I'm having a break from reading anything heavy or historical at the minute and am reading nice easy books that are put down and pick upable, authors likeErica James, Catherine Alliott, Carole Matthews.
A friend bought me 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss and I enjoyed that and am now dipping into Making the Cat Laugh which is an amusing collection of her newspaper and magazine colums. At the minute I'm reading The Venetian House by Mary Nickson and I'm hoping to get Clarissa Dickson Wright's autobiography which I think will be a jolly good read. I like it when someone starts a thread with this topic as it gives me a list of new authors to look for so thanks Lonnie for this one and everyone else for adding to my list.
