I love the Lord Peter mysteries!

Tom Jones by Henry Fielding
Overall, a lengthy but relatively light read. It is straightforward and easier to understand than some classics and made me smile at times. I also found it a little repetitive at times but I'm glad that I've finally read it.

H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
Rating: 3 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

It's a nice book, but I'm not sure anyone really needs to read this one before they die.

[Debbie]

Agree. Very interesting, in-depth descriptions but not a 1001 need. Must be the quality of the writing not the subject.

[Jennifer W]

Last list book I read was The Optimist's Daughter. There's not much plot, but her writing is fantastic! Wish she had more books on the list. 4 stars.
