I know I loved it but 40 years later I can't remember a lot about it. *So* looking forward to revisiting it. At some stage I need to read Rebecca too because I honestly can't remember whether I already have or not...<BR/><BR/>Yes, that's the reason I'm trying Twilight to be honest - I keep hearing so much about the series. Mind, I have seen several really negative comments so it'll be interesting to find out for myself.<BR/><BR/>Definitely going to be reading The Thirteenth Tale!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-41589051351630928902008-09-01T09:54:00.000+01:002008-09-01T09:54:00.000+01:00Hey Cath!

Jamaica Inn is an absolute gem isn't it? Love that book so much.<BR/><BR/>I really need to try Stephanie Meyer's books. I keep hearing such positive comments about them.<BR/><BR/>The Thirteenth Tale is another fab choice. I am itching to revisit that one. Hop you get to read that one for the challenge, would love to read your review of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-31428780218556701662008-08-26T23:58:00.000+01:002008-08-26T23:58:00.000+01:00Hi Rhinoa.

People seem to be divided between 'love it' or 'hate it' so it'll be interesting to see which category I fall into. I'm expecting to like it...<BR/><BR/>Hi Kristina, thanks for stopping by. I've been saving Twilight to read for this challenge. I don't have the rest of the series yet but suspect I'm going to want them very quickly after reading Twilight.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-9456606226705452682008-08-26T21:43:00.000+01:002008-08-26T21:43:00.000+01:00What a fantastic list!!

My favourite Du Maurier though is Frenchman's Creek, one the most wonderful romances ever written, imo. <BR/><BR/>Hi Orchidus. Yes, I'm hoping to read as many as I can but doubt I'll manage all of them. It'll be fun trying though.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-33024821917180789972008-08-26T05:44:00.000+01:002008-08-26T05:44:00.000+01:00These books sound great, Cath! :] Hope you manage ...These books sound great, Cath! :] Hope you manage to get through most of them during this challenge.

I just realised that there are two books that can be crossed over, not one, so that's even better. <BR/><BR/>Nymeth: look forward to seeing your review of The Thirteenth Tale. Looks like that's going to be a popular one for this challenge. Two other Daphne Du Maurier books I can recommend are Frenchman's Creek and The House on the Strand. Both wonderful. And people seem to love Rebecca but I can't remember if I read it as a teen.<BR/><BR/>Hi Pat. I'm not sure that your The Edge of Darkness is the same as my On the Edge of Darkness. Was yours by Barbara Erskine? Tunnels looks good but some of the Amazon reviews weren't very good so we'll see. <BR/><BR/>I love Jamaica Inn, Chris. At least I did when I first read it er... 40 or so years ago. Hmm. Hope I still like it...<BR/><BR/>Hi Stephanie. I'm really looking forward to The Thirteenth Tale as I think I'm going to love it. Hope I'll have time to read all the books I want to.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-12884193637515989342008-08-25T20:08:00.000+01:002008-08-25T20:08:00.000+01:00I read The Thirteenth Tale two years ago and reall...I read The Thirteenth Tale two years ago and really liked it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-55614844202307167092008-08-25T19:55:00.000+01:002008-08-25T19:55:00.000+01:00Great list Cath!

It'll be my introduction to Daphne to Maurier.
