2.25 Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth (224 pgs.) and Sister Wife by Shelley Hrdlitschka (280 pgs.)
Theme young/child brides: Indian culture: Keeping Corner and Mormon/Polygamy culture: Sister Wife. These were both really good books. I liked Sister Wife a bit more than Keeping Corner though. I'm in the process of doing a compare/contrast essay for my blog so once that's complete I'll update here.

On these totals please correct me if I'm wrong! :-)

Okay :) I'll just let you keep track of my pages, does that work?

That's fine. You can even still keep track of your own if you want to know your actual count of pages read and I'll double check them for the GR pages; I just didn't want you to think there was some weird discrepancy.

No problem :) Thanks for clarifying and being so efficient :D
