Permalink Reply by Leslie Shimotakahara on January 21, 2012 at 2:33pm Hi, I'm Leslie, a new author, whose first book, a memoir called The Reading List: Literature, Love and Back Again has just been published. To celebrate, I'm giving away two copies of my book at my blog. Please visit my blog The Reading List for details on how to enter!
Here is a quick summary about my book:
Leslie Shimotakahara is a young, disenchanted English professor struggling to revive her childhood love of reading. Her father Jack, recently retired from a high-powered corporate job, finally has time to take up reading books for pleasure. The Reading List tells the story of Leslie’s return home to Toronto to rethink her life and decide what to do next. At the same time, she bonds with her dad over discussions about the lives, loves and works of the novelists on their reading list – Wharton, Joyce, Woolf and Atwood, to name a few. But when their conversations about literature unearth some heartbreaking, deeply buried family secrets surrounding Jack’s own childhood – growing up Japanese-Canadian in the aftermath of World War II – Leslie’s world is changed forever. Could discovering the truth about her father’s past hold the key to her finally being happy in love, life and career?
-Emma Donoghue, author of Room

I'm giving away free copies of my book, If I Had My Way, for review in ebook or pdf format. Also available to giveaway for blog giveaways if needed.
Product Detail: If I Had My Way is a collection of ten short stories. This splendid collection of short stories begins with Sunshine. A story of a young girl coming into her own as a young woman on her graduation day. Tandrin Drive is the tragic tale of a dysfunctional family of women trying to escape their dark past. Journey is a story with the theme of poetic justice at its core. A teenage boy who has been given more chances than he deserves but may find it's too late to get the one last chance he desperately wants. The story Thirst, is a tale of romance and longing. It is humorous and romantic and will leave readers yearning for more. Match Maker is a story of a young friendship built on the foundation of courage and trust. Five Minutes is the story of Niceta, a young woman fighting for her freedom as she tries to escape the life she is trapped in with her two young children. If you ever had a feeling that someone was lying, then you will be able to relate to Poison Ivy, a story about a young girl who senses when something just isn't right. The story Substitute is a compelling story about two brothers who both empathize with the plight of each other for different reasons. It's heartfelt and shows the lengths that brothers will go to to keep a loved one happy. A love story, titled Love, is indicative of loving someone through good and bad times, ups and down. Unseen is the last story in the collection, about a two women, vying for the affection of one man's attention and devotion. For the wife, it's hard to compete when the woman she's up against is her mother-in-law. These ten short stories are also available individually.
