War and Peace (Vintage Classics) by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace (Vintage Classics)

AmyM, January 1, 2013

The best book I read this year; one of the best books I've read in any year. From the sweep of vast battles to the fleeting moments of recognition between two beautiful, flawed human beings -- and back again -- the stories Tolstoy captures on the page are as vivid as life itself.

Once upon a River by Bonnie Jo Campbell
Once upon a River

AmyM, January 1, 2012

Margo Crane is one of the most mesmerizing and memorable heroines in years, a free spirit who is nonetheless acutely aware of the realities of being a young woman trying to live life on her terms. Campbell's lyrical prose captures the rhythms of the Stark River for which the novel is named and carries readers to the story's satisfying conclusion.
