#25/25 My Antonia by Willa Cather
Nebraska plains life in the late 1800's. Story about a young girl from Bohemia that immigrated there & her struggles to survive the hard life there.
Very good, I did not realize this was the last book in the Great Plains Trilogy, but I believe they could all be stand alone books.

#32 The Housemaid's Watching by Frieda McFadden. Third book in a series. Was so-so, but good.

#36 - The Memory Jar; first book in the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series by Tricia Goyer.
Genre - Inspirational

An Amish girl in Montana that excels in baking meets an Amish bachelor that secretly also loves to bake. I give it a 3/5, not sure yet if I will continue with the series.

We had to read that book when I was in 8th grade. I think I might read this book again. My grandfather's family is from Bohemia.

I knew it was a classic but had never read it. When I saw it stacked crookedly on the shelf, I had to pick it up. Anytime I see a book "out of place" at the library I feel like it is put there for me to check out, lol.

The Client - by John Grisham - 4.5/5

I was just wandering around the library, looking for something to read, when I came across this book. I read it quite a few years ago and decided to read it again. This is a thrilling page turner which I had trouble putting down. I've read a few of John Grisham's books and this one is my favorite. I think the fact that it includes an 11-year-old boy in the story makes it more interesting.
