Finally, I will never feel guilty again for never having read Anna Karenina.  Funny.

Good new (to me) mystery series.  Definitely worth reading the second one.

Grrrr. Didn’t figure it out. I wasn’t even close.  LOL.

Sweet book. Terrible title IMHO.

Drivel with a completely implausible plot twist.

What a hilarious book with perfect illustrations by Garth Williams.

Lovely writing and lovely story.  I’m glad I did NOT know that Greer won a Pulitzer for it; I would have started out assuming it was going to be too hard.  It wasn’t.

Tear water tea.  Wow!!

Sweet but Frog and Toad are always the best.

I thought this was going to be one of those dystopian future novels, but it wasn’t at all.  If anything it’s 80′s nostalgia.  I lived through the 80s and I didn’t remember most of this stuff.  LOL

It’s hard to make a living as a travel writer.

I couldn’t put it down and I couldn’t bear to keep reading.  I kept expecting something really terrible to happen, which it didn’t.

Very cool description of how E.B. White came to write Charlotte’s Web.

I think this might be one of the greatest books of all times.  It is a perfect marriage of prose and illustration.  Absolutely lovely.

Interesting “living in the woods by himself” book.  I actually had to skip to the end to make sure he was going to make it....

Written in 1953, this story holds up amazingly well.  I had forgotten how snarky Miss Pickerell could be.
