 | The Far Pavilions by Mary Margaret Kaye
Buy new: £10.46 / Used from: £0.01 My favourite ever! So well thumbed I need a new copy. Brilliant tale of adventure & love in India & a history lesson! Bit slow at first. I am sure I would fall in love with Ash if he were real!
|
 | How Green Was My Valley (Penguin Modern Classics) by Richard Llewellyn
Buy new: £7.11 / Used from: £1.82 Or is this one my no 1? I can see the story played out in my minds eye so descriptive without being flowery. A lovely read & another (semi) history lesson. Another I reach for time & time again.
|
 | The Copper Beech by Maeve Binchy
Buy new: £3.49 / Used from: £0.01 I love Maeve Binchys books. I think this is the best of the lot (so far). I really feel for all of the characters some I love, some I hate & some make me cry.
|
 | Evening Class by Maeve Binchy
Buy new: £3.47 / Used from: £0.01 Takes you further afield than the usually sleepy Irish backwater with none of the previous history between the characters. You still get the typical Binchy "glow" when reading it.
|
 | The Negotiator by Frederick Forsyth
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Not my favourite book of his but the only book that has physically made me jump during the story. Ive told friends and family to read it because of that. Guess what? They jumped too.
|
 | To Serve Them All My Days by Ronald Frederick Delderfield
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £0.01 From the trenches of WWI to becoming a history teacher in a public school where David Powlett-Jones starts as a fish out of water and his journey through to the late 30s. A smile & a tear every time!
|
 | The Return of the Naked Chef by Jamie Oliver
Buy used from: £3.10 Splattered with ingredients a sure sign its used a lot. Gave me a load of new ideas. Better than the first book.
|
 | Martin Johnson Autobiography by Martin Johnson
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 What a man! A few other so called sporting icons should read this to learn humility and what a true sporting icon looks and feels like.
|
 | The House at Pooh Corner (Winnie the Pooh) by A.A. Milne
Buy used from: £0.01 If only life was this simple. Its when you reread this as an adult you realise the story reflects the characters we see all about us.
|
 | Silly Verse for Kids (Puffin Books) by Spike Milligan
Buy new: £3.44 / Used from: £0.01 Still silly and fun as a grown up.
|
 | The Ring by Danielle Steel
Buy used from: £0.50 Get out the kleenex. If I want a howl any Danielle Steel does it for me - this is the one that started it all for me. Also good for numbing the brain or reading if you have a hangover!
