I reviewed that last one when it was released if my thoughts on it interest you:<br /><br /><a href="http://freshinkbooks.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-and-war.html" rel="nofollow">Coventry</a><br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you think of your purchases.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-86847115076821641922010-06-30T02:20:15.110-04:002010-06-30T02:20:15.110-04:00Thanks for enabling my addiction, Megan!Thanks for enabling my addiction, Megan!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-6874541847373151442010-06-28T21:05:17.842-04:002010-06-28T21:05:17.842-04:00Amy - Nigerian mini-challenge?

The local libraries are one of my biggest sources of cheap books!<br /><br />Hannah - I've heard many good things about Purple Hibiscus, too. I hope it's as great as everyone says it is!<br /><br />Nymeth - Seems like I can't go more than a week without hearing about Connie Willis from someone in the blogosphere, seems about time I gave her a try! <br /><br />Trisha - Enablers indeed! I even had a bit of enabling from the masses on Twitter the night before when I was deciding whether to go or not. LOL!<br /><br />Diane - Plan to! =)<br /><br />Raych - Flailing duly noted. LOL.<br /><br />Avis - The library sales are much too difficult to resist. Give in to the call! I'm really looking forward to Coventry. It's set during one of my favorite time periods to read about.<br /><br />Amanda - Neeener, neener... ;-) <br /><br />Colleen - Glad to hear you've enjoyed them. Can't wait to read 'em!<br /><br />Jenny - Uhm...I may possibly...definitely...need a new bookshelf. But 19 is definitely moderation for me when it comes to used books sale!<br /><br />Kim - I might go for it. It looks like a quick and very interesting read.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-60371242985826238322010-06-26T15:36:37.926-04:002010-06-26T15:36:37.926-04:00I read The Watson's go to Birmingham when I wa...I read The Watson's go to Birmingham when I was in middle school, I think, and remember it being pretty good.
