Interesting selection, I wonder which six will be short-listed! Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting list, I agree, Flighty. One of the books - "Snowdrops" - was the Book at Bedtime on BBC Radio 4 at the beginning of this year. I thought it was very good. I'm not familiar with the other books on the list. I'm sure they are all very good.
