I have read Birthday Girl and Soft Target by him, they were both very good. I had forgotton about him as it was ages ago, I must look out for his other books.

I read the Pact first, just picked it up in a charity shop, I had never heard of her before (it was before I joined any book forums!), I loved it and the style of writing, recommended it to all my friends. Salem Falls was good aswell and there were some of the same characters from The Pact. Really loved My Siste's Keeper and the ending really shocked and upset me. Was a bit disappointed by Vanishing Acts as I thought it 'went off' a bit in the middle. Just finished Plain Truth and really enjoyed it, loved the Amish stuff. Am desperately trying to get a swap for Perfect Match now.

I have quite a few biogs on my TBR pile: Ronnie O Sullivan Julian Cleary Anthony Kiedis (lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers) Gloria Hunniford (about her daughter Caron Keating) Feel - Robbie Williams I enjoyed the Michael J Fox, it is quite sad, he is so young and talented and is very ill with Parkinsons Disease. I recently finished Being Jordan, which was surprisingly good and very honest. I am really beginning to enjoy these books, they are a great light read in between heavier novels. Anne x

Thanks for the welcome! The Richard & Judy one was great, it is a couple of years old, I gave it to a friend so dont have it anymore. It was really interesting to hear how they met and fell in love. They write a chapter each so you get different perspectives on their experiences. Sharon Osbourne's was quite good, it was interesting to read about her background, it makes you realise why she is so family orientated when you read about her relationship with her own Dad. Sheila Hancock's book about her life with John Thaw was very moving. The Marilyn Manson book was strange and weird and quite disturbing, my husband had it for a holiday read and I read it when I ran out of books in Crete - very odd! Shane Ritchie and Geri Halliwell were a bit too light if you know what I mean.

I really enjoyed Frank Skinner's autobiography, it was hilarious at times, laugh out loud by the pool stuff. I really enjoy autobiography books although I never used to. I have also read: Anne Robinson, Sharon Osbourne, Richard & Judy, Marilyn Manson(!), Shane Ritchie, Martin Kemp, Geri Halliwall, Sheila Hancock, Billy Connelly. I know some of these sound a little easy but I read allsorts and I like to add some light reading in between other books. I have read loads of the 'ordinary people' life stories, but I feel that some, more recent ones have jumped on the bandwagon. Frank McCourt's books were very good and Torey Hayden is excellent
