  1. Hello there.

    I visited your blog for quite some time now. I must say I appreciate very much your sense of humor and the way you review Neels's books.
    I like very Neels's book because the most of all are situated in Holland, a country that I visited a lot and that I liked very much and because her stories are a little bit oldfashioned (like me !).

    I wanted to ask you what are your top ten Neels's book ?

    I hope my english is not to tangled !

    Hello from France

  2. Dear Betty Helene,
    Welcome, welcome! Your English is much less tangled than my French would be.

    Top ten? Well, here are 10 that I love... (in no particular order - and subject to change at any time):

    1. Caroline's Waterloo
    2. Cassandra By Chance
    3. The Vicar's Daughter
    4. Dearest Love
    5. Henrietta's Castle
    6. Marrying Mary
    7. The Secret Pool
    8. Matilda's Wedding
    9. A Christmas Romance
    10. An Old-Fashioned Girl

  3. I like your ten, Betty Debbie, and might add:

    The Promise of Happiness (or Becky and the Baron, the hot, hot Baron)
    Never Say Goodbye (Communism?! Count me in!)
    Winter Wedding (which I acknowledge isn't as good a re-read but I've treasured it for so long that it means somethings to me)
    and
    The Hasty Marriage (also known as "Turbans. Why!?" and "The Nasty Reilof")

  4. And now that I've given it some more thought, here are some more I love:

    Polly (she's a Greek scholar?!)
    An Ordinary Girl (For the glorious day of the children's fete)
    and
    Making Sure of Sarah (for the whole blinking too-short thing!)

    P.S. And welcome Betty Helene! I've often wondered what sort of reading we make for non-native English speakers as the idioms fly fast and furious around here. You give me hope. Chime in anytime!

  6. Bien Venue รก La Robe en Jersey Imbroyables!
    I've always wanted to meet an Old Fashioned French person. My 4 years of high school French classes hasn't helped me much. But they were some of my favorite memories from school, few and far between as they were.
    I ended up living 2 years in Spain. Such is my luck.
    But again, welcome Betty Helene. We are glad you got here!

  11. Hello Betty Helene!

    Also - love your top ten.

    Perhaps should all do our top ten list, and then aggregate the results to find the ultimate collective top ten...(geek alert). Even a bottom ten?

    Will think about my list and post later, definitely 'The Promise of Happiness' is still my top favourite. First reads!
