Reading
List for
Women's Book Club of Sarajevo
Karin has been
involved with this book club since it started in December 1999. Members of
the group -both locals and foreigners -take turns selecting a book which the
whole group reads. Once a month the group gets together to discuss the
book and "rate" it on a scale from 1 to 10. Here is the list of
books we've read, each with the averaged rating from the group.
