Thanks for your lovely comments @bia.birch

I'm certain that you will not be disappointed by Dumas work. Monte Cristo is wonderful.

Sharing the experience with your children is a special thing. I remember reading The Hobbit to Jaime, my daughter, when she was about 8 years old. It was amazing seeing her imagination running wild. She's now 16 and she is a big fan of Tolkien.

There is still time to enter the contest if you are interested? I would love to see your choices.

Cheers, Gaz.
