One of the very best things I’ve discovered through blogging is like-minded readers. You might be thinking, ‘Well, derrrr’ but for me, it was an unexpected bonus.

One such lovely blogger is Annabel Smith, who also happens to be an accomplished author (if you’re searching for titles for the Australian Women Writers reading challenge, consider Whisky Charlie Foxtrot and A New Map of the Universe).

Annabel runs a feature on her blog called Friday Faves – each week she invites someone bookish to share one of their all-time favourite works of fiction, and why it’s so special to them. I was thrilled when Annabel asked me to share one of my favourites. Pop on over to Annabel’s blog and see which book I picked.
