    PakRagMG: I love Monica McInerney, have read everything she has written!!
    How did you find At Home With The Templetons? I'm really struggling.

    Samcougar - I've read one of Rachel Treasure's before too, think it was The Rouseabout. I liked the story but the main character drove me bananas! There's a bit of country bum in me too

    [QUOTE=PacRakMG;2772691]Finally finished the Twilight saga again, and yep, Breaking Dawn annoyed me again. Moving on!
    QUOTE]

    I have been trying to get into Breaking Dawn for the last few months. I couldn't put down the first three books, but I am really struggling to get through this one. I keep hoping it will get better, or maybe it is the storyline that is frustrating me. I need to have it read by the time the first movie comes out at the end of the year!

    Last night I finished my English translation of The Little Prince which was originally written in French. I referred to the French copy I had with me as well because the illustrations were better... And to improve my French skills. It's a deceptively simple tale... Quite thought provoking and moving. I really liked it.

    I am re reading April Fools Day, last time I read it was just after it was published, such a long time ago. Great story, although it really does jump around far more than I remembered!

    It took a chapter or two to get into it and then I was hooked. It's worth it

    My MIL gave me the latest James Patterson book 'Tenth Anniversary" for Easter. It is the next one from the Women's Murder Club. So far it is an easy read and I do enjoy this series, so hopefully I will get some time to read it.

    If you like the Monica McInerney book, I have the Spin the bottle series you are most welcome to borrow. It has 3 books in the series and is a great read.

TBH i havent read anything since i was in hospital having bubs. the night he was born,everyone had gone home,i couldnt sleep so thought i would read. i read half the book...but dont remember any of it!! LOL. so iv been trying to start it again.

    I love Cathy Kelly! My SIL have all the books between us I love all those Irish writers I go to Fantastic Fiction UK and have a look to see what my favourite writers are about to come up with. Sophie Kinsella who writes the Shopaholic books also writes as Madeleine Wickham...little bit more raunchy than as Sophie Kinsella!!

    I didn't know that about Sophie Kinsella! I met Cathy Kelly, she's tiny and gorgeous and so friendly. Have a read of the Penny Vincenzi books - the spoils of time trilogy. Her books always start of complicated because there are a stack of characters, but they're a fantastic read.
