Book 11

Sorry I was gone so long, but it was my birthday, and then I watched Arrested Development on DVD, and so on. But I have finished 3 more books!

Book 11 is Coming Home by Rosamunde Pilcher. It's a historical novel, telling the story of a girl named Judith and her coming of age during WWII. It's one of my "comfort" books-I have read it many times, and I can slip into it anytime I want and just relax and be at home with a familiar story and charaters that are like friends.

One of the main things I love about the book is that it takes place mostly in Cornwall, England, a place I have always wanted to visit. This book just makes me want to go there more-the descriptions in this book are top notch, very vivid. 

This is probably very close to a top ten book for me. Why? Evocative descriptions, a historical setting, and a main character I can relate to and like.
