Yay! Thank you so much for joining! Great book choices too - I've only read the last two you listed, so I'll look for your reviews on the others!
ReplyDeleteNice book choices. I have Water For Elephants on my shelf but haven't tried it yet--here's hoping it's a good one. Good luck on your challenges :)
ReplyDeleteWater for Elephants is a wonderful book! It was one I didn't expect to like as much as I did!
