Time Tangle by Leslie (Danny) Daniels. Danny was a part of our church until he died recently. This was a story he told over a number of years when he was a primary school teacher, that he then turned into a book at the age of 91! It's really good, a really exciting adventure and really well told.

Small Island by Andrea Levy. Quite possibly the best book I've read this year, and made me cry several times!

I think Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson was the last book to have that effect on me.

A Memory of Souls by Jenn Lyons. It's the third book of A Chorus of Dragons, which is a brilliant series. I urgently need to get hold of book 4, so I'll be getting in touch with my favourite indie bookshop as soon as I get paid next week!

The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory. I love this period of history (Henry VI, Edward IV, Henry VII) but definitely feel the author is too kind to Elizabeth Woodville!

I'm reading The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie. I am pretty sure the murderer is this suspicious old woman who lives next door called Miss Marple.

It was definitely The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris by Daisy Wood. I thought it was really clever and I really enjoyed it, as well as being very moved!
