Ellen Foster ***

I found myself really cheering for this little girl who knows what she wants. Ellen makes the best of the sad truth she lives, and despite all odds, hopes for love and belonging, and finds it.

Very quick read, finished it in 2 days while traveling.

Very endearing story and orphan girl...

One thousand Gifts *****

by Ann Voskamp
Beautiful… biblical thanksgiving…. it’s a pleasure to turn to a remarkably gifted writer who poetically describes God’s grace in big things and small. Words that were music to my soul...
This is simply the most well written book I’ve read in a long time.
A must read and reread...

The Art of Racing in the Rain ***

Garth Stein.

Great story form a dog's point of view...
Kinda heart wrenching.
Adult themes

The books of Bayern ****

BY Shannon Hale

I just finished the last of the series; forest born, loved it!
I really enjoyed these books.
My favorite was the last one and the second one. Great stories, places and characters. Has the right amount of romance, action and magic.
I liked that you did not  loose track of the original characters throughout the different books.

Great for teens!!!

A Christmas present from Alexi.
A good work of fiction about one person trying to make a difference in another's less fortunate life. Sometimes it is not enough to save a life...
