2739405 #66- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 5/5

This was an amazing book!! It is too bad that it is Emily's only one, before she died! I thoroughly enjoyed this one! It will be going on my "To be read again" list!

2739405 #65- "Heart and Soul By Maeve Binchy 4/5

I have always really liked Binchy but this one was very dry and hard to settle into. I felt like Binchy was just throwing stuff out there just to meet a deadline at times, but wasn't really feeling the plot or characters at all. I was a bit disappointed in this one.

2739405 Thank you Merri and Andrea for the warm welcome! I am so glad to have found this great group.


message 6: by Joy (new)

2739405 I have to say Meghan...Moby took me AWHILE to get through. But I was determined to get it done...usually I can't say that I am "Proud" after reading a book, but I was relieved and proud when I finally closed that one for the last time. There are parts that draw you in, and parts that you sorta skim through...


message 5: by Meghan (new)

1929140 Welcome! And I must say, I'm pretty impressed that you really read Moby Dick. I put that up on my "Yeah, right" shelf.
