Challenge: 50 Books discussion

Started the year off with a great book!
1. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

I agree! This was about the best book I read last year. Hope the next 49 are as good for you.

Me too!

I loved that book!

For a book loaded with serious topics, it was never too heavy and managed to be charming as well.
