    I almost put The Mermaid Chair on my Fall Into Reading list. One of these days, I'll get to it!

    You've got several books on your list that I've really enjoyed: Death of a Stranger, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, The Kite Runner, The Historian, and The Help. I somewhat envy you reading them for the first time!

    Happy reading!

    Great list! It looks like we have pretty similar reading interests; I either want to read or have read many of the books on your list. Happy reading!

    The only book I recognize on your list (though I did recognize many of the authors) is The Help. I read it a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it! Happy Reading!

    Looks great, Amy! I know others have already said this, but The Help is a really wonderful book. I think you'll love it! The Kite Runner is hard to read at times, because of the subject matter, but was a very good book. Thanks so much for being part of the challenge. Enjoy your fall reading!

    ooooh, you're going to have a good fall reading! :) I'm so jealous you get to read The Kite Runner for the first time. I think it was MASTERFULLY written! It's one of very few books that as soon as I finished it, I went back to the beginning and started reading it again! The Help was an enjoyable read too. Hope you enjoy them! :)

    Lots of variety in your choices. I loved the Help. And I've seen the Kitchen House somewhere and it sounded really good. I've now put on my library list. :v)
