Jill's Book Bag #5 - October 2007

10.29.2007

I am feeling a little bit nostalgic and a little bit fun for October's book bag.

First the fun: October's bag is this adorable, colorful tote by Modsacks. I fell in love with their bags the minute I saw the website and would love to share one with you. This is a roomy tote with pockets inside for your cell phone, keys, etc.

Now for the nostalgia: In my Q&A posts I mentioned that The Grapes of Wrath is my very favorite book. And, since the reason I started Jill's Book Bag in the first place was to give away books I love, I thought October was the perfect time to pass on a copy of this wonderful classic.

To enter, just leave a comment (one per person). I'd love it if you'd link back here on your own blog, but it's not necessary.

I'll choose a winner using a random number generator on Wednesday, October 31.

Thanks!
