I mentioned in a comment recently that I might need to find one of Jojo Moyes books to read as I’ve been hearing so many good things about them. So I was fossicking (searching) through my bookshelves for a book to take to the festival we’re going to and found a title that appealed and blow me down the author is Jojo Moyes. The book is called ‘The Ship of Brides’. I’ve no idea how I came by it. Has anybody read it?
Another bit of information about the festival – they have a ‘little library’ there – just a box on legs set in amongst the marquees with a dozen or so books in it. You can take one and return it or replace a book with one of your own. It’s a great idea.

@JudyEv That wouldn't bother me as much as it might my neighbors. Maybe there's a rule against it where I live. I don't know. I just wouldn't know how to build something to put it in. Also, I would be afraid of vandals. We have some rowdy teens in this area.

@snowy22315 I'd love to have a room lined with books like you see in the movies in the old mansions.

Though I have heard so much about Jojo Moyes,I have not read Me Before you yet.I think I should.By the way,I looked up your Australian word 'fossicking' ('' searching ''). I have not read The Ship Of Brides,either.It seems to be the story of Australian War Brides.I think it is a good idea,taking a book and replacing it with one of your own books.

Is this a new or an old book? It's the first time I've seen this book.

It was first published in 2005 so I guess even that is starting to get old isn't it? The years go by so quickly.

I didn't realise it was Aussie speak. There are few that people have queried. To 'cop' something is another one.

I love, love, love Jojo Moyes books. I have the one you mentioned downloaded on my Kindle but haven't read it yet.
