tunn300 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi, Welcome to the world of reading lists. I have a couple of books you have read (A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Road) on my TBR pile so am excited you have given them such good reviews. I have read The Little Stranger earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had never read any of her work before but will be making sure I read some more. Hope you enjoy keeping your list!!

I hope you enjoy The Road and A Thousand Splendid Suns as much as I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi Stephanie I'm really looking forward to Let The Right One In. If it's half as good as the film was then I know i'm going to love it. I'm just sorry I didn't know there was a book first and I would have done it the other way round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
