I've been dying to read The Lucy Variations. San Francisco is gorgeous, it's definitely a must-see city. 52 Reasons was such a cute book. Although really, LA isn't as nice as San Diego is! <br /><br />Lovely list, girly, and I hope you can come to the US sometime!Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193438255559880183.post-75175954436048391422013-08-14T07:10:57.717-07:002013-08-14T07:10:57.717-07:00Great topic!

(I may be biased lol) To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorites too...and if you're looking for more classics about the US similar to it, I'd suggest The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck (any of Steinbeck really, I adore him) and Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. :)SeeJennReadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269271869418911280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193438255559880183.post-26170029619270162322013-08-13T19:29:20.098-07:002013-08-13T19:29:20.098-07:0052 Reasons to Hate My Father was such a cute read....52 Reasons to Hate My Father was such a cute read.
