My reading is mostly novels as well - I can totally lose myself in those.

No letters after my name I'm afraid!

I used to like Patricia Cornwell but I think she's got very samey now so I'm not really bothered with her books now. At the moment I like Michael Connolly, Kathy Reichs, James Patterson (although he's starting to get samey as well) and Linda Fairstein.

When we go on holiday next month I'll take a stack of books to keep me going!

I often hear letters after my name but I couldn't say what they are on the forum.

I'm reading Nora Roberts at the mo...I'll read anything though. I go through stages where I read true stories, some of them are quite harrowing too. Then I read feel good stories about communities during the war.....told you I read anything!

I tend to read family saga's and novels set during the war.

I can lose myself in Rebecca, and also in 'A Horseman Riding By' by RF Delderfield. I love stories that don't tax my brain - I get enough of that at work!

Love Stephen King and James Herbert as well.

My favourite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It's totally different from anything else I'd read but I love the story.

I've never read that, always sounds a bit too heavy going for me.

I'd also recommend To Kill a Mockingbird, its not at all heavy going and its written from the perspective of a 10 year old girl. More amazing than that its a story about a lawyer fighting a losing cause for a man with no money!

But in the secret courts of those mens hearts Atticus had no case. Tom Robinson was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell screamed...
