The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
5.0
Wow. What an amazing, sometimes heart-breaking and beautiful story. This is one of the best books I've ever read. My only piece of advice for potential readers is to keep a box of tissue handy. You will need it.
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs
I couldn't get into this book. The writing didn't engage me at all and I didn't give a hoot about any of the characters I was introduced to. It's going back to the library.
A Wee Christmas Homicide by Kaitlyn Dunnett
2.0
Couldn't get into this book so I didn't bother trying to finish.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
1.0
Could not get into the book at all. The writing felt too contrived. I didn't really care for most of the characters and I ended up skimming through more than half the book because I just wanted to see how it would end and the ending wasn't even satisfying. I'm pretty disappointed because I expected so much more after reading a lot of praise about this book.
Bellfield Hall: or, the observations of Miss Dido Kent by Anna Dean
4.0
I read this book in one night. I really enjoyed the fast pace and the characters. It was fun to read a mystery that takes place in 1805, solved by a 'spinster' whose intelligence is apparently a turn-off to most men.
Not going into detail in this review, just wanted to make a short notation of my enjoyment of the book.
