Peony in Love, by Lisa See


This was the third book by  Lisa See I have read and it was by far my least favorite.  I mostly enjoyed her other books, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Shanghai Girls, because they discussed a culture and a time period that I was unfamiliar with and I really enjoyed learning more about it.  Peony in Love was just a much more unconventional story and I never felt like it really came together.

the beginning

As a Young Adult Librarian, I read a lot of books.  Some I like, some I don't, some I'm indifferent about.  People are often asking me about what I'm reading, and I like keeping track for myself to help remember something I loved or what that book about presidential assassinations was called.  I hope to use this blog to introduce people to new books that they may love or genres that they haven't tried before.  And I love feedback, so if anyone wants to submit a guest book review, I am all about that.  Interesting bits of news about books or movies being made out of books or authors I really like may find their way here as well.  Let's get on with it, shall we?
