I've not read a really good book in ages, I find you have spells where you read lots that you really enjoy then nothing ..

| Aherm, my fav books ever are Malory Towers by Enid Blyton I just got these for my daughter who is 9 and she loved them too.
Now I'm a grown up I like Martina Cole books, I've just read two by Cecilia Ahern which I couldn't putdown.
I read Lovely Bones although it was good it depressed me.
Being from Liverpool I have read all the Joan Jonker ones, mainly because my Mum gave me them.

| Slight change of tone here but I have just made a real lemon of myself over my reading on the plane.
Went over to Florida a couple of weeks ago and bought myself Bill Bryson "notes from a Big Country" to read. Great Read and would recommed it to anyone. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would by another for the return trip and purchased "I am a Stranger Here Myself" from a bookshop in th Oveida Market Place. Got to the airport and settled down to start reading only to find it was the same book I had already read under a different title!!
I so hate that - why publish the same book under two different titles for the UK and the US!
I did feel a right twit I can tell you  |

| Jan I just love the Bill Bryson books, have them all apart from the last one about science, brain has not been up to reading that level yet! I have just bought Ewan MacGregor & Charley Boormans book on their motorcycle journey, and am keeping it for our hols!
Anyone seen the new Pride & Prejudice film? Took the gals to see it last weekend, very good - after the reviews was expecting to be disappointed, but we all enjoyed it. |

I have that one Fiona - started reading it but found it a bit heavy going. May have to try it again at a later date. |

| Don't have Sky Liesa because I am such a cheapskate I won't pay a fortune so the gals can watch even more rubbish and I have more rows about homework! I may relent once YD has finished her A Levels but it goes against the grain for ax ex-BBC girl to pay any money to Murdoch's mob.
Have just got Always & Forever by Cathy Kelly, about my level at the mo for late night reading, can manage something with a bit more concentrating while on hols, although do still have the latest Joanne Trollope to finish! |

| I have read The innocent, I think Harlan Coben is great, as always watch for the twist in the tail.
I read the other woman when we went to California in the summer, it is a great holiday read.
Jan, I did exactly the same with a Jane Green book. "Spellbound" is published as "To have and to Hold" in the US. Guess who bought them both
I have just finished "Other Women" by Kirsty Crawford it was her first novel and I will be looking out for more stuff by her as I really enjoyed it. Her style of writing is similar to that of Erica James. quote:
