TGIF is a Friday Feature hosted by Ginger at GReads! The point of TGIF is to re-cap on this week’s posts and answer the question of the week!

Most Valuable Book:

From your personal collection of books, which ones hold the most value to you? Is it signed by the author? Or maybe it's your favorite story of all time? Share it with us.

I cannot name just one. All my poetry books are valuable for me. Those range from Chaucer to contemporary. Then some classics, like Jane Eyre, Rebecca and To Kill a Mockingbird. I will add my collection of P G Wodehouse, Tintin and Asterix too. What else? Oh yes, the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson. I have lot more.....

FRIDAY FINDS showcases the books you ‘found’ and added to your To Be Read (TBR) list… whether you found them online, or in a bookstore, or in the library — wherever! (they aren’t necessarily books you purchased).

‘Oh my God, what’s happening to me? After all this time, please, not again!’

 Jeanne Le Page, gripped by fear and panic, struggles to breathe as the ferry arrives in Guernsey – the island she had fled fifteen years before, traumatised by a family tragedy.

Now she has to return after another death. Her beloved grandmother has bequeathed Jeanne her old cottage. She intends to stay just long enough to sell her inheritance. Deeply unhappy after the recent end of a relationship, she has no desire to pick up her old life in her birthplace.

Jeanne is shocked to find that the cottage holds a secret going back to the German Occupation. She becomes drawn into learning more, delaying her planned departure. At the same time, while unveiling the truth of what happened to her family, she puts herself in mortal danger.

She has to relive the tragedy as the ghosts continue to haunt her. But over time the island works its magic, encouraging her to live and love again .

Found on Promoting Crime Fiction by Lizzie Hayes
