Week 6 - Kelly

I finished up The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and posted a review yesterday. I was very impressed. This is probably one of my favorite books of all time.

Week 4 - Kelly

I just posted a review of Michael Cunningham's Specimen Days here. I was very impressed by this book. It is very complex and intelligent, but still a great read. I'm also finishing up Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find for the Southern Reading Challenge. Not sure what my next pick for SRC2 will be. I'm contemplating The Book Thief... Enjoy your weekend reading!

Kelly - Week 3

While on vacation last weekend, I finished The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. This was a fantastic book that I whole-heartedly recommend to anyone who loves fairy tales, fantasy and a good coming-of-age story. I have posted my review here. I also recently finished The Jane Austen Book Club, but I plan on reviewing that one at the same time as Mansfield Park, once I finish it. This week, I'm reading Michael Cunningham's Specimen Days and finding that he writes quite beautifully. A review of that will come in week 4. Happy reading everyone!

Week 1 - Kelly

Just finished the first book from my SRC list, Daphne Du Maurier's The House on the Strand. Although she is a very good author, this is not her best work in my opinion. I have posted a review here: The House on the Strand. I'm hoping for better luck with my other picks. Happy reading everyone!
