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.

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.
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.
Wow, so many that you really enjoyed! I've actually never read any of these. It's nice that there are always so many new books to discover. :)

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!

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.
Wow, finishing all your challenges is great! And I think most of us reuse books in the different challenges.
Congrats, Sue. It's a great accomplishment. I can't imagine not using books for multiple challenges.
