Aisle Twelve

    Thanks to Bookstagram, I was inspired to do more reading than I have since I was young.  As I look back to review them all, I realize just how many good books I read this year.  I hope 2017 brings as many beloved stories for me to enjoy. I will rate each book for a possible 5 stars. Rebecca , Daphne du Maurier ☆☆☆☆☆ I had no idea what to expect from this book, but it has quickly become one of my favorites.  The best way I can describe it is Downton Abbey meets Poldark meets Great Gatsby meets murder mystery.  It has love and intrigue.  This is a book that I see myself revisiting and recommending for years to come. The Nightingale , Kristin Hannah ☆☆☆☆☆ I can't recall many books that moved me as much as this one did.  The characters, the historical detail, the writing are all truly supurb.  You won't be able to put this book down, and when you do, you won't look at life the same way again. The Woman in White , Wilkie Collins ☆☆☆☆ 1/2 Th
