Women Who Read Are Dangerous
I thought the cover of this book was very appropriate.
I think Louisa would have enjoyed it too.
I so enjoyed reading everyones book suggestions on last week's post
that I feel it is only right to share them in one place.
I thought of organising them to perfection but have to admit
I am beyond that at the moment and am going to just list them for you.
Apologies in advance for any spelling errors.
You can find the person who suggested the book at my original post:

Hope you're going to bed with a good book. I'm just about to do the same ;-) Hmm - will take that list with me on my travels. Done the classics, but it might be good to get into a few of those I've missed out on in the last 15 years of French reading!
ReplyDeleteWOW Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteWhat a list. I'm going to print it off, so that I can take it with me when I go in search of a new read. What a brilliant post and a wonderful way to get some ideas for some good books. XXXX
Oh boy, I am printing this out to keep!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Wow what a list! I have copied and pasted it in my bookmarks. I am currently reading The Help. Good read so far. Now I have a huge list to choose when I am all finished!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover of that book too. I think that could be cool if you could print that off and hang it in the library or den, hmmmm! Might get in trouble with the whole copyright laws, but neat idea non the less.

ReplyDeleteDear Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteI do visit, but I don't leave comments. Not very charming de ma part, but to prove my admiration for your blog I have a little something for you chez moi.
I took notes from your book list. Thank you so much.
Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful list of suggestions! I've read many but there are some I must get to. I received your beautiful postcard today! I mailed yours last Monday. Thank you for participating in the postcard exchange.
