A Thousand Splendid Suns
by Khaled Hosseini
A thousand splendid suns (9/3/2009)
I couldn't put it down. A truly powerful and emotional story. It gave me a new appreciation of the plight of women in third world countries.
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
by David Wroblewski
The story of Edgar Sawtell (9/3/2009)
I loved the book. It was well written, had a very unique plot, and interesting characters, even the dogs. Yes it was sad, but so is real life at times. It kept my interest all the way through. And when I finished it, it stayed with me for days.
