I felt I tackled some large books this month, Jane Eyre, The Blind Assassin, and We started the month off slowly, and I didnt' expect to end up reading this many books. A few children's novels helped the stats at the end of the month. I am pleased with the quality of books and the variety: I had dystopian, classic, scifi, childrens, young adult, contemporary and just released fiction. I've got Canadian and world views, old and new authors, with a total of 13 books. A few challenges are just about done, and there are some great ones about to begin. Happy Reading!

Is Ishiguro totally new to you? If so, you have got to read The Remains of the Day!
ReplyDeletebookfool - yes! I loved the book and I can't wait for The Remains of the Day.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Never Let Me Go! Such a strangely sparse book. But had a big impact!! Glad you liked it!
