25: Occupation = Peaches for Monsieur le Curé by Joanne Harris



The last book in the Chocolat trilogy. This book was the best book in the trilogy, I loved it.

That's one I thought of. I decided in my corner and personal challenge to count classic novellas as books/novels because they are all given out as single books, 1001 books count them and it was too hard to decide which where novellas and which where books. Hope this would count for challenges here too.
