Books to Read
I told you that I had been to Barnes and Noble. I thought that I would share my new reading list with all of you. Give me some opinions of these books if you have read them but please, please, please don't give away the endings.
Of course, I picked up three magazines also.
The English Home
La Vie Claire
Country Living
(Okay, yes, I am a romantic at heart)
Here are the books I chose and I have started reading Gilead.
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft (this is from the 1700s)
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
The girls also bought some books.
Mary Kate bought:
The Complete Novels of Jane Austen plus a short story
Lucy got the sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry...can't remember the name or the author. And the newest Lois Lowry book, Gossamer...in the same vein as The Giver, Messenger and Gathering Blue. She is an amazing author. I can't wait to read this one.
Any thoughts?

The sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is Let the Circle Be Unbroken, by Mildred D. Taylor. Powerful and heart-wrenching, but beautiful. I haven't read any of the other books you mentioned...but I am working my way through Ann Brashares' Traveling Pants series again. They're wonderful! I think you and the girls would like them.
