Well, it’s time once again to see what awesome new videos the Penguin Random House channels have to offer.
This week we’re looking at ‘Books Written by Women,’ rethinking a speech by President Ronald Reagan, an author talks about the author that influenced her, and Hoot and Peep. I’m including the videos for the first and last clips and you can click on the link at the end of the cutline on the other two videos to be taken to their corresponding clips on YouTube. I’m going to try to make it so if you click on the video photo it will take you to the clip. If that doesn’t work just click on the link at the end of the cutline.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you found something of interest. Have you read any of the books recommended by Abbe and Emma? Do you agree with author Eddie Glaude about the speech?
I haven't read any of these - and books (fiction and non-fiction) by women are always on my go to list. Thank you for expanding my range again.
ReplyDeleteHi Mason - I haven't read any of these but the Brightly Storytime "Hoot and Peep" looks to be great fun for family fun ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteReagan's still my favorite president. From the group, Brightly Storytime sounds the most appealing. And it's odd women writers still struggle - almost all of my blogger buddies who are authors are women. Don't know why higher up the ladder they go, the harder it gets. That's not right.
ReplyDeleteI really like this feature, Mason. It's always good to know some of the new things that are out there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post dear! I did a post on women authors in sci fi not too long ago.. <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
