Catherine Cookson Books

I got a little reminder from Madonna today that I am behind in my posting.  She's keeping a close eye on me so I thought I would publish this little post for you.

As you can see from my book list, I am reading a Catherine Cookson book this month, called "The Blind Miller" first published in 1963.   This is my third Catherine Cookson book and I find them very interesting, sort of like historical romance novels with a little mystery in them.

Catherine Cookson was a British author born in 1906.  She died in 1998, just 16 days before her 92nd birthday.  She published almost 100 books in her career starting with the novel "Kate Hannigan" in 1950.

I would really like to read her Tilly Trotter trilogy, which was published in the early 1980s.  I am keeping an eye out for these books at flea markets and second hand stores, but haven't had any luck yet.  If anyone know where I can find them, please let me know.



That's it for today.  Pick up a Catherine Cookson novel and enjoy the trip back in time.
