[Becky ♡The Bookworm♡]

Hi Everyone!

My November roll didn't go as planned...

41321> kept 1's
11225> kept 1's again
11355> Used CHANCE.

...but I ended up with a GREAT book! I read:


Jane Steele by Faye Lindsay |★★★★★| Nov 3

This was a spin on Jane Eyre that had me glued to my e-reader! I wasn't sure where the author was going with the story in the beginning or if she was going to stay strictly with the original story, but I quickly fell into the plot and LOVE what she's written! It's unique, with a dark edge to it and so well written that I was throughly engaged in the story. It's a great read!

I just had to share. It was recommended to me by GR's friend, Rachel Joy. Thanks, Rachel!

[Fran, Moderator]
