    My favorite book was Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. It is set in Seattle during WWII and is a sweet story between a Chinese boy and a Japanese girl.

    What was your least favorite book that you read this spring? Why?
    My least favorite book was The Art of Keeping Secrets by Patti Callahan Henry. This wasn’t a bad book, just not one of my favorites from this challenge.

    What was your favorite book that you read this spring?
    My favorite book was The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is set in Jackson, Mississippi during the civil rights movement. It was one of those books that I couldn’t put down until it was finished.

    What was your least favorite book that you read this spring? Why?
    My least favorite book was Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakof. It is set in Toccoa, Georgia during the summer of 1945. While it wasn’t a bad book, it just took me a while to really get into the story line.

    Overall, I finished most of the books on my list, except for one non-fiction and one fiction.
