I'm a very slow reader, hence the short list.

Hello and welcome to the SoW, Yoana!

I'm a slow reader, too, so no worries.:)

Welcome, Yoana! The Age of Innocence, The Fifth Child, and The Garden Party and Other Stories are all 500 GBBW, so I hope they all go well.

Yeah, I don't have that many more books on my shelf either :) But now I'm tempted to add Doris Lessing to my shelf as well...

I am very interested in Doris Lessing, myself. I hope you get a chance to try her.:)

I loved The Summer Before the Dark, so when I saw a bunch of her books in beautiful hardback editions, 30% off at a book fair, I had to get one. I can't wait to start it either.

Mmmm, sounds delightful!

Here's my review of The Garden Party and Other Stories

Hi Yoana. Quick question. Would it be alright if I incorporated your review into the 500 GBBW page for this work? I feel your writing would help bring this collection to more readers.

Edit: While I'm on the topic of asking, could I also include your review of The Age of Innocence? It won't hurt a bit, I promise.

Of course, go ahead! And thank you :)

Excellent, and my pleasure! You'll be the first reviewer for both, so it's too good an opportunity to pass by.
