The Bloodletter's Daughter: A Novel of Old Bohemia
by Linda Lafferty

Blood Letter (9/12/2012)

I thourghly enjoyed this book, the building of the characters, how they all seemed independant of each other but relied heavily on one another. Each person had an entirely different view on each other and how they could use each other for their own advancement. Great Book, …more

A Land More Kind Than Home: A Novel
by Wiley Cash

Snakes (3/17/2012)

I rather enjoyed this book. The depth of the characters was revealed as the book continued on. The book appealed to me because I grew up in a very small town where everyone knew everyone. And everyone's business!

Losing Clementine: A Novel
by Ashley Ream

Loosing Clementine (2/17/2012)

I enjoyed this book, very much. Clementine, has much to deal with, her life is much like many of us, confused, painful, often lonely. We find comfort in the most unlikely places as did Clementine. I'm looking froward to more books from this author.

Three Weeks in December
by Audrey Schulman

Three weeks in December (12/26/2011)

I enjoyed this book very much, the writing flowed it was easily read and followed, and I love how you didn't know how the two main characters were related until the very end. I would not recommended to all due to the homosexuality.

Arcadia: A Novel
by Lauren Groff

Arcadia (12/6/2011)

I could not connect with any of the characters in this book, I found it very difficult to read.
