Run by Ann Patchett
The River, By Moonlight Camille Marchetta
Eating for Energy by Yuri Elkaim

I have also just finished The Inheritance of Loss, and am currently finishing up What if...? by Steve Lee. I'll be writing these up soon.

I bought the Kiran Desai book even before she won the award. Can you believe it, I have not got around reading it as yet!

Now I ask you, what is wrong with me?

*grin*

Interesting blogs, links and books

What did you the of the Desai? I was disappointed personally, the first few pages were gorgeously written, then I just felt she was trying hard to be clever. There were some great sections but not enough

I have The Glass Castle on my bookshelf right now.Soon I will get around to reading it.

But maybe I won't read The Gargoyle now.

Please enter me in the giveaway for Matrimony.

Happy Sunday!

You did the right thing about The Gargoyle. If it wasn't for you, it wasn't. There's no reason to force yourself to read something. I've had a copy of The Inheritance of Loss now for a year, but I've not been able to get to it. Desai graduated from Hollins University, where I got my Master's Degree. I'll be reading it for my Book Awards Challenge this year, though. I can't wait to read your review.

I am so impressed (again) with how fast you read and how wonderful your reviews are; I am still plodding through the same book for three weeks.
