I loved The Sea (still have a copy sitting around here somewhere).
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of Cathedral by the Sea but haven't read it yet. You'll probably beat me to this one (I'm so behind in personal reading!).
I love this weekly post of yours. :)
I have Song in Stone on my shelf. I can't wait to read it, I LOVE books that involve time travel.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear The Sea is good. And I'm with Ruth -- I love time-travel books.

ReplyDeleteI really like this feature, the picture is lovely. Do you have a central location for this weekly theme? I'd love to do it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSandra: I made the button up myself from an image in the public domain. I do this every week. Feel free to use my image and then link back here with your post.
ReplyDeleteMizB (here) does a popular Friday meme called "Friday Finds." You might want to think about joining that.
I usually submit one or two books to Friday Finds and use Weekly Discoveries to keep track all the rest!
