Title: Books- any good reads?

Hi gang, just wondering if anyone's reading any good books at the mo, whether fiction or non. I'd like a good summer read.. :) x

We have a bookworm thread - but I can't remember without looking back what I've read.

Currently: "Unmasked" by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.  2 me he comes across as shy, wanting to be anywhere but 'here' on photos etc..  However the story is good, he has a dry sense of humour on the page but it is a tome  ;D.  A little too heavy to read in the bath  ::)

I buy most of my Summer reads from  charity shops and 'post script' magazine.

Dawn French book called Me to You, it's a lovely wee diary of her year through the months and seasons. All the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon are brilliant, can't wait for the next one! Have you watched it on Amazon?

The Penguin Lessons, Tom Michell - just delightful.  The Salt Path, Raynor Winn, a reminder  there can be triumph over adversity.

Ooh, some good ideas there!!
I'll check them out.
I've read quite a few of Maggie O'farrels books and really enjoyed them. It's really nice when you find an author you really like isn't it. X

I've recently started reading Milly Johnson as picked some up at a car boot sale ages ago, and found them easy going chick lit x
