Well, I've had to change my first book already! The Margaret Atwood book is very good but I was trying to read it at the same time as I am reading Moll Flanders and they are too similar even though they take place about a century apart. So I changed to
I really liked it, was a much quicker read. I'll go back and finish Alias Grace someday soon - after I finish Moll Flanders. Here's my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...My next read is

Not a good read for you, huh?
It wasn't actually bad to read, Cherie, as much as I felt I had been there before! You know, ethnic girl gets bullied because she's different. She doesn't want to be different, wants to fit in but is afraid to buck her traditional family and its ways. Ends up married to a guy her family likes, it's a "great match" and then ends up messing up her whole life. I was just hoping for more!

Here's my review, I gave it 5 stars http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...Next book is The Grapes of Wrath

I am reading The Forgotten Garden now, so I have to wait to read your review. I am about 1/2 way through, I think. Can't wait to see what you said! :)

I liked what I read so far very much but it was too similar to the Moll Flanders I was reading at the time which was the group read. Hopefully I will get back to it very soon because I have enjoyed everything I have read by her
Cherie, I can't wait to hear what you think! My reviews are never detailed, I just give my feelings about the book, not the plot line or anything. If I hadn't read it already I would suggest it for August as a family saga.
I'm still reading The Grapes of Wrath and I am enjoying it more than I originally thought I would. It is a bit ponderous and heavy in nature but the story is fabulous. I've been reading it before bed though so I sometimes conk out before I get too far.
I finished The Grapes of Wrath Liked it a lot and here's my review:http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I have Julia's Chocolates on my tbr. Glad to see you liked it.You're doing great on your alphabet!
Jaxnsmom, I think you will love it! My daughter read it first and when I asked her if she thought I should use it for the challenge she said definitely! It had been on my shelf for quite a while, like a year or more, so I'm glad I got to read it sooner than later!
Oh sigh. It's getting awfully crowded in that "I'll have to move it to the top of my tbr" list :)
I know that feeling j'mom! And then some new book is published and it has to go to the top... never ending!
Great! Good to know, Janice, thanks! I'll probably be starting it today!
Just finished

I'm glad you enjoyed The Lace Reader. :)
Thanks, Janice! I'm happy when I get hold of a book that brings a lot of enjoyment and is a pleasure to read!
