Willa Hi Tara,

I'm happy to have you as a Goodreads friend! Don't know how often I'll get around to adding to the list, but I've read a no. of books on yours and agree with you on some but not others. For example, I loved Memory Keeper's Wife, but got really annoyed at Bel Canto. Didn't care much for Red Tent. Felt about the same as you about Water for Elephants, couldn't see why it was such a big hit.

Anyway, looking forward to sharing lists!

Willa
