The Time Traveler's Wife 1675 reviews Audrey Niffenegger
Harvest Books, 2004
Best Book I've read in a LONG time
+ Loved it!

George and Lennie are two workers that move from job to job. George is small and ...

Case Histories: A Novel 145 reviews Kate Atkinson
Back Bay Books, 2005
A great story filled with interesting characters
+ Much easier to read than I thought + A read-again book
