Sue K H (sky_bluez) | 3694 comments Thank you, Terris. I definitely need to try that one. I keep thinking about these stories so I bet I would keep thinking about that one like you did.

Kathleen | 5458 comments A great bunch, Sue! I'm a McCullers fan too, and think they're all haunting. Except for the title story, I haven't read the others in this collection, so I'll make sure to get to them.

Sue K H (sky_bluez) | 3694 comments Thank you, Kathleen. I think you would love this collection. There is one that reminds me of James Joyce’s The Dead. They are all very different, and wonderful in their own way.

I hope you like it too, Sara. I noticed that it's not as well liked as some of the others but it was a fast read and I enjoyed it all the way through. Also, I'm thrilled to have another Pulitzer down!

You are really knocking them out. I am determined to get to at least four more before the end of the year. Two of them are a must...on a challenge and owned!

Terris | 4385 comments Wow, Sue! You're doing great! Keep it up in April :)

Sue K H (sky_bluez) | 3694 comments Closing this one out now too. I didn't have time for updates, other than marking things off, but I completed all my challenges. I couldn't have done it if I didn't use some books 2-4 times between these in the BINGO.


message 66: by Wobbley (new)

Wobbley | 2517 comments Wow, finishing all your challenges is great! And I think most of us reuse books in the different challenges.
