The Road. We thought this was an excellent movie adaptation. Highly recommended but please read the book first! (My review of the novel The Road.)
What was your favorite book of the month?
You hae some lovely books on your list. I also enjoy international authors and women's fiction. Here are my current reade: My Sunday Salon.
ReplyDeleteFavorite book of the month?! I don't think I read an entire book this month. :-) You inspire me, though, with your reading lists and reviews.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book this month was A Fierce Radiance by Lauren Belfer. I read your review on Mockingbird and must pick a copy of this to read. I work with kids with Asperger S. and your review was excellent. I can't wait to read it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Glad one of my books is on your TBR list :) If you're interested, I just started a column at the Huffington Post where I'll be chronicling the writing on my new novel. You can go to Huff Po and search for Jennie Nash to find it. Cheers!
