Rosemarie | 298 comments Janet, I hope you enjoy Who Has Seen the Wind? as much as I did. Another of my favourites is Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe.
I hope you opportunities to read the books on your lists.

I loved WHSTW ... as a child and as an adult.
The books on the list are what I have read over the course of my life ... if there is no book listed for a country it is because I have yet to read an author from there or having the story set there.

Was this supposed to be a WHAT I WANT TO READ list??

No, you can do it however you like. I add mine after reading, but some people have planned out their books. Celia has both with a cataloguing system!


message 11: by Rosemarie (new)

Rosemarie | 298 comments I misread your list, Janet.🥴
I am impressed by the wide variety of books mentioned on your already read list.
I have read WHSTW twice as well.
