Read two great, but very different, books this weekend:
111. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
112. School of Fortune by Amanda Brown
Haven't got much reading done this month due to Uni. work :( But have read:
107. The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
108. Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary
October's reading is a bit slow as I've had so much homework for Uni, but I have managed two quick reads.
103. Fooling Around by Francine Pascal
104. Spy Girl by Francine Pascal
Thanks! Really enjoyed Remember Me? and thought it was one of her best novels so far!
102. Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella
Whoop! Finally finished Wuthering Heights, and one more kids book, so now I'm over the 100 line!
100. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
101. Dawn and the Older Boy by Ann M. Martin
Currently reading Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and really enjoying it - perfect book for curling up with after my first day of lectures!
Another BSC book!
99. Kristy's Mystery Admirer by Ann M. Martin
Have about 60 pages left of Wuthering Heights so hopefully that will be book #100!
Just started Uni. and have had hardly any time to do any real read, although I have reread these:
97. Logan Likes Mary Anne! by Ann M. Martin
98. Boy-Crazy Stacey by Ann M. Martin
96. Being Nikki by Meg Cabot
Another Meg Cabot as I finally got a hold of this book from the library! Had to read it in a bit of a rush because I'm moving out on Saturday and won't be home in time to return it to the library and I hate it when other people return books late :P
95. Every Boy's Got One by Meg Cabot
Not as good as the other two 'Boy' novels but was a quick and easy read.
92. The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
Interesting book, but I would probably never have read it if I hadn't received it as a freebie from the University of St. Andrews. Still not sure if I'll join in the book group discussion during Freshers week!
Hi Stephanie,
I also agree that The Diplomant's Wife can stand on its own but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Kommandant's Girl. I felt that some of the events (particularly the dramatic ending) were a little bit over the top! However, it was still an enjoyable and face-paced book. I think what really interested me about Kommandant's Girl was the subject matter, as - to my knowledge - there are few accessible novels about the Jewish resistance.
So, yes, I did read The Diplomat's Wife back in June of this year. I noticed that she has a new book out, set in England - I can't remember the title now. Have you read it?
Three more books for August:
89. The Sunflower Forest by Torey Hayden
A wonderful book, no idea why it's been out of print for so long!
90. Double Cross by Malorie Blackman
91. Hidden Talents by Erica James
