Today's other post: Library Loot
You read a lot of quality books in June!! I want to read Last Night in Montreal and would like to pick up a Sarah Waters book.
ReplyDeleteI see Weight of Heaven on your GoodReads list. I reviewed it on 5M4B. I loved it. But then I lent it to a friend, and she didn't love it, so I'm curious to see what others think of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know "What's on Your Nightstand."
I have a friend who is spending her second summer in Kenya-- she just left yesterday-- and she's been interested in reading as much as she could in the way of fiction from the area. I'll have to let her know about the title on your list here.
ReplyDeleteYou are one big reader, that's for sure! :)
Hey, thanks for giving Last Night in Montreal 4 stars! Glad you enjoyed it.
