How could you compare using a Kindle to reading a lovely book? What would you put on the empty shelves?

So well written, no wonder you were upset when you could not find it, so glad you espied it!!
The film is also well made and not, as is so often a poor representation.


Until about 18 months ago I had a full record of each of my books but being away from home before retirement it has not been kept upto date, so now having read this I will put my roller skates on and get on with it.

Researching:
Wrenn, Ford, and many others!

I have seen the film (84 Charing Cross road) - which was amazing

I have always loved Jane Eyre -

I have also collected every single Agatha Christie - I love Partners in Crime & Nemisis the best.

I have far too many favourite books to just name a few

Good idea though

Researching:
Kent - Sussex - Hampshire - Norfolk - Surrey - London - Yorkshire - Cornwall -Northumberland - Wales - Scotland

I thought I had lost mine some 3 years ago and after hunting high and low decided must be in loft as no way would I have thrown it out.

Last night whilst sitting here I was gazing up at the shelves crammed with books and spotted it. Spent the rest of the night reading it. What is it?

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I purchased it in 1977, read and enjoyed so many times.
