I read that years ago and remember not liking it much. I love Jane Eyre.

Well done Wayne!

Well done Carolien. I read through the reviews for Zululand Gold, and saw that it was preceded by Zululand Snow. So will read the latter first when I come round to it. Shouldn't these be listed as a series, for the serial readers among us? ;,>)

I'm done!

Congrats Diane. Might have a look at The Ocean In Winter, but only next year

Well done, Diane!

I would actually read them in order if you can find them. I enjoyed both.

All done, I did not enjoy Stone Song, very average and formulaic. I didn’t like the main characters particularly either. I hate to leave a book unfinished, but this one was a chore!

Well done, Marlese! Especially as you had to struggle through one. I'm another one who wants to finish the books, but there are some where you have to wonder if it's worth it. Hope you have something nice lined up!

Congrats Marlese.

Thanks Caroline and Wayne!
