Just nosey and looking for recommendations or titles to avoid.

I am currently reading the new Kate Atkinson, the name of which escapes me. It is fantastic thought nothing could live up to Case Histories but this is just as good.

I'm reading the House at Riverton by Kate Morton. Not my normal but really enjoying it. Set in a big maor house during ww1 and the memories of a 98 woman who worked there as a young girl. I like Phillipa G so if you do then would like this

Rach... is that the author of The Other Bolleyn Sister? I thought that was a rip roaring story.

Future Homemakers of America is wonderful too, although I cannot remember the author's name.

Mellowma, do you mean Chick Lit? If so I'm not generally too keen and tend to steer away from anything with pink fluffy looking covers.

Would recommend the Philippa Gregory series of Tudor england - basically great stories of the romance side of henry VIII's wives (what happened) Not history really - just great reads!
