I loved the Poldark series but haven’t read the books. I should really give them a whirl.

Definitely! They’re really good, and have added a lot to my enjoyment of the TV series.
I love The Book Thief which also is on my TTT. I am thinking about reading Outlander I have heard many good things about that series. 🙂
I love The Book Thief too! What a wonderful book. I hope you give Outlander a try!
Might have to add a few of these to my Around the World in 80 Books Reading challenge.
Ooh, I’ll have to see what books you include!
