Lots of fab books on your list, and lots that I probably need to add to my TBR list! I really liked Unbroken, Wildflower Hill and Glass Castle.

You read some amazing books last year.
ReplyDeleteHere is my last Sunday Salon for the year.
I love Jeanette Windle's books. I have always enjoyed how she has so much adventure and mystery in her stories. Her older books were all set in South America. In her most recent book "Veiled Freedom" and "Freedom's Stand" the setting changes to Afghanistan.
