I haven't read We Need to Talk About Kevin (and I haven't seen the movie either). I don't know if I can do it. <br /><br />I can't imagine reading My Sister's Keeper on an airplane. LOL. I finished reading it at home alone, but my husband came in right after and was like: What's the matter?--because I was sitting alone in the living room bawling--seriously bawling--my eyes out and he thought I was hurt or somebody (real) had died. <br /><br />Great list!Natalie @Natflix&Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738039522965794238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463855633465981220.post-86372933599499154202013-07-30T17:24:57.679+01:002013-07-30T17:24:57.679+01:00Glad I could make you smile.
