This very colourful map illustrates all of the countries that I visited during my reading life in 2010. A lot of travelling has been done between the words on the page and my imagination, without moving from a comfy armchair, country bench, deckchair or waiting room, wherever I find the time to pick up a book.Previous book reviews at The Octogon during 2010...

I love the map showing all the places you've visited through books. If you could just suggest one of these...which would it be?
Hi Amy, thanks for your message. Difficult to pick just one, so many good titles...The Blue Fox, Emma, To Kill A Mockingbird, but I may go for Atonement if pushed.
