevsky, and Dante's Divine Comedy just to name a few. Here's me with my copy of "The Picture of Dorian Gray". One of my favorite sections of these books are the "Introduction" giving the reader some background on the author and the inspiration of the particular book. Happy reading Biblio Babes!
Muchas gracias, senor! Anyone who reads classics gets mad respect from us!
Thanks a million, guys! And keep on reading!
Wow, we are super excited for all of the
Book Revolution love we are getting this month. Must be the weather change making everyone randy ;)
Here is a picture from Cathy:
"This is my favorite book Little Women."
ADORABLE, right?! Thank you Cathy for your picture and love of reading.

Our Book Revolution winner for March ROXIE has been kind enough to send us not one, but two book revolution submissions this month! This is one busy girl; two books on the go and still manages to effortlessly pull off being a babe ;)
I just started Middlesex, it looks like a thought provoking read.
& I'm reading on my kindle Shutter Island. I'm enjoying both so far.
Thank you so much, Roxie! If there's anything we like more than people reading books, it's hot chicks reading books ;)
PS: LOVE your shirt!
We are super stoked here; we got not one, but TWO book revolution entries on the same day! Badass!
The first comes from our ever faithful Andrew, who sent us this for April (also his birthday month!):
"I love a great collection of short stories, as one of my earlier Book Revolution photos showed. Came across this book some years ago. Of course growing up I was a fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, yet didn't know about his short stories till later. Coming across "Tales of the Unexpected". Dahl always has a dark sense of humor if you've read any of his books, and that's the case with these as well. With titles like "Lamb to the Slaughter", "Skin", and "Poison", you can get the idea of this dark, and even morbid sense of humor I'm talking about. I've always been a fan of writers with a twisted sense of humor, and I can see where modern writers like T.C. Boyle (another favorite) or Chuck Palahniuk are influenced by Dahl's writing. This book comes highly recommended by yours truly for any fan of the darkly humorous. "
Our second entry is from Green Angel, a first time submitter with a novel (see what I did there?) approach to the Book Revolution:
Probably different from what you are used to receiving for the Book Revolution.
All my admiration for your work and yourselves.
Your biggest new fan,
Green Angel
Thanks so much guys! We really appreciate your submissions, and we appreciate it even more that you 're reading :)
..and of course it's from Andrew who is just delectably sweet and amazing, don't you agree:
"Here's my current read. "Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie & Clyde". The book states its, "The definitive book on the most famous and romantic gangsters of all-time". It doesn't read like a newspaper article. Its rather novelistic. I don't read a lot non-fiction. That's something I want to change in the new year. While some of the blurbs written in the book itself says it strips away the romanticism of Bonnie and Clyde. It also sets up the background of the time, right on the cusp of The Depression, when being poor meant little options for education or employment. So far its an addictive read."
We think YOU are addictive Andrew! Thanks for being amazing and sending us a picture for our Book Revolution! Pelvic thrusts all around!! Much Love, Xx | |

This next picture is our third entry for February. It is from one of our favourite peeps and long time supporter ANDREW!
"Here's my current read. "Fun & Games" by Duane Swierczynski. Its the first book in a trilogy. Its a fun, easy, fast read. It reminds me of early James Ellroy. Its set in modern day Los Angeles, and opens up with a car chase. Its about an ex-cop who now takes housesitting jobs for those who live in the Hollywood Hills. He get mixed up with a woman targeted by a hit squad who murder people by making their deaths appear accidental. Its an action movie in literary form, and I'm enjoying it very much. I'm looking forward to reading the second book."
We love you Andrew! Thank you for the picture!
