Hoffman, Alice - Turtle Moon (I am working may way through her collection; I think I have 4 books to go. I am currently reading Blackbird House.)

What a great list of women writers. Although there are many books on there that I have read and loved, I must say you just HAVE to read "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. It is incredible.
Love the blog. Ran into it by accident!
I did this meme a few weeks ago too. Then I did one listing one significant book for each year of my life... that was challenging!
I love Alice Hoffman. I read Here on Earth, The River King and Second Nature. I love Kingsolver too - Poisonwood Bible is fantastic!
