 Well I made it to my 100 books for the Goodreads Challenge,  autually 101 books, with six books for this month and one more to finish. My book for the month was Shakespeare, The Man who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench . This was an interesting read as Judi talks about the Shakespearean rolls she has played in her long acting career. It would be a good read as a companion to studying the plays for the HSC or VCE. I mentioned that I was also going to read a Christmas themed book, I read two.

Set in Fremantle and Norfolk Island it is the story of Winifred (k/a Fred) Darling is asked to be bridesmaid at her mother's sixth wedding, she will do anything to stop it. She enlists the help of the groom's son, Leo and what follows is hilarious. A really fun read. These two little books, above were also on my list, recommended at the Church House party they are about Lady Jane Grey and Hugh Latimer and their strong faith. Both were during the English Reformation. Interesting reading. Medivac Midwife (The Pregnant Midwife) by Fiona McArthur was a free read from Book Funnel. I enjoy reading Fiona's books and this one was no exception. Karly Lane was anoth...
