Congrats to the winners.
On a personal note, I have always wanted to read Louise Erdrich and have never gotten around to her. Between this book's great reviews and having a student this semester who loves Erdrich, I think Round House might be the title that gets me moving on that front.
I just finished "The Round House." It was my first book by Erdrich, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't think I would, but I did.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear. I just put a hold on the audio myself.
