Be sure to get to that one during the summer too since it takes place mostly in the summer.<br /><br />The Corrections is also probably one of my all time fave books. I actually like it less as I get older but I consider it invaluable for teaching me about writing.Mollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737883086499020291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-6509498207297933592010-07-03T11:57:38.718-07:002010-07-03T11:57:38.718-07:00My daughter was visiting her grandparents in NYC, ...My daughter was visiting her grandparents in NYC, while my husband and I were in Canada for our anniversary, and she complained of the blistering heat. I recognize several favorites on your impressive spring reading list, especially Night. Congratulations on reading and reviewing so many.<br /><br />My reading destination is Nantucket Island later in August with 2 terrific independent bookstores, plenty of beaches and a hammock. I just finished rereading Wuthering Heights, and now I’m reading Jane Green’s latest, Promises to Keep, a good beach book as that is where I'm headed tomorrow. I just bought The Tinker (Pulitzer Prize) and ordered the latest David Mitchell from our independent bookstore after reading the review in the NYT. I have a huge stack of other books too.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-64932418869588042022010-06-28T09:54:10.382-07:002010-06-28T09:54:10.382-07:00Looks like you did terrific!Looks like you did terrific!DCMetroreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229456529059098518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-58592690756861978282010-06-28T07:29:51.743-07:002010-06-28T07:29:51.743-07:00Looks like for got some great books read, and some...Looks like for got some great books read, and some other good ones to come.<br /><br />The Space Between Us is fabulous; do not miss it!(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-40859371823284842002010-06-27T13:41:30.722-07:002010-06-27T13:41:30.722-07:00I've found I can only stick to preplanned list...I've found I can only stick to preplanned lists for so long and then I start to wing it.
