Congrats on your badge! What did you think of Little Fires Everywhere? I'm thinking about reading it for the same task.

It is truly an incredible novel. One of the best I've read this year. Very rarely does one come across such gems. I wish I could've read it for a book club though, since there are so many ideas that ought to be discussed and bounced off others.

So funny - every time I see the title, it makes me want to read it again! I loved it. It really does say it all, doesn't it?

It surely is a delightful read Cherie. I couldn't believe how dense yet amusing it was. Wish I could read it for a book club. This book demands discussion, bouncing off ideas and good company.

I own both of your last two books. I have Interview with a Vampire listed for the same task, but I had Gilead under the Orange prize task. I have moved it to Iowa.

Same here Cherie. I couldn't find any other book for an Iowa setting.

I made a mistake of putting Interview with a Vampire for Horror genre task, when clearly it could've gone for the Vampire task of Book 35. Silly me!

Sorry, this doesn't meet the task requirement. The task reads, "Read a book with a tattoo on cover or the, word "tattoo" in the title. " There is no provision in the task for a potential tattoo.
