I have to replace Zorro by Isabel Allende. I will put in a book that I almost have finished (It's an historical story set in mideavel Barcelona), I'm really enjoying it. Title: Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones. I haven't registered it yet but will do this a.s.a.p. I won't take anything out this time because my pile of TBRs is still too big. As for a wish list, I'm happy right now to see what you offer, maybe later...

The "monster" clarifies the situation: "The Burn Farm" takes you behind the scenes of the scandal that rocked a quiet New England town, and into the twisted, depraved mind of a manipulative, cold-blooded murderer; whereas, "The Farm" is the real story of Richard Benson making it as a city-boy, but returning to the family farm when the going gets tough.
