Museum of Human beings seems like a book I should read.
My find!
Boy in Striped Pajamas is really moving! I have the Mr Whicher book on my TBR lsit as well.
You have won a box of books on my blog! Come see! I hope at least one of them will have been a Friday Find in the past, or at least something on your wishlist.
Forgive Me is an amazing book!
Thanks for stopping by and entering my Astro Socks giveaway!
I'll be interested to see what you think of Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Mr. Whicher. Some good choices there! :-)
Dear Gautami Tripathy,
Very kind of you to mention my novel Museum of Human Beings (McBooks, Nov. 2008), the story about what happened to Sacagawea's baby son. Please visit www.museumofhumanbeings.com for background info, reviews, readings and video clips.
