Just read by Alexander McCall Smith. Quite enjoyable. Felt like I was on the train ride.

I am so looking forward to hitting some of his books this year, Robin!

I must get round to reading this! I do the train journey from Edinburgh (well, just south of Edinburgh) to London regularly. I used to commute to Edinburgh too, and a group of us thought we should write a television series about people like us, but we never managed it. Last year there was a documentary series about that line, though.

Hi Robin. Maeve Binchy's "The Lilac Bus" was very good. I never relished city bus rides but it's no longer an option in our country town. ;) A real train should be very nice. They famously cross Canada but aren't set up for brief commuting.

Read by Nancy Horan. A novel about the American woman who married Robert Louis Stevenson and their life together.

Just read by Alexanser McCall Smith. Quite enjoyable.

Forgot to add Jessica Brockmole. Lovely.

Finally read by Muriel Spark. This has been on my list for awhile, so glad I finally got to it. A little gem. Spark often mentions using "a proper Edinburgh accent". Can anyone tell me what that means?

Oh sure, now you'll have members crawling all over each other in a race to answer this for you. Nice technique. ;) If only I got the odd reader for my musings, in a month! Glad you got to a book you've awaited. That describes most of what I own, physically owned entirely. Carolyn.

I recently read also. It definitely is a gem. Even though Miss Brodie turns out to be an unlikeable protagonist, I loved the book. I am also curious about "a proper Edinburgh accent".

Read The Franchise Affair by Joesephine Tey.It was wonderful. It has been sitting on a stack of "to read" books for awhile and I finally picked it up. Good writing,delightful dialogue.

I have read six books toward my goal and am looking forward to next year's challenge.
