What a great list.
I've read a few of those you've selected, and will keep the rest for future reference. (Because I trust your judgement!)
Good idea, to keep it to recent reads, Margaret - and glad you enjoyed it, the idea seems to have spread throughout the blogs!
Nice to see Rebecca there, and Speaking of Love. If EM Delafield weren't so brilliant, Daphne du Maurier would have made my list.
Paula, I'd be interested in seeing your list. I hope you enjoy the ones I've read.
Simon, I could easily do an alternative list - the hard part was deciding which ones to select. I agree about E M Delafield, but haven't read her books for years.
Nice choices! And, of course, I'm quite partial to C.J. Sansom and Ariana Franklin. :-)

Great list. I'd like to do this, but I'm afraid it would take me forever!
Thank you for including Speaking of Love ... .
An excellent idea. I think that will be tomorrow's project, inbetween the knitting that is.
I thought of keeping it to recent reads, too, but found I hadn't read enough books by authors of certain letters! :) I think I've read Alias Grace at lest three times. I almost put that one, but I really liked The Blind Assassin. Great list.
Great list, so many to add to my future list! I love finding out what people's favorite books are!
I'm so enjoying these lists! There are several there that I will have to follow up on.
