The Sea is one of the only ones I can't get at my library - I wish I could get it for just $2.99!<br /><br />You have made me very excited about The Invisible Bridge. I hope my library gets a copy in soon (it is on order) as I'm really looking forward to reading it. I look forward to comparing notes with you on the rest of the long list.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-27559812472959919272011-03-17T06:28:00.014-04:002011-03-17T06:28:00.014-04:00I've only read Room and Tiger's Wife, but ...I've only read Room and Tiger's Wife, but both are worthy of the nomination IMO.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-12424995999307404702011-03-16T23:37:24.115-04:002011-03-16T23:37:24.115-04:00This was a fab wrap up and I need to read some mor...This was a fab wrap up and I need to read some more of these!

The Pleasure Seekers and The Invisible Bridge I have on order at the library, and a few others that the library doesn't have and I can't afford right now are calling but I'm trying not to think about them. I'll give pretty much anything listed the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time I do accept that some books may be great but not for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-67188587581123316772011-03-16T15:49:37.922-04:002011-03-16T15:49:37.922-04:00I've realized that I haven't read as much ...I've realized that I haven't read as much new, female literature in quite some time. Room was the only title I've completed on the list. I'm a little disappointed because I haven't found a single title, other than Room and Great House (which I already own), at any of the libraries for my county. I'm going to continue to check.
