Books in Red have been Read
Books in Green are in my possession, unread.
There are links to reviews on this blog where reviews exist.
In preparation for participating in a Beryl Bainbridge Reading Week hosted at Gaskella I thought I would list her works. After reading three in the last few years she is certainly an author I intend to read far more of.
Today (10th May 2012) I found a nicely disreputable copy of Harriet Said... which I will be reading for the BB Reading Week. I hope to find a couple more, disreputable or not.
