I just finished reading The Girl With the Pearl Earring and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. I need suggestions on what to read next. These are ten books that I have in my personal library; suggestions are welcomed:

WeedWoman thought up this new mantra.  It totally works for me…
She and I have been having trouble with our biological mothers.  Well, to be more specific, WeedWoman has been having trouble with her biological mother; mine just sent me an email today, and that doesn’t technically qualify as “trouble.”
