Hi Jennifer!

First of all: I'm amazed! How many challenges! Wow.
I've had a look through your books and I was in shock when I saw Under the Tuscan Sun. I read that very book almost 7 years ago (after I fell in love with the movie, tho they are very different) and I absolutely loved it! In fact, I was planning on having it re-read this year. Let me know if you want a reading buddy!

Good luck with your challenge(s) and happy reading :)

I also loved the movie Under the Tuscan Sun and have wanted to read it ever since! I would love to have a reading buddy :)
