What are you reading?
I am bowing to you. I love your suggestions. I didn’t see The Help on there which I highly recommend and my book of 2010 is a non-fiction you must read called What I Thought I Knew. Thank you for your great review.
Thanks Candice! I read The Help last year and LOVED it!
Good God! You must be a fast reader! I might have read one actual book this year (Little Bee) which I loved. And I’m happy to see thumbs up on the new Ken Follett book. It’s on my list of what I wanted for Christmas but didn’t get.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed. I am lucky to get to a dozen books in a year. And that is stretching it. How in the world do you read and blog?
