Wow! You are quite the reader. I am sorry to hear that you and your fam have been so sick. I hope you are feeling better. How was book club? I have had so much going on this month and never read the book. What was it about? Do you recomend it?
A lot of them are books I read in High School for required reading assignments.
Book club was fun. I do recommend it. The Book Thief is about WWII in a way. It was a very unique narrator and style and I thought it was very good!
You've got me beat! :) My is being posted tomorrow!
I do have to say as well, that I'm not sure it's entirely fair that you've included (in YOUR list) books that Tyson has read. ;P
I marked them, but I didn't count them. ;)
