tunn300 Posted March 21, 2010 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!! Quote

Stephanie2008 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I've read A Handmaid's Tale and Let the Right One In and really enjoyed them both I have the Road and Life of Pi on my wishlist Quote
Lynn Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks Tunn! I think I will make The Little Stranger next then, i've heard such good things about it! I hope you enjoy The Road and A Thousand Splendid Suns as much as I did Quote
Lynn Posted March 21, 2010 Author 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
