I read Zoya by Danielle Steel in '88 and even though it is an historical fiction which I'm not a fan of (only read it because it was by Steel) it is still at the top of my all time favorites. I read Johnny Got His Gun in '72 and it is still in my head because it was about a soldier being terribly maimed in WW1. I can't believe it was required reading for Jr. High!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974471357928655315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-73165314469996722032022-01-15T16:29:57.987-08:002022-01-15T16:29:57.987-08:00Iliana, she has written quite a few books, some of...Iliana, she has written quite a few books, some of which I really enjoyed.

I can remember bits and pieces and remember that I loved them, but I'd be hard pressed to tell you much about the characters and the plot. Guess that's what makes rereading so enjoyable. :) Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-28183174819587928802022-01-14T08:27:56.315-08:002022-01-14T08:27:56.315-08:00I do like the premise of this book but I'll gi...I do like the premise of this book but I'll give it a pass based on your review. I am curious what The Great Mysterious scrapbook was all about. I guess it will remain a mystery.
