Hi,

Martina Cole books are great but a bit gritty. Once you read one if you are like me you have to read every other book she has written.

I'm in fantasy land these days (then again my oh says I am permanently away with the fairies).

After watching the Hogfather on tv I have been buying all Terry Pratchett's Discworld books and I find them really funny.

Other than that I am into puppy training literature!

What kind of books do you normally read Muffy?

Have you read anything by Marian Keyes? I didn't think she would be my sort of thing but her books are really funny even though she writes about some serious subjects.

You could also have a look at past Greaders nomination threads for some really good suggestions

I've read all the Marian Keyes books Jeanette.......i think she's great.

I read loads of different sorts of books really....I particularly like historically based ones.

I do look on the GReaders threads I must admit and ordered the Crystal Skull from this months, as the four books I have just read and loved are by the same author.

**problem is I'm a really fast reader and can finish a book in a day lol xx

You sound like my OH. I hate it when he buys a new book cos I know the little jobs I had lined up won't get done....Grrrrr!

I'm reading a book called Horse's Arse at the moment! lol. It's about a bunch of 70s coppers who have to police a really rough housing estate. On the front of the book it says...Life on Mars meets The Sweeney - only harder

I am dreadful once I get my nose in a book I must admit lol. I'm delaying finishing this one though because I'll really miss the characters !!

Horses Arse sounds fab........I'll put that on my list lol xx
