Congrats on the first King. I really love this story, and read it every year. Its my favorite, after the Talisman.

Cool beans that your library is getting BIGGER!! Woot!

I'm going to commit to because I've knocked out almost all of Weir's historical fiction from this time period and this is one of the few I have left.

[Kristen]

I'm committing to a re-read actually - City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.

[Lindsey]

I'll commit to

[Lance]

I’m late but here’s mine:

[Diana S]

I'll commit on reading: The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo

[Bill, Moderator]

The White Russian by Tom Bradby

[Jennifer, Moderator]

I'm reading my pick today. I'm always impressed by how Weir, primarily a biographer and nonfiction writer, deftly bridges the gap between nonfiction and historical fiction.

[Lance]

Finished my pick today - absolutely loved it! A very fun read!

Baby steps. Start with short stories and see how you feel about them. After a set of short stories, go to Carrie.
