Geez ... there's a new Flavia Albia! I totally missed that!!!

[leesa_perrie]

Glad to be of help! I'd suggest reading it next, but then I do so love her books! :D

Knowing how much you love animals I had to smile at your list of books read :)

I haven't read any of those books

[leesa_perrie]

I'd recommend most of them. I wasn't as keen on 'True and Incredible Stories of a Horse Vet' or 'Vet in the Vestry', though I think that was more a writing style thing for me and you might like them more.

I'd avoid 'A Parcel of Rogues' if I was you. It was a tiresome book that really didn't work for me. Only reason I finished it was because it's a whodunnit and I wanted to know who had done it!

And lol, animals? Moi? Surely you've got that wrong?! :D :D :D

Well done, Leesa! I'm surprised you managed to find a book for every square.

=Amber's Donkey by Julian and Tracy Austwick=

I've just bookmarked this and 2 other donkey books. I'm trying to cut down on my list of books to read! *shakes fist at Leesa*

[leesa_perrie]

LOL! I mean, oops! Well, I can recommend Amber's Donkey, though I guess that doesn't help with the cutting down bit!! :D :D

I was surprised too. The 500 pages one was stumping me, but then part 3 of a series of books I've been reading came out - and yay, just over 500 pages!! Thanks, Chris Pountney, for bringing the book out!! :D

I did not know the Call the Midwife was from a book. I may need to check that out . . . :)

I'd never seen the TV show, but thought the book looked interesting. There are two sequels as well, 'Shadows of the Workhouse' and 'Farewell To The East End'. I found the books hard hitting at times, but very good and well worth reading.

The TV show changes things sometimes, which threw me a bit when I finally started watching it. Plus, there are times The show feels a little sugar coated compared to the books, though clearly, it does still deal with hard issues.

But yes, I would recommend them. Just remember the books are what really happened, the TV show sometimes plays with what happened for TV reasons!

That's really impressive! Those look pretty interesting too.

Thanks! Most of them are well worth the read!
