We do have a couple Husky reads in the line up but as always the threads will stay open under the topic.

Thank you!!

Really looking forward to getting to July Iceland's Bell by Halldór Laxness (Iceland, 1943). It's been on my reading list for a long time, so hopefully this is the push to get me to actually pick it up!

[Lesle, Appalachian Bibliophile]

Michelle, I have not read anything by Halldór Laxness this might be a great one to start with.

Thank you Luis for the push!

I have not either, but I've had it on my list for a long time. It's longer than my typical reads so I think I needed a push to read it!

There are several on the list I have that I want to read and there are ones I want to purchase as well.

I think it is a great list!
