I've read a couple of others and am now keen to read quite a few more - which is good because I've got quite a few more :)Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-2360269225658966902011-12-09T03:51:00.045+00:002011-12-09T03:51:00.045+00:00Thank you for this post.Thank you for this post.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-57838506290471686002011-12-08T19:05:26.928+00:002011-12-08T19:05:26.928+00:00I've not read CCF, but read Nightingale Woods ...I've not read CCF, but read Nightingale Woods last year and really enjoyed it.

It's a mixed bag of stories but I liked them all.<br /><br />Helen, I thought the Lezard article was pretty good, he summed up a lot of why I like the books I do because I definitely read primarily for entertainment.
