Peaches for Father Francis | 
pickI love reading about Vianne in the autumn, and this book was no different. Whilst it wasn't all that much about Vianne as it was about Lansquenet dealing with changes and internal conflict, I enjoyed the story for what it was and the lovely descriptions of food and magic. I think it's very neat to see the changes Vianne and the others are going through during this series, and I would love to read more about them.

My current reading spot!
pickFrom the author of Chocolat, an entertaining and beautifully written book.
I spotted this book in a telephone box book exchange today. It was one I had released on a pub bookshelf over two years ago. http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/13862963
pickAfter so many murder mysteries, I needed to mix it up a bit ?
.
In the third book in the "Chocolat" series, Vianne returns to Lansquenet to find that things have changed in her absence, and she's called upon to work her magic once again. This book is full of vibrantly delicious images, and is simply delightful!
I missed out #fruit in #maybookflowers yesterday! How could I*. Anyway, this is the third Chocolat book and I enjoyed it because Vianne is back in Lansquenet.
* Answer: because I spent all day looking at forward planning stuff for Tuesday and got my days confused.
How about the third book in the Chocolat Trilogy by Joanne Harris, Peaches for Monsieur Le Cure for #fruit on the cover. This has peChes and a wasp on the front cover.

I don't have any peach coloured books but I do have one with peaches on the cover! I went to a talk held by Joanne Harris and she signed this book afterwards. It's a topical story concerning the issue of immigration and once again features Vianne from Chocolat. #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge
pickAnother great summer read and one that is totally relevant to today's current climate of fear mongering when it comes to immigrants. Again, we have a story of outcasts who are being ostracised by society. How they cope is at once very familiar and insightful.
