  1. Glad I could give you some great recommendations, especially Tunnel 29 – I think you’ll love that one! Eat Joy is a really lovely and touching read, and The Sound of Gravel is by far one of my favorite memoirs. Excited to hear what you think when you get to them! 🙂

    I can also second those recommendations for A Woman of No Importance, Highway of Tears, and The Woman Who Wasn’t There – all of those were fantastic!

  2. Good idea to include picks from each week. I just made some random selections but my list could have been much longer! The Woman They Could Not Silence is on mine too, I really need to read that ASAP. Thanks so much for being a host and I’m already looking forward to next year.

  3. What great additions! I’m not posting on this one till Friday, when I’ve read everyone else’s, just in case I’ve missed something. Hope the Linky will remain open until then.
