Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is THE<\/strong> LAST TEN BOOKS I HAVEN’T FINISHED!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have two shelves on Goodreads for books that I stop reading, abandoned and come back to. Abandoned books are just not for me, and I’m never going to finish them. Come back to books, on the other hand, I am definitely going to finish! (someday) Today’s list is only come back to books, because I really do want to finish them!<\/p>\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

The Torres sisters dream of escape. Escape from their needy and despotic widowed father, and from their San Antonio neighborhood, full of old San Antonio families and all the traditions and expectations that go along with them. In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window. A year later, her three younger sisters, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, are still consumed by grief and haunted by their sister\u2019s memory. Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach. But then strange things start happening around the house: mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls. The sisters begin to wonder if Ana really is haunting them, trying to send them a message\u2014and what exactly she\u2019s trying to say.   In a stunning follow-up to her National Book Award\u2013longlisted novel All the Wind in the World<\/i>, Samantha Mabry weaves an aching, magical novel that is one part family drama, one part ghost story, and one part love story.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
