Gave up on Reina James This Time of Dying and am now on WInter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell, hmm

Ooh have ordered it from library!

Gervase Phinn Over Hill and Dale another James herriot for teachers about an inspector in the Yorkshire Dales think that's enough of this author for a bit!

I enjoyed this, very scarey and atmospheric, it actually made me jump!

You've just got taller!

Sarah has been in a show with John Barrowman, he said that in the first episode and francesca I think. Jessie has a fab voice but cannot act!!!

Ruso (Medicus) and the Disappearing Dancing Girls, RS Downie great Roman murder mystery, easy and good story. Wendy Holden School for Husbands - just what it should be! Easy story, not too sad. Goodies were goodies, baddies were a pantomime of nastiness! And all well at the end!

No not big at all, jodi Piccoult's are bigger and tend to be about controversial issues, very powerful, My Sisters Keeper, Nineteen Minutes are good, not very light though. Janet Evanovich is good too

Or something by Alice Hoffman? Or you could go mystery and read Agatha Christie, Simon Brett, MC Beaton. Light (for tales of murder!) but not really romcom.

Beneath the Bleeding was great, next in the Tony Hill Wire in the Blood series which had got a bit scarey and over the top, this was much better, more realistic and a clever twist. Sue Townsend, Number 10 I loved this if you've read The Queen and I or Queen Camilla its the same theme, the Prime Minister has had enough so goes on a tour of the country, really biting satire actually but it is the people in the terrible places who prove to be the heroes. Not sure about next!

Gave up in fact is back in the library, Val McDermid Beneath the Bleeding, much better! Am on strike tomorrow so plan to read all day!

Ooh I'm blushing!!! Thank you Am about to abandon Sepulchre though don't like the characters!

Very similar in organisation, loved Labyrinth but not that bothered at the moment

Sepulchre, Kate Mosse - not that far in but the same as Labyrinth in feel although not story

It's on order at the library!

I think what made it so great for me was the philosophy of it, that you could use it to think about the battle between good and evil etc. Really thought it went beyond Omen etc although had a laugh at their expense

Watermelon by Marain Keyes!

Synopsis: According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter -the world's only _totally reliable_ guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea. Which means that Armageddon will happen on a Saturday night. There will be seas of fire, rains of fish, the moon turning to blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it out once and for all. Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend Aziraphale, genuine angel and Soho bookshop owner. They like it down here (or, in Crowley's case, up here). So they've got no alternative but to stop the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witchfinder's army* and - somehow - stop it all happening. Above all (or, in Aziraphale's case, below all) they need to find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature on Earth. This is a shame. Because he's eleven years old, loves his dog even though it's really a Satanic hellhound under all that hair, really cares about the environment and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He's also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid. And if that isn't enough, they've still got Sunday to deal with. . . * All two of them. I have been listening to this book and it has blown me away. I laughed...... Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pestilence retired with the invention of penicillin! I cried. I found it a brilliant reflection on what is good and evil and the enduring power of humans over all else. 6/5 and off to find Coraline!

As Nici said you don't notice the size because it rolls along so fast, he normally writes sort of boys own thrillers like Alistair McClean which are not really my cup of tea but loved this one!

The Bone Garden, Tess Gerritsen Really different great Skulduggery Pleasant. OK probably won't read any more, did like that characters but didn't set me on fire!

Measuring Time, Helon Habila wonderful tale of African life. Great sort of coming of age novel in Nigeria. I like this book in the same way that I liked the Precious MAcKenzie stuff on the tv because it shows Africa in the same way that the West is shown, flawed but not plague ridden or starving. Put off reading it and am very glad I did

I first met him in 'Blackpool' which was excellent! I am sad enough to have done Latin in school and the course we followed was the story of a family in Pompeii, their names: Caecilius, Metella and Quintus!

The Coachman Rat David Henry Wilson A lovely take on Cinderella with shades of Pied Piper, I loved it! The Shakespeare Secret JL Carrell, promising start (Quite like Da Vinci) Very like The Da Vinci Code, easy thriller based on Shakespeare

Blood at the Bookies Simon Brett, the most recent fethering mysteries and as good as ever! The Hidden Assassins by Robert Wilson a Javier Falconi mystery, set in Seville good thriller so far quite close to the bone!

Amazon for me too, easy peasy
