So, it feels like a thousand years ago that I gave away copies of MONDAY’S LIE in exchange for reading assignments from the winners. But really it was only January.
Life rather shook things up, so the timeline of the original read-a-thon was, well, blown up. I am, however, completing my assigned reading as I can. It’s great fun. I love this contest and the books it leads me to.
I can mark off another on the list, LITTLE BEE, by Chris Cleave
This book was hugely successful and there is no mystery to its fate. It’s beautiful.
It’s the story of a Nigerian refugee who stows away from hell on earth in a shipping container bound for England. Adrift as an undocumented alien, Little Bee seeks out the British couple whose one and only interaction with her on a beach in Nigeria changed the lives of all the players forever.
Stunning, funny, insightful, and heart-breaking, LITTLE BEE is simply amazing.

Hooray! When do you get to my book? Rendezvous with Rama?
HI again! I did, in fact, start RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA, and suffered an avalanche of stuff that made my reading of it very patchy. I set it aside for a while, because I want to be in the right mood for it.
Currently, it’s third in line no my To Be Read list!
