My 2012 Reading List

In honour of the National Year of Reading, I have started to compile a wish list of books to read.  I've already finished one!  It's not a long list right now, but I intend to add to it as I hear of good books and I will also include our book club recommendations. 

1.  The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
2.  Autumn Laing - Alex Miller
3.  The Man Who Loved Children - Christina Stead (not sure about this one - anyone read it?)
4.  All That I Am - Anna Funder
5.  Those Who Come After - Elisabeth Holdsworth

The last two are related to WW2.  I have become more interested in the impact of the war in Europe after visiting there last year and after reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusack.  I thoroughly recommend this book - you can read an excerpt here.
