    Re: Sam's Tbr

    Keeping Faith - Jodi Picoult    I think this might have been a Book Circle read last year...I didn't really like it - not a huge fan of JP

    Sula - Toni Morrison    Read this years ago and thought it was very good

    The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison    Same as above, but I thought this was better

    The Apple - Michel Faber    Tried to read this but didn't get very far with it...didn't like TCPATW

    Emma - Austen    Love all Jane Austen's books

    Sense and Sensibility - Austen    Ditto

    Mansfield Park - Austen    And again

    Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy    I guess this is depressing, but wonderful all the same (and nowhere near as depressing as Jude!)

    Jane Eyre - Bronte    TBR

    Company of Liars - Karen Maitland    TBR

    The Story of Forgetting - Stefan Merril Block    I read about this somewhere a while ago, and thought I quite fancied it
