I adore books. I have a Kindle but it’s astonishing how many times I buy the book, rather than the e-version. And I have too many, at least when I move house!
I adore Ann Patchett. I want to visit her bookshop- it helps that I also want to visit Nashville. So I’m reblogging this for all such reasons, but mostly I’m reblogging this post because I wanted to send the list to all my friends…and this is an easy way to do it!
I’ve read The Cuckoo’s Calling and I liked it a lot. I know Jon Scieszka from his retellings for children- “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, told by A. Wolf”, “The Frog Prince Continued” and others. They are hilarious and clever.
I plan to read several of these titles and I’d really like to hear if you have read some already, or your response to any you do read.

I love Ann Patchett. She is one of my top five favorite authors. I think her opening an independent bookstore in Nashville is marvelous.
I’m so glad to discover a fellow fan! She is not only a fabulous (in the true meaning of the word) writer, but a great person. Have you read the blog by the dogs of the bookshop? a hoot!
Who are your other favourites?
Sorry to take so long to catchup with this e-mail … Anne Patchett – I’ll check the Library ext time I’m there. A treat in store, no doubt.
