But first, I nap.
Thank you to all those stopping by to cheer me on. I really appreciate it, I just don't know when I'll get around to your blogs.
Great books, Sandra! I've only read Allende's DAUGHTER OF FORTUNE. Loved READING LOLITA IN TEHRAN; that's one of those books that I remember exactly where/when I read it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the readathon ... hope your nap refreshes you!
Reading Lolita is a great book. There was one thing that really helped me when I read it, though, because I wasn't very famliar with middle eastern names, and that was writing down all the girls' names and descriptions on a sheet of paper to refer back to so I didn't have to keep flipping.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your nap!
Have a good nap!
ReplyDeleteI've never read any Allende, but I think I really should. I haven't napped yet, but I'm worried about crashing here in a little bit. For now, I'm off to the library.
ReplyDeleteYay for a nap! I may indulge in one after dinner...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your nap. Good luck with the rest of the read-a-thon and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm cheering you on...I love Allende's work! Its fantastic!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked the book. I heard Isabel Allende on Blog Talk Radio and she's fascinating.
ReplyDeleteA nap sounds like a good plan!
