"Birthmarked" is really good too!

Yes, read it again if you love it :) they don't have to be books you haven't read. You can do whatever you like :) and we aren't counting articles, so it counts as a B book!

We don't have to read them in alphabetical order do we? If so I'll just have to find another K, I guess...

Holly, I don't think it really matters. I am trying to do them mostly in order depending on availability of the books. I just think it will be easier for me to keep track of. I will work on getting bookshelves and discussions for each letter. You guys are welcome to start them as well if you are ready for a different letter.


That sounds good! I'm interested to see your review.
I was not a fan of Blackbird. Intriguing idea but the resolution to the mystery ended up being the plot line from a famous short story in many high school literature text books. I won't say which as not to ruin it for anyone who might want to read it still, but I found it unoriginal and disappointing once I discovered that's where the plot was going.

Other titles I considered: "Beyond Suspicion" by Catherine Winn, "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty, and "Birthmarked" by Caragh O'Brien
Past titles I have liked: "Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver, "Burn for Burn" by Jenny Han, "Beloved" by Toni Morrison,
