I've been wanting to read Caine's series for a while. Strange Planet sounds great too!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm looking forward to finally reading it! Strange Planet was great!
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI read The Five a while back and absolutely loved it. I love the depth the author brought to the lives of these women, and how she found every last bit of information she possibly could on them. It has always been frustrating to me that all we know of them is what HE did to them, and her book does a marvelous job placing the attention where it truly belongs.
Here is my post for the week. Happy reading!
