Jason, welcome to our little group! I really liked Her Fearful Symmetry and I agree that it holds your attention!
3. Shadow Tag by L. Erdrich - 3 Stars - Interesting premise for strange, dysfunctional, and unhealthy love, with an interesting ending. Would recommend. 4. GO WITH ME by C. Freeman - 3 Stars - Quick read with an interesting cast of characters.
5. HAUNTING BOMBAY by S. Agarwal - 2 Stars - A rather timid ghost story set in 1940's Bombay.
I look forward to following your reads Jason! It looks like you are new to Goodreads as well. I have to worn you it is habit forming...lol
6. The Coral Thief by R. Stott - 3 Stars - Historical fiction/mystery filled with science, interesting characters (both real and fictitious) and even love.

Jason, I read your review on The Postmistress and it seems to be about the same as what most people are saying. I was really looking forward to this book too, so I'll still read it at some point.

Enjoyed it - but certainly not a feel good book. I look forward to Middlesex which is also by this author.
Jason, I have both of these to read but they never call to me. I did start Middlesex and put it down. I still have it and plan on giving it another try since most people seem to like it a lot.
Middlesex was awesome!!! I want to read the Virgin Suicides! It's not on my TBR shelf but it's on my wishlist!
