Last
Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel: I will be picking this one up soon as I am done with White Oleander. I'm reading this one for the Spotlight Series, which incidentally started yesterday, so don't forget to visit the tour-stops of the same.
Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden:
I received this one for review last month, and plan to read it this week.
