I've been toying with The Cook...should I? Shouldn't I? Reviews seem to suggest that it is a true original, so it's probably a 'should' - will look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird yet? Oh my you will love it. I wish I could read it again with fresh eyes.
ReplyDeletePainted Girls looks interesting. Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful new year with lots of good reading.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all your books in 2013! To Kill a Mockingbird is certainly a favorite of mine. :-)

ReplyDeleteAmericanah is on my list of must read books for 2013 as well. I've been stalking the publisher hoping for an ARC or galley copy sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteAdichie has a new book coming out? Squee!
ReplyDeleteI love TOo Kill a Mockingbird & am also a fan of Kincaid. I found So Long A Letter to be quite interesting and a nice one-sitting book. :)
To Kill a Mockingbird of course. Too bad I can't edit for typos! ;)
