With great excitement, let me reveal the book I raved about last week: The Patron Saint of Liars, by Ann Patchett.
I fell in love with the characters in this book and the way Patchett unveils their lives. I was both sympathetic for their struggles and in awe of the way they overcame them. I couldn't wait to begin reading each night.
And, I'm also excited to say that my love of this book has inspired me to start a new monthly feature.
Jill's Book Bag will be a monthly event wherein one participate will receive my pick-of-the-month book, plus some other goodies of my choosing, all sent to you in a cool little bag.
To be eligible for the Book Bag:
1. leave a comment here and
2. link back to this post with a post on your own blog.
My 18-month old future bookworm will be the official winner-drawer.
This month's give-away will be open until midnight EDT on Friday, June 15th. The winner will be announced as soon as my coffee kicks in on Saturday, June 16th.
Please help me spread the word. I hope Jill's Book Bag is something fun and new for all the avid readers out there.
Thanks and Happy Reading!

Fun idea. I am a big fan of Patchett--Bel Canto was amazing. You should also check out her non-fiction account of a special friendship: Truth and Beauty--amazing!

What a brilliant and fun idea! And generous, too!
Hmmm....a book AND a bag? Doesn't get any better than that! Please count me in too. :)
This sounds like a very fun idea! So glad I found you through A Lady's Diversions http://aladysdiversions.blogspot.com/2007/06/jills-book-bag.html
I think I will give it a go!! I love to read and since it's summer I have my porch!! Thanks what fun!
This is a great idea Jill. I am just too late for this, since I just saw it on someone's site five minutes ago. Besides I already own The Patron Saint of Liars and Bel Canto and another, the Magician's Assistant as I recall and of course Truth and Beauty. A great writer in my opinion. I wrote a review of Truth and Beauty on my blog a while ago.
