38) Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor; Finished 9/22/13; A 900+ page book was probably not the best choice to read during the first few weeks of school while getting acclimated to teaching after summer break, but I finished it hours before the book would disappear from my Kindle and go back to eLibraryNJ. I had 2% left to go and I sure didn't see that ending (or any ending!) coming!

Review at http://www.historicalfictiononline.com/ ... post112131[/quote]

What a finish, I would have loved a sequel.
At home with a good book and the cat...

Did you mean to quote Forever Amber? If so, I would also have LOVED a sequel!

39) The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (really JK Rowling); This could be the start a detective series with Rowling's interesting protagonist Cormoran Strike.
