Readathon | 16.49 update

Wow – I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns, and while I didn’t cry I feel quite exhausted by the power of that novel. It’s heart breaking and angering and heart warming all at the same time. If you’ve not read it yet please get hold of a copy as soon as you can. It is one of those books that everyone needs to read. Here’s my review.
I’m off to catch up with some other readers and choose my second book – I think something light is called for after that epic – perhaps a YA.

A couple of hours in and I’m making good progress on A Thousand Splendid Suns – I’m glad I decided to start with this as I’m riveted; in fact I had to drag myself away to write this post!

Book Review | A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Hosseini once again weaves a masterpiece; set against the monstrosities of war is the tale of a mother daughter relationship which shows that love and hope will out in the end.

Yeah! Way to go! I have not read that book yet. Many have recommended it as a must read. Going to check out your review.
Great job! I agree, something light is definitely needed after a book like A Thousand Splendid Suns.

You are doing great. A Thousand Splendid Suns was a great book. I enjoyed it even more than Kite Runner. I will have to check back to see which YA book you chose. Have fun!
Congrats on finishing your first book! And I enjoyed reading your review.
