My latest literary acquirements to add to the stack of books I fear I may never get read:
I'm halfway through Enna Burning and LOVE IT! Hale's first book from this 3-book series, The Goose Girl, was also phenomenal. It's based off of a two-page Brothers Grimm fairy tail. I actually also bought that book to send my friend, Kelley, in England.
As a late birthday present I used a gift card to buy Hale's latest book, Book of a Thousand Days. It's another retold Brothers Grimm classic.
I did get a grown-up novel: The Kite Runner. I loved A Thousand Splendid Suns, even though I heard The Kite Runner is better, so I have high hopes for this one.
My final acquisition is The Tree: Wonder of the Natural World, pictured here in Spanish. I bought the English version, which I found in the bargain books section and only paid $8! It contains beautiful pictures that I would love to paint. Someday, I hope.
I LOVE BOOKS!!!

I liked SUNS better than KITE. I thought KITE was too dark.
Thanks for the comment Marie!
I haven't been able to start reading The Kite Runner yet -- it's been a very stressful 2 wks! But I hope to read it soon. I can't imagine liking it more than Suns, though.
