Renate -- trying to get this right! I think the most powerful thing is to post to the discussion forum, and to your blog. So grateful for everyone's participation today. We are going to make a difference here.
Renate Stendhal said:I want to mention the confusion about WHERE our blogs with books were supposed to be posted. I wonder how many members heard about "Forums" to post while others posted their action (as I did) on Blogs, and others, again, didn't know HOW to post their photos... This was a fast action, of course, but next time I wish the instructions were clearer, Kamy, so we'd all be together in one place!

What a great thread--so interesting to hear what everyone is reading. In my blog post I asked for recommendations for book review blogs people feel do right by women, but since I'm not expecting a lot of traffic (it's my first blog post here) I'd be happy if anyone could steer me in a promising direction. My traditional review sources just aren't cutting it. My interest is in literary fiction.
Oh, and I bought Lorri Moore's A GATE AT THE STAIRS.

I bought Nuala O' Faolain's ,Best Love Rosie.
Three of my favourite books by Nuala are, Are You somebody, Almost There and My Dream Of You.
Nuala O' Faolain, was a brilliant Irish writer who sadly died last year. She was a great traveller, a passionate writer and was admired by people from all over the world for her brutal honesty.
I'M SO PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF 'SHE WRITES'!

I had to go mostly used book because I'm POOR, but I bought (at my awesome local independent bookstore, unnamable books in brooklyn):
1. What Moves at the Margin: Selected Nonfiction, Toni Morrison
2. The Collected Writings of Zelda Fitzgerald
3. The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath (*stunning* cover on this Harper Perennial Olive Editions copy)

Hi Kamy! Thanks for the props in your last note--I appreciate it!
I've been so preoccupied with this issue that I wrote a blog (on blogger) & just posted it a minute ago here. Not sure if you have checked the feedback section of the PW page, but I was so infuriated by a few of the posts I felt I had to respond. Check out my post "Women writers must be Lame" below:
http://www.shewrites.com/xn/detail/3506464:BlogPost:61436?xg_source...
and note my "response" to one of the comments (male, of course) at the end of my post.
Thanks again for getting us fired up!
Rachel
