Sophie Kinsella

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2008

Another success!
I have yet to come across a Sophie Kinsella novel that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. They are light-hearted, sometimes silly, and fun. Remember Me? was not an exception to this. I read it when I was on vacation in Germany, and finished over 2 nights; I simply could ...

Pat Conroy

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2002

Great story! My first Pat Conroy book, but not my last.
This is my first Pat Conroy book. All of his books have great reviews on Amazon, so I wasn't sure which one to start with; I just picked this one. I think I made a very good choice by reading 'The Water Is Wide' first. It's an early book, and I got a lot of insight ...
