I’ve read three of them (bird sisters sent by you!). I loved all of them but my favorite was the Major Pettigrew one. Do you know whether she is writing any other book scheduled to come out in 2012?
All the best for the New Year.

The last I saw (in a June 2011 blog post) she said she was working on a second book – and that Major Pettigrew had been optioned for a film.

I’m glad to see Major Pettigrew is on your list. That was one of my favorites last year. I hadn’t heard about it being made into a film but that would be so wonderful. I can’t wait for her second book. The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus looks good. Have a wonderful 2012!

As you know, Skipping a Beat, Frankie Pratt and Hunchback were all on my list too. The Bird Sisters and What Alice Forgot were on my long list but didn’t make my final cut. I’m feeling bad about those books right about now. Great list!

Nice list, Mary! I’ve read most all of them and think I should probably add The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus to my list.

I did not read any of these, but several are on my list. I did a wrap-up post with the ones I liked best and the ones I didn’t! It’s always nice to look back over the year of reading.
