I am looking for a good book to get engrossed in ,nothing gory or sad. Anyone read anything lately?

[Dyan]

Hi jo61,

If you like a good romance, anything by Nicholas Sparkes.
Josephine Cox
Katie Flynn.

I'm in the middle of The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosein. Nothing to gory so far. I read Kite Runner some years ago, which was good - somewhat more graphic than the film I have to say.

I really like Lisa Gardener.

They are detectives novels and quite gritty but oh so good.

When I have one of those I can't do anything but read.

Anything by Santa Montefiore

Barbara Erskine

The Memory of lost Senses by Judith Kingdom

[CLKD]

I am re-reading The Secret Garden; a book about Jean Lapataire and her experience with a burst brain artery; as well as a book about a girl who climbed Everest in the 1960s but there was a tragedgy .......
I read all of Maieve Binchy
I am wading through Daphne de Maurier in small doses
I love Derek Tangye
I read all of Jennifor Worth - the Midwife series - before the BBC got hold of it 

[Joyce]

Summer Secrets by Barbara Freethy was a nice light read.

Its free on amazon to download to your kindle too

I am reading through all the Peter Robinson "Inspector Banks" series, which I really enjoy. Only a couple more to go and not sure what to read next. I do like good detective/crime fiction - might look at your Lisa Gardener novels HB - see if I might like them

Just read The Tent, the Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy - so funny x

[littleminnie]

I like Lisa Gardner too, I've reserved her latest novel at the library.

What about Alexander McCall Smith - The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency series?

[CLKD]

CubaGirl - couldn't get into his stories.  They were well lauded when first published and I did try 
Couldn't get into Emma Kennedy either 

DH reads Sci Fi  - can't be bothered with those either 

[Joyce]

I'm eagerly awaiting the new Bridget Jones book, due out in October I think. Hope it's not a disappointment.

[Limpy]

Really like Alexander McCall Smith, they are nice and gentle, both the No 1 Ladies Detective agency and the other series (the names of which I can't remember    )

Just got into M.C. Beaton, the Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin series are both very readable. Oh, and Agatha Raisin is mid fifties, so quite a lot of things ring true.
