do you have a pile of books waiting to be read?
mine are -
Swimsuit
Lying with strangers
Two for the dough
The Blue Nowhere
Creepers

are you a hoarder [like me] or do you just have one?

The God Delusion
A quiet belief in Angels
A History of God
Age and Guile
On the nature of the Universe

I think the reason those are on a pile is self-evident.

There are more on my bedside table, but they're by people like Jasper Fforde, McCall Smith, Diana Wynne Jones etc. Much more fun!

and Philipa Gregory -Meridon (child given to gypsies but is actually squire and must find rightful place in world) rather good actually

plus assorted gardening books

and susan hill through the kitchen window (comfort read)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I have nothing to read at all at the moment and therefore I am grumpy. And putting off bathtime because I HATE having a bath without a book.

Am v jealous of all of you.
