Favorite Book of the Month:
Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas
Least Favorite:
Nothing was dreadful this month. Shattered Dreams did get on my nerves about two-thirds of the way through, so I'd have to pick this memoir of a polygamous marriage as my least favorite. Still, it was interesting.

I love your reading blog. It's inspiring me to create my own reading blog. I'm debating between doing a general reading blog or a poetry blog.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like When the Emperor Was Divine! I look forward to when you read it!
