I found it of interest: a dip in and out book.  Skimmed through it to find out how it 'works', the section of hair loss is worth reading.

It will probably turn up on charity shop shelves ;-).

Picked up fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop care recently, a real page turner thus far and a giggle.

I remember the film being advertised. I had no idea it was a book. It is lovely you are enjoying it. :)

I love Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie novels;  well written, engrossing, great characters and always a twist.  Can't wait for the next one.

I just looked them up. They sound good. I hope the new one is released soon. :)

I randomly picked up a book in the library.  Sara Sheridan is the writer and it was one of her 'Mirabelle Bevan' (historical-mystery-with-strong-female-lead)  books.  Perfect for lounging in the garden with a Campari so I shall be looking for more in the series.

Kamin Mohammadi - her 1st book "The Cypress Tree - a Love Letter to Iran" followed by Bella Figura, about her life in Florence, having fled a busy lift in London .  A page turner for me as well as having recipes which I hope DH will take up.   ;) ;D

I'm just about finished Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

Not my usual crime fiction but have thoroughly enjoyed it.  A fantasy type book full of magical beings trying to reignite their powers and a ruthless king trying to wipe out all magic.

Oh I'll check out JR Ward too  :)
If you like vampires have you tried Rachel Caine - The Morganville Vampires series?  It's YA and I liked them.  Easy read and some good characters, especially the old vampire who wears bunny slippers  ;D

Sounds like my kind of vampire!!  I'll look to her too, thanks.
 Terry Pratchett always had amazing characters too, I still dip into his stuff now and then. I also read a bit of crime, bloodier the better, but the fantasy books can be a bit lighter when concentration is low. I thinking them as cleansing the mind before a crime\killer book. Some of Christine Feehans books oven delve into shape shifters too. God I love books!!

Excellent I'll check out Christine Feehan too.

Easy crime reads by D K Hood - Jenna Alton and Dave Kane series, can be quite graphic plus there's the personal lives of regular characters running through the series too which I quite like.
