TBR Jar 2nd Round

Last month I failed to read either of my two picks. I read the first 20-30 pages and realized they were not going to be to my liking. I will be donating them. This month I've chosen two more books out of my TBR jar. They are:

Brick Lane by Monica Ali   (Goodreads rating of 3.39)


I bought this book several years ago at a garage sale. It's definitely time to read it or get it off my shelf.


Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson (Goodreads rating of 3.81)



I actually bought this within the last six months for $2 at a flea market. I've never seen the movie so if I like it, I'll probably watch the movie. Anyone who has seen it, is it any good?
