So instead of reading 'new' books this summer, I'm re-reading old one's that I remember reading years ago. There are really only a few that I recall, but I remember them being really good reads (at the time) so I'm going to revisit them and see if they're just as good!
They are;
Lace by Shirley Conran.My first real bonkbuster!9 many moons ago....)
The Angel in the Corner by Monica Dickens. I first bought this about 30 odd years ago from a book stall at a village fete on holiday,but when I got home,I discovered that every other page was blank!! I was gutted. Managed to find a copy that looked exactly the same on ebay so looking forward to that!
Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman.Went on holiday as a babysitter with a close family friend and couldn't put it down.
September by Rosamund Pilcher.
A Farewell to France by Noel Barber.I used to work in a hardware shop on a Sunday morning and it was deadly boring and I remember reading this while I was there and I loved it. I couldn't remember the title of it and have been wracking my brains for ages before thinking that it may have the word 'Farewell' in it and a picture of a house on the front. So I just typed 'Farewell' into the ebay search bar and there it was;I only found it today and I nearly cried!!
