So I'm a book behind on this challenge if I'm going to get through all twelve. Thanks for the nudge about an update. Coming shortly!jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606291700379987935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-6630941800944747762019-03-03T08:16:02.097-08:002019-03-03T08:16:02.097-08:00How is the list going?

Any other additions? <br /><br />I keep getting stuck on that Warmth of Other Suns book, I said I had read it in grad school (impossible due to how new it is). I have been trying to track down what I did read. May have to email an old fellow student from NYU.

I've read 2 of them -- The Last Child, which I don't remember but called a good airplane book on Goodreads; and Case Histories, which was soooo fabulous but soooo sad. Read it when you have tissues nearby. jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606291700379987935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-79107478506356270612019-01-19T08:25:12.261-08:002019-01-19T08:25:12.261-08:00Thanks for stopping by, NancyAZ!

I haven't started reading any of these yet -- maybe I'll pick up Girl in Translation first with your recommendation. jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606291700379987935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-75148147255313101632019-01-18T14:27:19.911-08:002019-01-18T14:27:19.911-08:00This looks like a great list.

I've read Girl in Translation and liked it a lot (4 star read) and H is for Hawk I had to put down but I do think I'll go back to it. I think it just wasn't the right book at that particular moment. Good luck with the challenge. I'm looking forward to everyone's reviews!NancyAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120588276339140386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-26693301022869269992019-01-08T10:16:28.831-08:002019-01-08T10:16:28.831-08:00Hi Lisa!

But it was fun to go through my own shelves and find things to read -- kind of like going to the bookstore, but in my pajamas. jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606291700379987935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-45355410915280115182019-01-08T04:32:31.308-08:002019-01-08T04:32:31.308-08:00That looks like a great stack!

I have had The Warmth of Other Suns on my TBR list - but not the stacks - and even checked it out of the library once.<br /><br />I waffled about signing up for this challenge. I know I'll read 12 books off the TBR stacks this year, but somehow committing to do so makes me feel like I'd fail at it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.com
