You have some great books on your list! I loved Time of Singing, enjoyed The House at Riverton. Guernsey and The Host are two of my three best books of 2008. The Winter Rose is one of my favourite books ever!
Guernsey sure is winding up on a lot of Top Ten lists this year! I know it'll be on mine once I write it up. I read The Winter Rose, but I didn't love it nearly as much as The Tea Rose. I still want to snag a copy of The House at Riverton. I've read lots of good reviews for it.
