Laura Ingalls Wilder, West from Home. This is a series of letters written by Laura Ingalls Wilder to her husband when she visited San Francisco in 1915. It's kind of a reread ... although I haven't read it in years. It's a good read, and you could see the beginnings of her writing style.
Joan Overfield, A Christmas Affair. Another reread - and a fun one, too. Good characters, good love story, not too over-cliched in plot.
Anne Perry, Shoulder the Sky. This is the second in Perry's World War I series. I kind of liked it ... but then, I kind of didn't. It was less dense than her Victorian novels, but the same kind of preachiness, the same kind of overarching conspiracy plot (my least favorite kind of plot ever), and a lot less of it. The murder was incidental to the descriptions of battlefields and why they were awful. I really don't feel any great interest in reading the rest of the series.
Monique Raphel High, The Four Winds of Heaven. Another reread - a grand historical epic about a family in revolutionary Russia filled with interesting characters. A little soap opera-y, but aren't they all. One of my favorites.
