Maureen!!

Two things: I am so jealous that you read all of that in one month!!! When do you find time to read???

Also, you read Agatha Christie?!?!? I LOVE Christie!

Well, I read very fast, so that helps. Actually, it was a fairly bad year for me in terms of reading.

I love Christie, but I've read almost every book she ever wrote, which means that I've had to turn elsewhere for my mystery fixes. (Notably Dorothy Sayers and Ngaio Marsh.)

How was 'The Goose Girl'? That's by the author of 'Princess Academy', right?

MaureenE said...

VB, I loved it! It was so much better than the Princess Academy, IMO. The writing was just beautiful, and the story was so well done. I'm not saying the Princess Academy was bad, but Goose Girl is much better.

Valerie said...

I'll have to look for it then! I enjoyed Princess Academy, so this sounds great.

VB, I'd definitely recommend it.
