This was the book that started it all for me. Not my original childhood one but a lovely gift from a lovely friend who knew how much his book means to me ?

Little women, A winkle in Time, the secret garden, Ann of green gables, sweet valley high, baby sitters club…. And when I was in my teens the Harliquin romance novels my grams would leave hidden for me when she went back home after her visits. šŸ˜‰ will always Be a happy memory. She also was responsible for my love of Nora Roberts.
