I would rate them all with 5 stars, not caring about a special category, because they made me feel good, or moved me, or broke my heart, in their own different way. I hope you get to Elizabeth and her German garden, I'll try too !IzaBzhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928164883897873147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870240252493509339.post-82570684559369012522021-01-21T19:43:13.241+01:002021-01-21T19:43:13.241+01:00I have a hard time rating books, at times, especia...I have a hard time rating books, at times, especially when I try to look at old books with the eyes of the present day.
