Classics that I loved: To Kill a Mockingbird, North and South

Favorite non-fiction: Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies

It was my slowest year yet for the Classics Club Challenge, but I managed to check off five titles from my list: Gaskell's Cranford and North and South, The Great Gatsby, Pilgrim's Progress and To Kill a Mockingbird.
I managed to get in my 8 mysteries from the Cozy Mystery Challenge.
Goodreads has a fun app that shows all the covers of the books I read in 2016.
Looking forward to more good reading in 2017!

I always enjoy your reviews. Thanks for sharing your reading with me, Hope!
I agree that Jamie Langston Turner is one of the best contemporary Christian authors I've found. You might also enjoy Dale Cramer or Athol Dickson.
It was your review of Betsy-Tacy that caused me to buy that book soon after I read about it on your blog, and it is sitting on my shelf nearby right now. I haven't opened it yet, but it occurs to me that it would be a good one for this month, when I am going through some kind of transitional time in my reading, and feeling overwhelmed by all my stacks. I need something short and easy, but good quality :-) Thanks, Hope.
