New Year's Resolution...

I've decided to read three books a month for my New Year's Resolution. So far, I have read...

A Crime in the Neighborhood by Suzanne Berne

I was reading about Berne's new book, A Ghost at the Table, and saw that she won the Orange Prize in 1999 for A Crime in the Neighborhood, so I thought I'd check it out. It was also compared with Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, but mainly, I feel, because it has a girl narrator.

Making Up for Lost Time

King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard
A "school" book.

Live at the Apollo (33 1/3 Series) by Douglas Wolk
Read a review in The Stranger.
