PS - no Lord of the Rings gnome type stories, no sci fi and nothing overtly chick lit.

thanks

I love Lee Child, Harlan Coben, Dennis Lehane, Robert Crais, Janet Evanovich, Kathy Reichs, early Patricia Cornwell (before she went all weird) and Marian Keyes.

Adele Parks is good. Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist is fantastic.

The 44 Scotland Street series by Alexander McCall Smith are very gentle, enjoyable books - I get so involved with the characters I hate when the end comes.

The People's Act of Love is also quite good.

[MiaWallace]

Life of Pi
We need to talk about Kevin
The vanishing act of Esme Lennox
Notes from an exhibtion
The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

[MiaWallace]

Forgot to add Notes on a scandal

[Buff1]

The Rain Before It Falls - Jonathan Coe
Case Histories - Kate Atkinson
Notes on an Exhibition is truly fab.
Also Jane Yardley and Clare Chambers.

Also just reading Margaret Forster's Diary of an Ordinary Woman - fascinating.

[InLoveWithSweeneyTodd]

[thumbwitch]

all Alexander McCall Smith
Georgette Heyer crime/detective books
