Scotland and Alaska

A couple of alerts for tomorrow, March 19:

1. We read on Julie Cohen's (Headline’s Little Black Dress author ) blog:

Apparently I’ll be on BBC Radio Scotland tomorrow morning about 10.30ish to talk about the connections between Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series.

Wild Yorkshire moors, love stronger than death, and sexy teenage bloodsuckers. Nice one.

Broadcast

19 Mar 2009 10:05 MacAulay & Co
BBC Radio Scotland (except MW)

It can be listened online here (for a week only).

2. And in Seward City, Alaska, US

Need a good book to curl up with? Here is a unique opportunity to read and discuss with your neighbors. The Seward Community Library Museum is sponsoring Love and Forgiveness, a book discussion opportunity. The series explores the themes of love and forgiveness in everyday life through classic and contemporary literature. The library’s series will explore the theme of Love and Forgiveness in the Face of the Enemy. The library is one of 50 libraries nationwide receiving grants to host the series developed by the American Library Association and the Fetzer Institute’s Campaign for Love and Forgiveness. Doug Capra, series scholar, will lead the discussions and has created a reading guide for each. The first eight people to sign up for a specific title will receive a copy of the book. Please come by the library to sign up, pick up your book and get started on reading while the weather is cold.
