What I’m Going to Read: Round 5

The winner was Kathleen with her vote for East by Edith Pattou. I’ve put in the request for it from the library and I’m excited to get started. (And, er, I did read The Girl with the Silver Eyes early on last month, but just haven’t gotten around to finishing my review yet. Coming soon!)

There were some seriously good suggestions this month. I wish I could read them all immediately. Alas, I am not a lady of leisure with unlimited reading time.
