This list was shorter than last year. I think quilting took a lot of my spare time that is usually spent on reading. I put stars by the ones I really enjoyed. I would NEVER recommend Ladder of Years to anyone. It was such a pointless book. (Same author who wrote The Accidental Tourist.)
Are there any recommendations for books to read this year? I just finished a book about an American woman who survived almost 10 years in the Russian Gulag and loved it. I am thinking about reading the history of the Gulag....any other suggestions?
