The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor

Drown by Junot Diaz

The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

haha, yeah... I cleaned off my bookshelves because I ran out of space, took a whole bunch of books to the second hand bookstore, and then brought more books home that I have no where to put! Makes so much sense. lol

I recently read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for the first time. I really liked it. I could not believe I did not read it for school.:)

Kailana: my problem is that I bring books home from the store but I don't donate any, I just can't stand to give them away.

Brittanie: I'm the same way, I'm always amazed at the books that I've never gotten around to reading.
