I really should read To Kill a Mockingbird.
Here is mine
I cannot sing enough praises (and am sooo glad to see) A Long Long Time Ago on your list! And I capture the castle! Such great books!!!
Here is my Monday!
I so want to read One Day but I got to finish my current TBR pile. The Cellist of Sarajevo looks really interesting too.
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is supposed to be wonderful read, I truly hope you enjoy it!
Have a fabulous reading week and if you get a chance, stop by: Monday Reading's at There's A Book
I have added the Sound of Language to my TBR list. I think I was caught by the title, but the description clinched it.
Enjoy your books. This is my first week participating. I highlighted four of the books I'm currently reading. Pussreboots.
Love this topic! Just finished Affinity by Sarah Waters and have started And This Is True by Emily Mackie!!
You have some good books going on here! I am still waiting for my copy of To Kill A Mocking bird to arrive. :)
I hope the Sandra Dallas book was good, I read her quite a while ago and really enjoyed her.
I've heard lots of things about Backseat Saints - looking forward to seeing your thoughts! Happy Monday.
I feel like I should read To Kill a Mockingbird for the anniversary. It has been years since I read the novel. I haven't heard of the other books on your list, but I hope you enjoy them!
Tallgrass is on my TBR pile and it really needs to move up the stack. Just finished Ayelet Waldman's Red Hook Road and will be holding a giveaway starting later this week.

The Cellist of Sarajevo is one of my favorite books ever. Hope you like it.
Re-reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" never gets old! I've not read a single bad review of "Backseat Saints", so I hope that you enjoy it. My suggestion on your tbr pile - The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly - I have that one on my to-buy list - it just sounds as though it would be an awesome read!
Thanks for visiting my Monday!
