Hi Louise

Thanks for choosing my challenge, The Historian, I'm looking forward to reading this.

I've chosen for you, My Dirty Little Book Of Stolen Time by Liz Jensen. I love the title and it instantly grabbed my attention. I thought it would have been a chick lit/ yummy mummy book so I was surprised when I read the blurb. I hope you enjoy it

Hi Louis,

Thankyou for your challenge. I bought quite a few Agatha Raisin books from my local charity shop and have as yet have not got round to reading any, this is going to get me started on the series as they look like lovely reads. For your 2010 challenge I would like you to read 'The Descendants' by Kaui Hart Hemmings. I've been meaning to read this one myself so will probably join you, I know Sam wasn't all that impressed by it. Hope that's ok.
