#AboutABook #SetOnAnIsland

I couldn‘t decide between the two so I posted both. A classic Agatha Christie and an exciting middle grade book about a boy shipwrecked on an island. Tagging @Karisimo for tagged book.

Entry Island | Peter May

Entry Island by Peter May is one of my favourite books #SetOnAnIsland (although some of it also takes place on the Canadian mainland), I would also have to mention Peter May‘s brilliant Lewis Island Trilogy. All of these are cracking reads ❤️ #MarchInBooks #SetOnIsland

rabbitprincess This is my favourite Peter May so far! As a Canadian I strongly approve of his choice of setting 😄 7y

Andrew65 @rabbitprincess I truly loved this book, and don‘t read enough set in Canada. I loved the historical aspect linked to Canada in this one. 7y

Last Hope Island: Britain, Occupied Europe, and the Brotherhood That Helped Turn the Tide of War | Lynne Olson

Not a tropical island, but this nonfiction book is set on an island! It's about the countries that came to the U.K. during World War II and how they contributed to defeating Germany. I learned a lot I didn't know. #SetOnAnIsland #MarchinBooks @maich

Andrew65 Love the title! 😂😂😂 7y
