Hello Bookworms!!!,
As we
progress through the second month of 2013, I have taken a look back over the
books I made posts about in 2012. There were so many good ones!! I wanted to
share my top 10 favorites with you! (Please bear in mind that I enjoyed them
all so much I couldn’t make one more important than the other so these are in
no particular order).

a.
An Entirely New Country is a biography of the 10
year period in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes
adventures, lived and worked at Undershaw. While there, Doyle wrote The Hounds
of Baskervilles. What’s the coolest part about this book? 50% of the proceeds
go the Undershaw Preservation Trust to help in the effort to preserve
Undershaw.
