I like Mary Jane Staples books too.
I'm really getting into the one I have now, by Santa Montefiore, The Butterfly Box.

I would say my favourite author at the moment is Elizabeth Chadwick and my favourite books by her are the two about William Marshal, The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion. You've got to admire any author that can make you fall in love with a man who died 800 years ago lol.

I've read Lady of Hay and absolutely loved the parts set in the past but found the parts set in the present a bit too far fetched for my taste. Each to their own, eh?

I haven't read the Boudica series yet, but I have read The Crystal Skull for the Greaders book club, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

At the moment I'm reading Sepulchre by Kate Mosse, again for Greaders. If you haven't read it yet I can thoroughly recommend it. In fact, I think I might have read a bit too much of it yesterday as I kept dreaming about it lol.

I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks and so far I'll be taking The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Penman, Watermelon by Marian Keyes and Murder Most Fab by Julian Clarey....that's if I can resist reading them beforehand!

Hi there Jeanette - where've you been, haven't seen you lately?

I have read all the Alexander McCall Smith books on The No: 1 Ladies Detective Agency - they are set in Botswana and they are absolutely delightful - a real feelgood factor in all of them

For those who like Harry Bowling and Mary Staples, have you read any of Dee Williams or Lillian Harry

I like most of the American thriller writers, James Patterson,Kathy Reichts,Patricia Cornwall,Karin Slaughter,Sue Grafton, et al, but if Tesco do not have any of these, I will try other authors. I have read Val McDermitt, and others, but find them abit tame for my tastes, though I do like Ian Rankin
Tomorrow I am going to a nearby town that has actually got a bookshop, and aswell as selling jigsaws, which I like, sells paperbacks that are not current, and you can get many at £2.99. I can't go to that town without going to the shop and stocking up
