pickCongrats to our runner-up in nonfiction: Peggy Orenstein's GIRLS & SEX!! Orenstein provides extremely important data about how girls (and boys) perceive sex in our culture. She discusses extensively the problems with porn culture, ignoring rape, and generally how society as a whole does (or does not) talk about sex. A great read for anyone who wants to better understand this important topic.

pickIt won't come as a surprise to you, our valued listeners, that Rebecca Traister's ALL THE SINGLE LADIES was the nonfiction winner for the inaugural Reading Women Award. Thoroughly researched and covering a wide range of topics, this book shows how women, specifically single women, contributed to modern America. Buy it for everyone on your Christmas list.
