I really like your list so far. What did you think of The Innocent Man, The Keep and Thirteenth Tale? They are all on my TBR list. I might be interested in Three Cups of Tea also, but I've not read anything about it yet.
Read on!

The Innocent Man was a great book, I don't want to give anything away, it was shocking, sad, at times I would just shake my head in disgust but I am very glad I read it, a lot to discuss at bookclub. The Keep was good - at times I was a little lost in the story line, but I love a good ghost story, especially involving castles, murder and ghosts. The Thirteenth I really loved this book. The gothic atmosphere, the main characters are deep and mysterious. I could not put this book down and was surprised to the very end. My bookclub that meets in person is reading this book in May - it will be interesting to see what they all think. A friend of mine tried to read it and just couldn't get through it - so I will be anxious to hear your thoughts.

Three Cups of Tea was good; maybe not as good as I thought; I wasn't sure what to expect; but Greg who wrote the book has accomplished some amazing things and meet some amazing people; I was very impressed with that.
