  4. Redeeming Love is one of my most favoritest books ever! *breathing* sorry, went a little fan-girl physcho there. But, truly, I adore Francine Rivers Christian books. Every one of them has changed me in some way.

    Hope you have a fantastic week reading!

  5. So sorry you didn't enjoy Zola. He is one of my all-time favorite authors, but I suppose he's not for everyone.

    happy reading!

  7. I've read all of Emile Zola (en francais) and I definitely agree with your review. Although his writing is superb and he brings his characters to life, I usually tend to find his books somewhat depressing. I loved Germinal but it was not for those looking for light reading and there were not a lot of happy moments in that book either. Alexandre Dumas I adore as well as Voltaire and a few others.

    I'm interested in My German Question and I've added it to my wish list. It sounds intriguing.

    Enjoy Graceling. I loved it!

    Have a great week!
