Have fun making your list...that's almost as much fun as reading all the great books you select!

[Dawn]

And then when you change your mind and have to remake the list....it's almost as much fun! :)

[Tasha]

true! Have fun Tanya. :)

[Laura]

Welcome, Tanya, and have fun! :)

[Tanya]

Thank you :) It was fun and kind of tough! Some books I thought were over 500 pages turned out not to be :(

Night Film was a really good book, I really did like it. I know a lot of people didn't like the ending, but I think the ending fit with the book perfectly. You should definitely check it out- for a big book it's a pretty fast read.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'll keep my eye out for it. Thanks Tanya.

[Marnie]

Congratulations on finishing Slicks. I will be interested in what you think of The Bone Season...it has me curious.
