I read that one in April. Didn't know he was south American. In June I read his other book "Adultery". I gave it 5 stars.

I need to read my 2 books. Time just flew. Once I finish the ones I'm reading I will pick them up.

I'm proud of myself. I actually finished Purple Hibiscus. Here's my video review

Still reading Purple Hibiscus. I'm 200 pages in. Hoping to finish this this weekend. Yup with a late fee from library. The writing is a bit to get used to though. The names are throwing me for a loop!

Started to read Purple Hibiscus. Mainly because I couldn't renew it from library and it's due back tomorrow. I'm about 80 pages in. So far enjoying it. I'm sure I will probably be paying a late fee for this one. Luckily it's only 10 cents a day so not too bad.
