My Review of Christy: 4 stars
Such an uplifting read. Reminds me of "Anne of Green Gables" in its episodic format that carried more the feel of a life than a traditional story arc. I was fascinated by the way that the author put philosophical conversations in the character's mouths ...

Review: Scarlett, by Alexandra Ripley
My Review of Scarlett: 5 Stars
WOW. So very very satisfying. When I finished GWTW I absolutely had to get this one for some closure (and I read other people's reviews to make sure I would get it... I'd have been *pissed* if this one ended sad or on a cliffhanger too!) But it ...

Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins
My Review of The Girl on the Train: 5 stars
