more books for the bookcase, and another giveaway

My son needed an Agatha Christie book for his litrature class, so I hit the local Goodwill yesterday -- their used book selection is AWESOME. They didn't have the book he needed but I got several more books for me. Thought I'd share my finds:

Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson
March by Geraldine Brooks
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham
The Sweet Potato Queens' Field Guide to Men
French Dirt: The Story of a Garden in the South of France by Richard Goodman
Bhagavad Gita translated by Swami Prabhavananda & Christopher Isherwood
What Would Jackie Do?: An Inspired Guide to Distinctive Living by Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway
The Under Dog and other stories by Agatha Christie

And now for the giveaway:

Julie P. at Booking Mama is giving away 2 copies of In the Land of Invisible Women by Dr. Qanta Ahmed. Contest is open until November 7. Read the book summary and enter the giveaway here.

That's quite a haul! Do you know about this edition of the Gita?

I know less than nothing about this book, I probably wouldn't have even picked it up except it's on the Martel-Harper challenge list. Thanks for the site, I'll check it out!
