Editors Choice — A Big Box of Books!

I am moving and need to get rid of some books. I love all of them, but I can’t take them to Lithuania. Plus, I have completely made the switch to Kindle.

So, what books will be in the box?

• Sailor Song by Ken Kesey
• All Tomorrow’s Parties by William Gibson
• Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
• The Art of Hunger by Paul Auster
• The Information by Martin Amis
• Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
• Demon Box by Ken Kesey
• Zero History by William Gibson
• The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling
• Hand to Mouth by Paul Auster
• Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
• Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson

That’s 13 books for those counting!

I hope the shipping doesn’t kill me. I left out the Stephen King brick that weighs three pounds. If anyone lives in Tristan da Cunha, please don’t win!

Monthly Book Review / Bonus Prize — The Suicide of the Moon by Taylor Eaton

If that isn’t enough books for you, we have one more to throw on the pile. Metaphorically speaking, anyway. You will be getting a digital copy of her book.

Every month we are going to review one book. Many of these books will be written by authors published on 101 Words. If you have a book and want to participate, get in touch: shannon@101words.org.

This month’s book is The Suicide of the Moon by Taylor Eaton. She would be delighted if you read it.
