Very interested to hear what you think of these.
I actually have a copy of Friday Night Knitting Club and haven't gotten to it yet. I'll have to see if your review pushes that one into my lap!
Have a fabulous reading week!
I see you have Middlesex up there on your sidebar. Wonderin' if that'll be comin' up soon. I have that book and haven't read it yet. It's pretty long. I should though. It keeps staring at me. Ha ha
I like to do that too sometimes...just pick up what I'm in the mood for at the moment.
Have a great week, Aths :)
