This week's link has a little charity flavour.
You might remember a few weeks ago Sammy did a post about Breakthrough Breast Cancer's fundraising fashion. They have just added a new campaign and as its related to books (which I LOVE) we thought it only fair you guys should know about it.
Breakthrough Breast Cancer has teamed up with Penguin and
WHSmith to launch the Read Pink - Make a Difference campaign. Each of the Read Pink titles carry a 50p
donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer and WHSmith are offering a "buy one get one half price"
promotion on the titles! Even better.
I have heard about some of the books on the list and also read a few. My favourite being The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This book is about African-American maids from the Deep South in the 1960's who decide to help a woman write a book about their treatment at the hands of their white employers. This is a hard hitting subject which really lets you into the world in which women in the deep south would have been in. It is an uplifting book though, all that being said and you come out of it knowing that people who believe in each other and trust each other really do win.
