I am reading into the wilderness by Sara Donati atm. I read it ages ago and really enjoyed it. Bought it online at Whitcouls (cheaper than instore) recently and am loving it again. Very similar type thing to the Cross stitch series. I don't do scifi stuff really but also re-read Magician by Raymond E Fiest again recently - great! Kathy Reichs is good as is Jeffry Deaver. Umm... All I can think of now.

Ive found the same with Jodi Piccolt, same structure each time and feels pretty repeatitive once you get 5 books down the track!

My favourite author is Belinda Alexandra. Have just finished her book called Tuscan Rose, very good. Her others are
White Gardinia, Silver Wattle and Wild Lavender.


Jennifer Donnelly is another great author, her books The Tea Rose and then the Winter Rose are amazing.

Light hearted I agree with the Bounty Hunter books, can read those books quickly.

And Lastly - The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simmons is great, one of my favourite books and have read it 3 times - HOWEVER - the rest of her books that have come afterwards seem like they are written by a totally different author. They are crap and it really doesn't seem like she could have written such an amazing book and then only had crap to write afterwards

I've got some of the Janet Evanovich (sp?) books if you want to borrow them.   Also some Marian Keyes, Jeffery Deaver, James Patterson. I love books and read pretty much anything, so if you find someone in particular you want to read yell out and I'll see if I've got anything.

I enjoyed 'Tully' by Paullina Simons. It was one of the ones before 'The Bronze Horseman'. It's pretty serious but I thought it was a good read.

For something a bit different, I always recommend 'The Poisonwood Bible' by Barbara Kingsolver. It's about a fictional family that move to the Congo to do missionary work. It was a bit of a tearjerker in the end.

An amazing autobiography is 'The White Masai' by Corinne Hofman. Another Africa book, but it's real. It's almost too interesting to be real though!   

Ha, I like my Africa books, don't I?
