I'm excited about this community and this challenge. I hope I can do it in a month. I'm going to start by counting the book I read last month.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. Much like everyone else, I fell in love with this book. It was hard for me to put down. Even the characters I found hard to take, were made a little relatable as I continued reading.
The Third Life of Copeland Grange by Alice Walker...I have read this book already. I believe it was her first novel.
I am looking forward to finding book ideas through this community and am glad to have joined.
Edit: I also meant to add Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson. This story is amazing, dark, funny. It's mystical, futuristic and yet has an old feeling to it.
So two read, one current.
