Date started challenge & book #1: 10th July 2010

#1- #3 The Bronze Horseman Trilogy (The Bronze Horseman, The Bridge to Holy Cross, The Summer Garden)
Paullina Simons
Genre: Historical romance- WWII
Pages: 637                                        


This is definitely the best historical romance I've read, and I have read quite a few.

#5- Tully
Paullina Simons
Pages: 656

This is definitely a must read. It just amazes me how much emotions and spirit can be in a novel. Like all Paullina Simons's novels, this is one about life, real life, and choices that we face, as a teenager, a young woman, an adult and a mother. The main character is extremely flawed, and some of her actions makes me hate her at some stages, but that is what makes the book so real and the emotions so true...
