Please could you read Americanah? I've been debating whether to read it or not - you can test it out for me! :)

Book pick!

Kite Runner - Page turner. BUT I never finish reading it. Some content gave me SERIOUS nightmares. Not sure why.

My personal pick would be Autobiography – Morrissey….

Have you seen stuff in Good Reads? I'm learning how to use it….

Goodreads is great. I enjoy reading some of the other people´s reviews and comments.

All these books are available in my house, in our library. I´ve read some of them before but wouldn´t mind revisiting them.

And yes, I can´t wait to read Moz´s autobiography! Did you know he´s now writing fiction?

Don’t you want to continue with A Song of Ice and Fire?

I do! But I don´t have the 5th book here with me...
