  1. All of these look really interesting. The Deadly Sisterhood looks particularly good. I am fascinated by the history of this period and this one looks to be so interesting.

  2. The Perfume sounds like an interesting read, as does Deadly Sisterhood. I'm just in the process of loading Cry The Beloved Country onto my iPod for listening. It's an older book, but I've only just now discovered it.

    Happy Reading! It's looks like your week is off to a great start.
