Welcome to the challenge, Deb. You have some interesting choices on your list, I may use it as a recommendation for my further readings :)Have a great time reading!
Thanks Anima! I'm really enjoying the challenge of catching up! If I'm able to get all letters done early, I'm going to go back and replace the letters that I filled with an author name with one that is the title. Anyway, here's an update on where I am, with ratings added! And I have to say to anyone looking for a X book, you really HAVE to read Xingu by Edith Wharton. First of all, it's available for free on the web or at Amazon. Second, it's a short story, so easy to get it done. And third, it's about a book club! How perfect, and it's really funny.
And those looking for a Q book...do NOT read The Quiet. It's horribly written, and the subject has been done many times previous to this and much better.

I usually love Stephen King, but this year was tough with a lot of loss among friends and family, and I think it was just way too dark for me in that mood! That's how it goes sometimes! :)
