That was an amazing book, but I'm avoiding any really gripping reading like that at the moment. What I need right now is easy reading to help send me to sleep at night, which is why I'm reading Georgette Heyer ... any Georgette Heyer. Just finished Lady of Quality and just started on The Talisman Ring. Veg out reading!

Now I'm reading "The Thirteenth Tale".

Currently reading 'Goodbye Jimmy Choo' by Annie Sanders.

Have just read - "The Chocolate Lovers Club' by Carole Matthews and 'The Hollywood Girls Club' by Maggie Marr.

All Chic Lit really, nothing too heavy.

One of my favourites was ' The House at Riverton' which was absolutely brilliant.

I'm currently reading the Shopaholic's series -- Confessions of a shopaholic. Taking me forever because I'm so busy lately.

BTW..I'm a little confused in the order of the books in this series. Could someone just list them in order? Thanks

I love "The Power of Now". And the new one is one my list.

Last book I read was "The Space Between Us". Just started "The Golden Notebook" by Doris Lessing.

And Michael Pollan's "An Omnivore's Dilemma" is the next non fiction on my list.

I am currently reading "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield so far so good. I tend to read pretty quickly so I always buy 5-6 books at a time. My next read is "World Without End." I've heard great things about this book so I am excited.

Sounds like a great idea! I'll be away the last week of Feb/first week of March, tho. I'll start reading it just in case!
