I have already read The Secret Garden (review coming soon) and I’m looking forward to the rest.
The Book Whisperer 
Some great books there. Happy reading!
I haven’t read any of these books, but I think I had The Lake of Dreams in my hands. I’ll probably want to read that (but wait for your review).

The top picture is pretty! I have The Lake of Dreams on my kindle to read and it looks so good! I haven’t read any of the others (although I’m off to google The Oracle now) but they all look interesting. Enjoy! 🙂

I’m seeing The Oracle of Stamboul everywhere lately. Makes me wonder if I passed on a potentially good book. You will have to let me know what you think once you read it!

You know what I admit to liking most about these kinds of posts? Admiring the different covers from the ones we have! 🙂
I think Lake of Dreams will be good; I really enjoyed an excerpt I read from it. And funny, because we just received the other two in that photo today at work.
I love that cover of the Secret Garden! Yummy Oxford. I’m glad we can get them here, but I’m holding out for this edition, which I KNOW you’ll love (look at the illustrator!): http://www.amazon.ca/Secret-Garden-Frances-Hodgson-Burnett/dp/1402778724/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297485615&sr=8-1

Gah! What’s going on. That link brings me back to your site! Okay, so the illustrator is Robert Ingpen (you have his A Christmas Carol, and it’s published by Sterling. It’s on amazon.ca. I didn’t check amazon.co.uk…
