Here I am putting my two cents worth in again. I agree with Spacepotatoes that White Oleander is an excellent choice, but Inkheart holds a special place in my heart (pun, pun) because of its testimony to the love of books. If you love food Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder will have you drooling. H ...

White Oleander is a good choice! A little depressing, but very good. Once again, though, it's the only one from the list I've actually read. What did you end up deciding for the "E" book?

Update: next up is Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins by Rupert Everett, and the shortlist for 'F' will be: White Oleander by Janet Fitch Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert Moonraker by Ian Fleming Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

I very much enjoyed your review of White Oleander which I am ashamed to say has been in one of my bookcases for several years. I will definitely pull it out when I have finished my 999 challenge and give it a go. It sounds to be a very good and fulfilling read. Thank you. belva
