I really don’t like this first installment of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood story, but it’s important to read to grasp the full meaning of the Divine Secrets…novel.

Another essential look at race as a social contruct in America.

I skipped parts of this book because it got too boring.

Sadly, it isn’t as good as Little Women, but-thankfully!-it’s not as bad as Jo’s Boys.

A classic that I loved as a pre-teen.

I absolutely hate this book. The plot is so predictable and boring. I do not understand how this one could be a classic.

I simply got bored with this one. Eventually, I will finish it.

This book interested me, but I simply never finished. Eventually, I will.

A gritty look at war in hostile land.

I admit it: the last couple of chapters had me crying like a baby. This is such a touching and moving (obviously) novel.
