Fun to look back on lots of good books. I really need to read Goodnight Mister Tom, will put it on the list for next time I’m in the mood for children’s lit. Didn’t get on with Jane Harper’s Force of Nature, but loved the other two.

Goodnight Mister Tom is lovely and definitely one I want to read again. I was a bit disappointed with Force of Nature after the other two, and haven’t managed to get past the beginning of The Survivors yet.

Wonderful book memories Nicki. Seeing Charity Norman on your list reminds me that I’d love to read more of her work. Sadly there is only one title of hers in Kindle format on Amazon.ca and I’ve already read it.
