Six in Six 2015 – My Choices

You have to take part in your own meme don’t you – and I confess to starting this back at the end of June whilst I had some time for contemplation and thought in one of those rare moments.

Thank you to everyone who has joined in so far, please link back to here and I promise I will come and see your choices and pick up some category choices for next year! I hope perhaps we all manage to find some new blogs to read.

  1. Awww, shame to hear that The Paris Wife didn’t quite live up to expectations – I haven’t read that one but was looking forward to it (although Naomi Wood’s Mrs. Hemingway will be even more interesting, I think). Thanks for the mention – and do let’s reconvene for 2016 – it’s a great way to refresh your memory and think about any possible reading patterns…

  2. Thank you for the link. Pleased to see Trouble at the Little Village School mentioned, as I now have it and The School Inspector Calls! on my to-be-read pile. I hope to be here again for another 6 in 2016 🙂

  3. The Paying Guests is still languishing on my shelf too. I’ll get round to it eventually! I hope you enjoy your next six months of reading – and yes, let’s do this again in 2016!

I love hearing from you so please leave a reply.
