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 :)
