I want to read Roots soon!
Sorry you didn't manage to finish Tess of the D'Urbervilles. I had to read that for class and I actually enjoyed it. I will get around to that Sherman Alexie book soon! (It's been on my TBR list for forever.) And I'm also interested in reading Roots.
I'm stealing this for my blog. Thank you. =)
