  1. CUTTING FOR STONE is of the best books I have read in some time. I highly recommend it.

  2. John Caulfield's ALL MY SAD DREAMING was a gem of a book. I hope others read it and enjoy it.

  7. I read #1 Ladies Detective Agency (the first one) during a book exchange but I didn't end up writing a review about it on my blog because I didn't really love it as much as I thought I would, and I think it just got lost in the mix of my other blog posts. So I just posted a link to my blog along with the title above! If you're looking for an easy read this is a good pick, it definitely wasn't an AWFUL book, I just won't be reading the rest of them.

  8. I entered "ON BLACK SISTER STREET" by Chika Unigwe ~ Nigeria~ Africa

    I do not seem to know how to get my name and book on Mr. Linky.

    If you click on "Madeleine" it will take you to the book

  12. Wow, this one turned out to be tough! Anna Hibiscus is a kids book, but I just noticed the The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind isn't a novel, so it didn't count.
