Oooh my, lots of good stuff to look forward to! I would definitely like to get "Letters of a Portuguese Nun" and "The Adventure of English"

There are some I have read already like, "The Thin Place" . I have a copy of "The Historian", let me know if you want to read it.

Thanks for the list, Janelle!

You're welcome Lotus! Lots of great stuff - these are just my top picks.

I have The Historian myself - but thanks for the offer. I included some books that I feel deserve some attention, eventhough they were published earlier and are now being released in paperback - like The Historian.
