As for me... the current title is 'Accidentally Pregnant, Conveniently Wed'...I'll give you one guess... Lavender XX

When I need to just escape from the stresses of daily life, I tend to go for the books they pick for display to find new authors. Just finished "Death in the Truffle Wood" by Pierre Magnan, (rather partial to who dunnits!) a french auther who is new to me. Had me laughing with the dark humour and one I would recommend for light reading at bed time. Went through all the "Ladies detective" series last year...all easy reads when babysitting. I must admit I am a compulsive reader & have been known to sit reading the lables on loo cleaning bottles when I don't have anythinf to read in the bathroom! EuniceX

I do like auto biographies and fiction. We've been talking a lot today about Dan Brown's (I think it was..) "Angels and Demons" in which the partical accelerator features, saying as it's being fired up tomorrow in real life! and maybe it's the child in me but I like Harry Potter - there I said it!

Read a few of Dan Brown, not into sci fi much but do like Jeffrey Deaver books especially the Lincoln Rhyme series. Love the Lesley Pearse ones too. Someone gave me a Mary Higgins Clark book, very different but really enjoyed it. Hugs, Judith.x

These books are so atmospheric and 'un-put downable'..... quite scary sometimes but intriguing. I've read all of her previous books and find her a wonderful story teller. Can recommend. Jan

Well, it's taken a good week to plough through the prologue and the first chapter is proving just as much of a slog. Will persevere to chapter 5 and if there is no improvement it will find it's way into the next charity bag that falls through the letter box! Cross fingers the plot gets moving. Clair x Hey ho! waiting for the next Artemis Fowl book to arrive from Amazon always good fun (recommend Artemis to anyone who liked Harry Potter.

The first 3 are the best, historical time travel book with some relationship stuff as well. Be warned some of the relationship scenes are very "descriptive", my Mum read the books though and she enjoyed them. Caroline

Just read Chocolate Girls by Annie Murray. A lovely book about three women who's lives are entwined by their work at Cadbury's and the war. Will look out for Artemis, Clair, as I love the Harry Potter books, but of course there aren't any more! Mary

Mystery type stories based in the time of Henry VIII. Brilliant book. I'm about to start reading the follow on to a book I read last year called The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Don't know what it's like (or what it's called lol), but the first book was a hoot. Sort of Charles Dickens on some kind of mind altering drug!

I'm reading Sidetracked by Henning Mankell ( my favourite author) just now, a gripping crime novel set in Sweden. I understand there are to be 3 of his novels on the TV shortly, and I can't wait. luv irene xxxx
