Okay, so now it’s time to discuss one of my favorite novels, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. As usual, I’m finding it difficult to discuss a novel that I really, really like. Anyone else? The fact that Rebecca is an amazingly complex story makes writing a review all the more complex as well. One of…

I am so excited about our next Bookclub selection, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier! It’s one of my all time favorite novels and if you haven’t been reading, I hope you will grab a copy from the library or bookstore and join in—I think you’ll be glad you did! Mr. Linky will be up on…
Reasons to join the Everyone is Beautiful Bookclub
It’s not for bloggers only.
