I've read Walk Two Moons and Middlesex. Both are very good!! I look forward to your reviews for a couple others that are of interest to me! Diane
This challenge sounds oh so tempting! You've got some good books on there - some I've been meaning to read one of these days. I do hope you enjoy Hotel du Lac. Loved that book. Have fun!
What a great list, Alisia!
I have heard lots of good things about Bel Canto; I have Run on my TBR-pile, but Bel Canto sounds interesting too.
I read Hotel du Lac way back in high school and I only remember I didn't care for it at all. That may have been the age, though. It is one of the books I'd like to reread to see what I make of it with fifteen more years of life and experience under my belt.
The Cairo Trilogy is on my TBR-pile . I am seriously thinking about picking it up some time over the summer. I am looking forward to those three books so much!
Middlesex is the only one on your list I have actually read. I loved it, but I needed a bit of time to get into the book.
I'm doing this challenge, too. In fact, I'm reading my first book for it right now. It was fun to see your list - we don't have any books in common.
As an avid reader myself, I would definately recommend Bel Canto- it is a very well written book with a unique story. I hope you enjoy it.
Also, I just discovered your blog, and I already love it. Keep it up!
