I'm an avid book worm - I read one a week, more if I'm on holiday - so get through a fair few books. It got me thinking, what would be my top five list.
I think (I will probably change my mind tomorrow) it would be:
'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris - the woman is a genius. I read this at least once a year. It's just magical.
'Just what kind of mother are you?' by Paula Daly. Only read this recently but I loved it. I'm very jealous of anyone who hasn't picked it up.
'Birdsong' by Sebastian Faulks. Had to read this for my A-levels and really didn't want to. In fact, I threw the mother of all strops and said it was a book for boys. I looked stupid when I admitted I had raced through it!
'Cross Stitch' by Diana Gabaldon. Not my genre at all but recommended by a friend. I couldn't put it down. Sadly the rest in the series are no-where near as good.
'The love of her life' by Harriet Evans. Not the most literary of books but a great easy read.
So not the most high brow of lists, but there you go! What would yours be?
