NOVEL ADVENTURES NINE BOOK GIVEAWAY!

Novel Adventures is a new web original series for people who want to get out of the carpool lane and on to the open road… At the first meeting of the Women’s Classic Book Club in Los Angeles a rabid discussion is taking place about whether to read Jane Austen or D.H. Lawrence. As the merits of each of the great authors is debated in the living room, 4 women; Lizzie, Tamara, Amy and Lily find themselves in the kitchen snacking on crudités and some insanely delicious home-made carrot cake, each wondering “How do we get the hell out of here?” An afternoon adventure was brewing but to where? Somewhere…Anywhere. Instead of staying in and reading books about “classic” heroines’ amazing lives, Lizzie, Tamara, Amy and Lily choose to go out and live them. The offshoot of the Women’s Classic Book Club becomes the Classic Women’s Club. And so it begins. Four women, “classic” in their own right, hit the road in Lizzie’s new Saturn in search of their own novel adventure. The next eight episodes will focus on a different novel and the adventures that the book inspires the four women to take. The novels in the series include the following books:
- The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
- Girls Like Us (Sheila Weller)
- The Bourne Trilogy (Robert Ludlum)
- Monster of Florence (Douglas Preston)
- The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry (Kathleen Flinn)
- Gone With the Wind (Margaret Mitchell)
- Life So Far (Betty Friedan)
- The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society (Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows)
- Knit Two (Kate Jacobs)

I’ve read Gone with the Wind – that was years ago, and also The Old Man and the Sea. I have not seen any of the shows as we do not have cable. Reading is my passion and would love to win this package. Thank you
