Iconic 90s Books


This one is a bit late due to technical difficulties! Sorry! 


The Bridges of Madison County may have been the ’50 Shades of Grey’ of the 90’s (by that I mean they are both extremely popular while not being very well written).  The Bridges of Madison County spent over 3 years on the New York Times best seller list and has sold over 50 million copies world wide. The book was adapted into a film of the same name by Clint Eastwood in 1995.


Delia Smith actually released 5 cookbooks from 1990-1999 (and over 25 books in her career) but my personal favourite is Delia Smith’s Christmas released in 1990. If you are after a great Christmas cake or Christmas mince pie recipe then look no further. Delia Smith’s Cookbooks have sold over 21 million copies worldwide.


TWTWB was the first book series that I absolutely fell in love with. Ellie Linton is such a smart and powerful young woman. It made an impact on me. I still love these books and I try to re-read them at least once a year. I'm proud to say my copies were so well read that I had to buy new copies last year. Adults will love these books too.

How cute is The Rainbow Fish? With his little blue face and shiny, shiny scales? Awww. Another 90’s classic. This colourful picture book teaches kids the importance of sharing and how fun it is to do so. There are 5 other Rainbow Fish books: Rainbow Fish to the Rescue, Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale, Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monster's Cave, Rainbow Fish Finds his Way and Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea

The Rainbow fish was my ultimate favourite picture book in primary. Such pretty illustrations. I'm pretty sure I would hog it and always take it out from my school library. Definitey a a classic that I will be reading to my future nieces or nephews!
