Oh My Stars

Landvik9_05.jpgWe’ve had some great suggestions for this month’s Convince Us. This time we asked for books that made you cry on the el. We had a lot of great suggestions (we second “A Prayer for Owen Meany”), and we're glad to see we’re not the only ones weeping over the written word.

We decided on “Oh My Stars” by Lorna Landvik. The book was suggested by Curmudgeon, who awhile back suggested we read some Trevanian. We read “The Eiger Sanction” and loved every minute of it, so we’re going to see if we can hit it again with “Oh My Stars”.

We’ll read it and post our review at the end of the month. Feel free to check it out this month as well, and let us know what you think of our review at the end of the month.
