To read my reviews of the books that I’ve read, please visit my book reviews blog, Crescent Moon Book Reviews, and also BCF - The Reviews!
Cool, Sarah! I want to read some of these as well. For some reason I have been lazy on the Forum, avoiding the Reviews section in favor of lighter chatter. I bet I’m missing out on some good insights, many being yours, for books that deserve a chance! It is nice to have another American perspective on good literature.
–Stay the Course until Christmas Break!

What about Catcher in the Rye?
I read it in high school (duh) and I could see myself reading it again, but I don’t have it! Buy it for me!
