1 June so the beginning of the 20 Books of Winter reading challenge which this year is being hosted by Anna(Book)Bel. I really enjoyed participating in the challenge last year so I am looking forward to this year now as well.
Here's my current list, subject to change of course.
Charlie's Last Angel by Maggie Christensen
Secrets of the Italian Guesthouse by Sue Moorcroft
Escape to the Turquoise Seas by Carrie Walker
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J Ryan Stradal
The Three Juliets by Minnie Darke
The Kings Jewel by Elizabeth Chadwick
The Story Collector by Evie Woods
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
The Maid by Nita Prose
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
The Little Porto Book Club by Rebecca Raisin
The Palace of Lost Virtue by Anthea Hodgson
The Couples Retreat by Mercedes Mercier
The Secret Dressmaker by Jenny O'Brien
The Nile Cruise by Caroline James
The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
First-time Caller by B K Borison
Seascraper by Benjamin Wood
Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevens
Careful, He Might Hear You by Sumner Locke Elliott
I have shared my reasons for picking each of these in recent Top 10 Tuesday posts which you can read here and here.
Happy reading everyone!
Funny, I put one of Chadwick's books on my list too although haven't read her for more than 20 years! I read First-Time Caller recently, which I enjoyed, and chose The Frozen River for my library's one-book community read. They are supposed to put our discussion with the author online but it is not there yet (maybe by the time you read it). You introduced me to Minnie Darke (she reminds me a bit of Maeve Binchy) but that one does not seem to be in my library system. I liked The Maid but not enough to read more in the series. War and Peace is heavy going but I read it after seeing a pretty good BBC miniseries some time ago. Happy Reading!
