I'm looking forward to trying to reduce my TBR pile as much as possible this year. It would be nice to try to get rid of one book shelf, though the urge to buy books (used or new) can sometimes get the better of me. I'll post as I go which ones I read from the TBR pile rather than trying to plan ahead of time. Should be fun!

- And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini"How was this one? He's on my list too.
It wasn't as good as the others he's written. The perspective and time period changed quite a bit throughout - even mid-chapter. Worth reading as it gives insight into how all of the characters' lives are intertwined.

- Do They Hear You When You Cry by Fauziya Kassindja"How did you like this book? It's on my wishlist, too. I had never heard of it until it popped up in my 카지노싸이트 recommendations - it seemed interesting enough to add it to my wishlist.
I really enjoyed it! It was interested to learn about the immigration process in the United States and quite horrifying to hear all of the experiences she went thorough. It is easy to read, but also provides background on some of the legal issues that needed to be resolved.

Great job! You'll be on top of Mount Ararat before the end of the summer!
