Wasn't sure how it was going to go with Past Secrets as I'm getting a bit bored with chick lit but after a bit of a slow start I got really into it & it turned out a really enjoyable read. I rate Cathy Kelly as being up there as one of the best authors of the chick lit genre at the moment.
Started Walking Ollie tonight. Am only a few pages in so I'll reserve judgement as yet. Just hope there's no sad bits in it or I'll be blubbering away
Should get through this one pretty quickly as it's quite short.

Hi LMS & thanks
Must remember that and maybe use it when signing up in new forums!

I have dozens of bookmarks, but I never usually know where most of them are,
so I just use a bit of paper or a random receipt or a tag or something!
Same here!!
It's a real pet hate of mine to see pages turned down in a book. I'm really particular with my books and don't even break the spines when reading them. They all sit on my shelf with not a mark on them, looking as if they've never been read. I know, I'm too fussy
It really rags me when people borrow a book from me and it comes back all creased and dog eared - or worse still doesn't come back at all! -

Thought I'd give this a go as I love the chunkies & they usually make up the bulk of my reading. The bigger the better IMO.
