pickThis was so depressing but it also felt true. The family was a nightmare. Parts of this felt like overreaching. The Author described the landscape well.
pickSet amidst the revolution in China shifting the country out of its last dynasty, Peach Blossom Paradise follows the arc of the life of Xiumi, focusing a great deal on her childhood, then following her forward as she becomes a revolutionary, though in a more quiet way than I usually think of that word. This is based on real people and events. I liked it quite a bit.

so-soMay be an unpopular opinion, but while I loved the story, it was sooooooo drawn out for me.
pickMy January #doublespin! I've had this book on my shelf forever, and even though I've seen the movie, I was surprised how much I liked this book. I'll admit that I find the relationship between Michael and Hanna "icky"...yet I couldn't put this book down.
pickI did not expect to enjoy this book, but I was immediately hooked. What a great coming of age story!
so-soI have not read a book by Hannah in years and years. The Four Winds is set during the Great Depression and dust bowl years. It is a hard, harrowing tale about a piece of American history that I haven‘t read much about. Even though it put me through the wringer I was mostly on board until the end. If it had been a physical book I would have thrown it across the room. Sorry for my unpopular opinion. #NewYearWhoDis
