SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady
Just another GR refugee. Other than that, I had a stroke in 2004, and read almost anything I can get my hands on, though I have a particular weakness for history, mystery, and historical fiction.

July Roundup
Best read: Someone Knows My Name, by Lawrence Hill.
Biggest history wonk book: July Crisis: The World's Descent into War, Summer 1914.
The rest were mysteries: a historical by Gary Corby (great fun), three by Louise Penny (what a discovery!), and a classic by Agatha Christie.
No fives this month, but also nothing under a three. The average was four stars, and I'll take that!
