I have just a moment to write the books I read in Spring (excuse any typos!).I made most of my Spring Reading Challenge, just a few didn't get read. I added a lot, especially library books!
Those with an * are from the Spring Reading Challenge... While I liked most of them very much, those highlighted are books I HIGHLY recommend! Of course, all the Victoria books are wonderful so I won't bother highlighting them.
I'll list my Summer Challenge when I get a chance. :)

**I think The King's English would be much more appreciated by someone who reads a lot more fiction than I do. It is the story of The King's English bookstore and quite interesting. I just didn't get much out of it because I haven't read a fraction of the books she discussed...still an interesting book!
