  8. 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.

  14. Adichie has a new book coming out? Squee!

    I 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. :)
