I didn’t realise that The Book of Lost Things had won an award. Nice. I can add it into my pool of possible reads for this challenge.

Congratulations on successfully completing some challenges. This one looks good. I currently have three going right now and that’s a lot for me. Although this does look tempting…

Thanks Cath. I haven’t read Puck of Pook’s Hill - I’ll look out for it, I expect the library will have a copy. I have only read Rikki Tikki Tavi from The Jungle Book, If, and the Just So stories. Have you visited Bateman’s, Kipling’s house in East Sussex? I think it’s my favourite NT property.

Pleased to see you decided to participate. You’ve chosen some good books there. I’ve read The Book of Lost Things and enjoyed it. It was ‘different’ if you know what I mean. (I’m enjoying even more Connolly’s antholgy of macabre stories - ‘Nocturne’.) I don’t know how much Kipling you’ve read but can I recommend Puck of Pook’s Hill if you haven’t already read it? Look forward to reading your various reviews anyway.
