Ooshie Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I'm impressed by how organised you are with your planning - I never know what I'm going to read next unless it's a book for the Reading Circle or the reading challenges I take part in. I like your idea of marking re-reads, I might steal that from you! Quote

Roland Butter Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies is worth a read. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I would also suggest The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan for a great story set in Wales. Quote
