Brandy I really enjoyed The Age of Miracles. A friend of a friend went to high school with the author and got me a copy of it when it first came out!

That's a good idea, Jane-Mary. I've read Cider House Rules, but I've been wanting to read more by Irving for years now. I should just get to it, I suppose. :)

Rach (rachlovestv) | 11 comments I keep forgetting about this challenge. :/ Not good! I'm going to need to step it up if I'm going to hit all the states this year. Since my last update, I've read 3 for the challenge: Jaws for New York, Deadlocked for Louisiana, and Delirium for Maine. Check out my profile for reviews! :)
