Three great challenges start this month - Orange July, 3rd Canadian Book Challenge, and Book Awards III. I just need to find an award winning book, written by Canadian woman, that is on the Orange Prize list. It's surprisingly easy to find Canadian women on that list. I'm going with the author and book which won the New Writers award in 2007. Too bad I'm not signed up for the Chunkster Challenge as well.
I am in a solitary cage, a political prisoner in Myanmar, formerly Burma. (The Lizard Cage by Karen Connolly)I am writing letters to my sister in New York from our home in Ontario, during the Depression. (Clara Callen, Richard B Wright, a Giller Prize Winner)

ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind and am nowhere nearly as exotic as most of the other commenters so far. I'm only in New York and L.A., which seems to pale by comparison to New Zealand, Greece and Tibet to name just a few.
ReplyDeleteOr, ahem, in Burma. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am on a small island in Greece getting ready to direct amateur thespians in The Tempest. We just got here and it opens in six weeks. (Cafe Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island by Barbara Bonfigli)
