Wow - I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns, and while I didn’t cry I feel quite exhausted by the power of that novel. It’s heart breaking and angering and heart warming all at the same time. If you’ve not read it yet please get hold of a copy as soon as you can. It is one of those books that everyone needs to read. Here’s my review.
I’m off to catch up with some other readers and choose my second book - I think something light is called for after that epic - perhaps a YA.

You are doing great. A Thousand Splendid Suns was a great book. I enjoyed it even more than Kite Runner. I will have to check back to see which YA book you chose. Have fun!
Yay, Claire. You finished a book AND wrote a review already?!?! Way to go, girl!

Great job! I agree, something light is definitely needed after a book like A Thousand Splendid Suns.
