To celebrate this year’s World Book Day, I thought I’d share some of my favourite reads of the past ten years.

I’ve read a few of these, but I didn’t know you loved The Possible World so much. I’ve got that one on my Kindle and it’s long overdue to be read.

I’ve read 4 (Ove, Crawdads, Help, Forgotten Garden)….. I could add Invention of Wings, News of the World, Guernsey, and A Place For Us to this list! ….and so many more! It’s agonizing to restrict myself to a list!

I agree Carol. There were countless more I could have included. “Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine”, “Missing, Presumed”, “Beartown”, “The storied life of A.J. Fikry”, “Tin Man”, “The blackhouse”, etc. (To name just a few)
