Hi Katey,
I haven't read any of them, but I did try to read Cocktails for Three a couple of years ago and couldn't get into it, swapped it last week. I really like the Sophie kinsella ones, wasn't so keen on The Undomesticated Godess, it was good, but not as good as her others.
I've also got the following on my tbr pile:
The Time Travellers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger
Sophies World- Jostein Gaarder
I got Cloud Atlas-David Mitchell on my wanted list.

read the two Shreve books, and liked Wed in December better, but kept mentioning the Twin Towers a little unnecessarily i thought.
Harry Potter was ok,maybe the later (bigger) ones are better
pride & Prejudice is one of my favourite books, the only book so far i have ever re-read.
Also have Cloud Atlas to read, heard great things about it. |

If it's still on TBR Winter in Madrid is fab in my opinion. I'm not keen on political or thriller novels and this managed to be neither while still about civil war. I loved it, some people said it was hard to get into or hard to follow but I didn't find that at all.
And if you have read it I'd love to know what you thought! |
