Contest! (For Book-Lovers!)

Our small business, La SuaVoce Jewelry Designs, is influenced a bit by our love of writing and reading (our Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice pieces, for example!). We are offering a free pair of earrings to the winner of our newest contest.


How does it work?

Correctly guess two of the three books we photograph our pieces on. Check out the pics below for some hints!

Hint: There are seven books in this series...

Hint: Pyramids and treasure.

Hint: Author's last name means "snow" in Latin.

Don't forget to look at more pieces in our shop!

Good luck!

Postmodern Reads

I spent the first ten weeks of my summer working for my campus' press. We publish Chicago studies books but also innovative literature. I ran across this link to a list of 61 "essential" Postmodern reads. I have been asked (and asked again!): What exactly is innovative and Postmodern lit? The concept is very hard to define. I suggest reading a couple examples. I don't a hundred percent agree with all books on this list (and I'd add another: The Jiri Chronicles and Other Fictions by Debra Di Blasi, my favorite innovative piece from the summer), but it's worth a look!

Happy reading!
