Thumb up Books

Love to read as many woman do,personally I feel woman read more than men,but wouldn't mind being wrong on that as it is a lovely form of entertainment.

Currently reading the latest Ian Rankin novel (Rebus) have probably read all of his stuff,awaiting the arriaval of Carla Lanes book can't wait.
Whats everybodys favorite book or author and why?

Yes I love crime novels more fictional than biography,love to try and work out the end,sign of a good book for me is one that doesn't make me want to read the end to see if I'm right,I like something to grip me.
First books I read were the Flowers In The Attic series,but its amazing how your tastes change,loved a book called Mercy ,and read that one twice.

Some bio's do really capture your attention.
Remember when I was around 13 I picked up a mills and boon at hospital and read it,ah the sweetness of youth most romantic thing I have ever read is Time Travellers Wife,fantastic book, not something I would normally read but it moved me to tears,quite an achievement as my idea of romance can be somewhat cynical

Smile Love Reading!!!!

I LOVE READING!!!! I love to read true stories, by everyday people. There stories can be heart wrenching!!!
I did start to write one, cause people said i have about 30 different things to write about, but life just seems to take over, and don't seem to get the time!!!
I might try again though!
