“Look at these wings, so perfect to hold you,
I’d like to say again what I have already told you”
Love, love, love Personal Penguin!! Have you heard the song?
I always dread these lists, because they leave me feeling like someone who NEVER reads. But yours is kind of awesome because I’ve read (and own) at least 8 or 9 of these – and that’s if you don’t count all the Harry Potters separately! You have excellent taste in books!
I love some of them and some I haven’t read yet.. Now I will take your suggestions and read some of them. Cuz I am always looking for a good book to read:-)
The Year of Living Biblically was one of the funniest, best, most moving and thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time. It was quite a surprise.
