Least Favourite
Gone for Good.

Favourite
The Other Hand.

I liked most of them. Have chosen The Other Hand, because it made the most impact.
There are also some books here that were on the list when I was unable to get on-line. So haven't read them all.

My least favourite was the Birthing house which I found seriously unpleasant (it was my choice too).

Favourites (I have two)
The Other Hand and the Glass painter's daughter.

I also have not read all on the list.

Out of the ones I have read

Favourite book - The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
Least favourite - The birthing house by Christopher Ranson

Even the ones I wasn't keen on I was glad to read as I do tend to be rather set in my choices otherwise!
