 | On Hitler's Mountain: My Nazi Childhood by Irmgard Hunt
Buy used from: £0.73 A really interesting account of the war story seldom told, that of the German people.
|
 | Jane Eyre (Collector's Library) by Charlotte Bronte
Buy new: £4.76 / Used from: £2.98 Probably my favourite book of all time. No tv or film adaptation does it justice.
|
 | Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 Absolutely epic novel. Outrageously ambitious but pulls it off brilliantly. Also recommended are London and The Forest.
|
 | To Kill a Mockingbird (Vintage Classics) by Harper Lee
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £2.50 Simply stunning.
|
 | A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson
Buy used from: £1.33 I found it hard to choose a Bryson as I love most of them. This just won over Notes From A Small Island.
|
 | Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £1.49 I think this is the only book that has made me cry so much I had to stop reading. You will never forget the horrid pictures that are painted within it's pages. They never should be forgotten.
|
 | Back Home (Puffin Books) by Michelle Magorian
Buy new: £5.21 / Used from: £0.01 Better than Goodnight Mr Tom.
|
 | The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.01 The best new book I have read this year.
|
 | The Smoke Jumper by Nicholas Evans

|
 | Homecoming (Tillerman Cycle) by Cynthia Voigt
Buy used from: £25.24 Gosh how I loved this story as a teenager. Reading it as an adult there are so many layers that went over my head before.
|
 | Witch Child by Celia Rees
Buy used from: £0.01 I though this was very well written.
|
 | The Queen and I by Sue Townsend
Buy used from: £0.01 Hilarious, if a little dated now. Better than Adrian Mole, in my humble opinion.
|

Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 The most honest autobiography I have ever read.
|
 | The Kingdom by the Sea by Robert Westall

|

Buy used from: £0.01 I'm not pregnant but I thoroughly enjoyed this, and can see that it would be very useful if I was.
|
 | The Secret Island by Enid Blyton
Buy used from: £14.99 Possibly my favourite book as a child. I know she's not P.C. now but I don't care.
|

Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.01 My favourite Discworld. I love Granny Weatherwax!
|

Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.99 My favourite Dickens.
|

Buy used from: £0.08 In my opinion this trilogy is the best re-telling of the Arthurian stories ever written.
|

Buy used from: £0.01 It just gets better...
|
