I have recently enjoyed C J Sansom's  Shardlake series. Shardlake is an unlikely, likeable hero. He was a hunchback  lawyer in the time of HenryVIII. Very good read. I have enjoyed all of Robert Goddard's novels. But for an absolute indulgent fluffy read, I recommend Katie Fford. Brilliant for those foggy brained, low days.

Just finished "The Guardian" by Nicholas Sparks.
A romance/ thriller.
Would make a good movie.

Also Winterose have you tried Marcia Willett, vey similar to Rosamunde Pilcher, I have read most of her books and listened to them too, most of them are narrated by June Barry and so relaxing to listen to.

I love all Marian Keyes books.Maeve Binchy.  Also Jenny eclairs Having a lovely time and her last book have packed the book so I cannot remember what it is called.  Reading About a boy Helen fielding at the moment its not bad.

Hi jo61, I read all the Fifty Shades of Grey books and wondered how the heroine could walk straight after all the sex she'd had! I also wondered why she thought that 'stalking' her was romantic. Anyway, I for one will not be going to see the film because usually the book is better than film and as the book was passable, I don't think film is going to be any better. Read 'The Island' again by V,Hislop and loved it all over again. Also read 'We have to talk about Kevin' which made a very deep impression on me.

I haven't read fifty shades of grey, but downloaded forty shades of pearl by accident on my kindle.thought well I might as well read it. I had no idea what it was about and found myself blushing while reading it,I really enjoyed the story and at first the sex was so exciting but after a while I started skipping the sex .I told a friend whose eyesight is bad and she said she would see if it was available in audio book I don't think that is a good idea lol.
