The Roaring Twenties Weighs in on A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as Part of English #101

You heard from Erica at the Olive Reader, now see what Kayleigh at the Roaring Twenties has to say about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. And I would agree: never marry a drunk. Blog or tweet (using hashtag #english101) about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and you'll be entered to win next month's English 101 book, Brave New World!

English 101 Has Begun Over on the Olive Reader!

The first book report is up for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn at the Olive Reader and anyone who comments on it or tweets about it will be entered to win next month's book, Brave New World! Look for Kayleigh's review of A Tree Goes in Brooklyn on The Roaring 20s on Monday!

Announcing a New Classics Book Club: English 101 Hosted by The Olive Reader and The Roaring Twenties!

Those crazy kids Erica and Kayleigh, here in the marketing departments of Harper Perennial and Harper Library, who write the fabulous Olive Reader and Roaring Twenties blogs have gotten together and are starting a Harper Perennial Classics Book Club to re-read-or perhaps read for the first time-the classics! Their first selection for English 101, as they're calling their book club, is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and if you head on over to the Olive Reader, you can win a copy to read along with them! I, ahem, have actually never read this one and I know it's a HUGE gap in my cultural literacy so I think I'll be joining in. I'm trying to convince the ladies that they should also do a radio show discussion of the book on Book Club Girl on Air - if you think that's a good idea, let me, or them, know!
