To Love, Honour & Betray Till Divorce Do Us Part - Kathy Lette

This is def a girls book. About a women who moves to Australia from UK and then the story begins. It was hilarious. My mum and sister have both read it and thought it was very funny too. I couldn't put it down.

SOunds like fun, i'll have to try it!

Have you read any of Sophie Kinsella's books? The Shopaholic's are fab

I have the complete set of these books and have read, and re-read them.... they have made a lasting impression as i think of her life at odd times during my own.....

I also have the Flowers in The Attic set which i started years ago at school, and re-discovered them a few years back when i realised there was another book... prefer the Jean Auel books to Virginia Andrews, but they were still good.

I have Wilbur Smith's River God and Warlock but have not read them yet.... was given them from a neighbour...

Ian Rankin's Rebus Series is brilliant if you like crime fiction set in Scotland.... made even better having been to some of the places and bars that have been written about in the books.
and i'm also a fan of Jodi Picoult and James Patterson.... in fact, i just love books!!

I found an old childrens book 'Adventures of the Wishing Chair'

I had forgotten how nice it was to read a kids book, bringing alive your childhood memories.

We used to pretend we had a magic bed that had wings on each leg - I looked forward to going to bed at night to go in the 'magic bed'.

Kids books - great for escapism.

Just finished the Secret Scripture can't remember the author. Very engrossing and great read.

Kite runner

Ha ha I like the sound of the bed with wings!

I recently did a course on hypnosis and one of the exam assignments was to write an inductment (a kind of relaxing story to help induce trance) My script was about a ride on a magic carpet. A bed with wings would be a good idea for a hypnosis inductment!

I recently started reading a series of children's books called The Lone Pine, set in Shropshire. Another good Shropshire set is the Cadfael series, about a sailor who retires to a monastery as gardener, and becomes a detective.

I grew up on William, Biggles, and the Swallows and Amazons series.

I mostly read detective series now, either dark or funny. I am working my way through Shane Maloney, amongst others atm. Set in Melbourne, easy reading and humorous.

Q

I agree - a real good book even though someone gave it to me - I thought 'not my sort of book but I will give it a go' awesome read.

Cradle and All - James Paterson

Two teenagers on opposite sides of the Atlantic whose lives are in great danger. Both girls are pregnant. Rumours one with the son of God the other the son of Satan. Which is which and is it real?

A real good read - didn't stop until I had finished

I am going to look for that book ,I read Wild Swans and it was all about Moa

The last name was Jung who wrote it ,it was such a good read and i learned al ot about the cultural revolution in China .

I just caught hat movie on the box not to long ago and it was really corney ,the acting was terrible but I did like the book when I read it years ago ,

Memories! I used to love these books and The Magic Faraway Tree with Chinky the Pixie and Saucepan Man. Thanks for reminding me about them will buy them for my children, they probably will not find them as exciting as I did when I was their age what with all the PSPs and Playstations around now but will be good to read them again!

You can't go wrong with the Narnia collection, Lemmony Snicket and Harry Potter - all great kids books (that some of us adults enjoy too )

The movie is rarely as good as the book.

Stephen King's "Misery" is one exception.
