VAL'S READING LIST & LINKS

This is my personal reading list. Yes, it is very long! This list has been compiled mostly from award-winning book lists, as well as recommendations from other members in my book club. Because I am Canadian, I am especially interested in Canadian writers (surnames in CAPITALS).
It is my hope that I can get feedback on some of these titles. Did you like the writing, story lines, and characters? E-mail Val!
