Didn't post the Blame Game last week, because there was no blame to be placed. Not a lot this week either...I've been fairly good. I've been trying to figure out if I should award points when I buy a book for someone else, and I decided that I should. Why not, right?
So here's the new books with points where appropriate:
*First of all, I was ordering some books for "history through literature" purposes, and it turns out that Amazon was having one of their buy 3, get 1 free deals. But I only needed to order three books for school (The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, and Dawn of Fear by Susan Cooper). So I checked my handy-dandy wish list to see what might be available as a freebie, and decided to go with Sleeping With Ward Cleaver by Jenny Gardiner. Now, I can't honestly say I've ever read a "chick-lit" book before, so this is new territory...but Jean's review made it sound positively irresistible. So point for Jean!
*Secondly, Dewey earns a second point for The Political is Maternal. Her interview not only made it a must-have for myself, but it convinced me that it would be a great birthday gift for Jean. (I awarded Dewey a point earlier for my copy, but didn't want to ruin Jean's surprise by mentioning it then.)
*And last but not least, Becky earns a point for Cat by Mike Dumbleton, a book I just had to order for the Maxidoodle.

Hmmm...Let's see, what to read when you want to escape reality. The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, or Sleeping with Ward Cleaver, by Jenny Gardiner.
I think you'll have much more fun with SWWC ;-). Hope you enjoy it!
