Have You Read?




This post is for my friend Lisa in New Zealand.
She wrote to say she is looking for a good book and 
remembered a post of mine a few months back and could not find it.
As always, I was delighted to hear from her and very happy to post again.

Here is a list of books suggested by readers who entered my first giveaway.

Wherever you may be in the world, I hope you find something here to 
entertain and delight you this summer/winter :)

  5. Well Jeanne, I thought I read quite a lot, but I'm at once dismayed and excited by the number of titles here that I've never seen.

    At least now I know how I'll be filing my summer.
    Thank you!
