It wasn't a book I would have ever just picked up on my own (I hadn't heard of it before it was suggested) - the benefit of a reading club; it does get you extending your reading.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-76551064530839516642014-11-05T02:59:01.559+11:002014-11-05T02:59:01.559+11:00Thank you for all your book reviews - they are a g...Thank you for all your book reviews - they are a great resource! 39 Steps was enjoyed by several in our family many years ago but I can't remember it very well at this point.
