Kate Cann describes Spanish meals in "Fiesta" and Greek meals in "Footloose". They are teen fiction, but I rather enjoyed them.

Thanks, Kylie! I haven't read my book at all in the last few days, but I started to read a how to get over a break up and move on with your life book which is going a lot better.

Years ago I used to own about 2000 books. I grew up surrounded by books as my mum is a book lover also. Even now she keeps buying them, although she has no time to even browse them. Since I started working at the library, and considering the lack of space, I stopped trying to gather the books and I just borrow anything I want to read. I still manage to collect on my library ticket between 10-30 books at a time (I would take out more if they made the limit higher). I can't justify spending the money when it costs me nothing to request whatever I want from the library. I probably will start buying some when my living situation changes.

I am still struggling with "Villa Serena" by Domenica de Rosa. I am 3/4 through and I quite like it, but I just want to finish it and start the Mortal Instruments series which I collected from the library today (I work there!). I find it hard to concentrate on much with all the person problems I have at the minute.

This was my first book of hers to read and I loved it. It took me a while to get into the book, but I couldn't put it down afterwards. I am now waiting to read the Mortal Instruments series and I hope it will be at least as good.

I absolutely loved this book, cried all the way through. And I also loved the film, although it is very sad. It is ideal to read when you need a good cry.

I wasn't very keen on reading this book as I usually I avoid the very popular ones. For some reason I picked it up and I couldn't put it down. It was a really good read, making you see things from different people's point of view and it is all very believable. I would definitely recommend it.
