message 296: by MacKenzie (new)

2236481 Thanks, Jamie!! I'm so excited I found this group. I'm taking a semester off from college while I apply to transfer, and I'm always looking for things to keep myself occupied. Look forward to reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I've already read A Handmaid's Tale, and LOVED it. I'll be interested to hear what everyone thinks! I'm really liking The Other Boleyn Girl. It's pretty entertaining and moves really fast, especially for historical fiction. Although "historical" is used very loosely, from what my history major friends tell me :) It's definitely not the best book I've ever read, but worth reading, for sure!!
