All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot

LOVE the entire series of books recounting the career of a country vet in Scotland in the early to mid 1900's. Each chapter is a new story, each one funny and amazing. It almost makes me want to go to Scotland and see if it's as friendly and beautiful as Herriot says it is. And the fact that this is autobiographical makes it even better!-Jennifer N.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

I would actually give this book 4.5 stars if that was an option. This was a very good, gripping read. It is a historical fiction novel that takes place during World War II and is about a group of prisoners that Stalin takes and ships off to Siberian labor camps--it is a fight for survival story. Some might find this book slightly hard to follow initially . . . but it became one that I could not put down!
