You seem to have the same taste in books as I do. Any that you could really recommend?

I used to be really into Christopher Pike but I don't know whether they'd be too young for me now

I've read the dark, i think i have actually read most of the early ones but i haven't read the others. Will give it a try. Do you like more horror or thrillers?

Nicci french is quite good - have you tried any of theirs?

Has anyone set up a book swap thread? I've got loads of books sat on shelves - every now and again i put them on ebay but for the price of postage we could just agree to exchange books?

I have just finished “Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death”. They are old style village whodunits but with modern references and a modern heroine. Totally daft easy reading.

I am also in the middle of (I can’t read just one book at a time!) “Death by Chocolate” by Toby Moore which is a crime novel set in a USA where junk food is banned, everyone has prescribed weight limit and possession and dealing of brown (chocolate) is a crime akin to drug dealing in the present time. To say it is dystopian is an understatement. It’s quite easy to read though and funny in parts. For something similar read “Fat” by Rob Grant which is UK set.

As I said I read more than one book at a time so I am also reading When It Happened: The Little Book of British History because I like to mix some non-fiction in with the fiction.

Just finished 'The Woods' - the latest Harlan Cobden. My book pile includes The Harlequin - no 13 in the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton, a couple of light romances by Kresley Cole and Linda Howard, and just read 'Already Dead'by Charlie Huston - wouldn't recommend though""

I use this site a lot BookHopper UK Free Book Sharing Community - Home - Hopper Swapping Swap Shop - Book Swap it's great, I've had loads of books from this site,and all you pay is the postage to send a book from your bookshelf to whoever has requested it!

Tess Gerritsen is good, the ones about Jane rizzolli are good

I quite like ruth rendells too
finished the wolves book, it was ok not brilliant, but quite hmmm i wouldnt say challenging as such, but not an easy read if you know what I mean
started sophie kinsella tell u a secret now, will wizz through it coz its funny and easy to read

anyone read memoirs of a geisha, its my fav book ever

Oooh...Nat...I LOVED memoirs of a geisha,I just couldn't put it downOne of the few books I've read that really stays in my mind

You will not regret it... I stumbled across her by accident about 4 years ago.... and ever since then I have been hooked as have all my friends... she is brill!!!! have a look on Melissa Hill, No 1 bestselling author Melissa Hill, Irish author of Never Say Never, Not What You Think & Something You Should Know published by Poolbeg Press

oh yes never say never is a great book, very funny,
thanks gen u just reminded me to buy more of her

just thought of another good book
its an autobiograpy
the bandit queen
by phoolan devi
very good book about a gang of outlaws in pradesh india

Finished "Triptych" by Karin Slaughter a couple of days ago and just started on "The Cold Moon" by Jeffery Deaver. I love most thrillers - can't go past a bookshop without getting the latest

I read most books,but I don't think I've ever read any by Jeffery Deaver,for some reason I thought they were horror(not that I have anything against horror)I like the sound of them though,are they thrillers?

Jeffrey Deaver does mainly thrillers. Some of the early books are lighter going but the later ones are gripping. There was a film with Denzil Washington as Lincoln Ryhme based on one of his books - the bone collector?

Anyone read any by John Sandford?

His are crime/thrillers too. I find all of his books very gripping but also very intelligently written.

Jonathan Kellerman is another good crime read. I'm just reading the last Alex Delaware novel now - Gone. Only a few pages in but already getting sucked in!

Absolutely love the 'Prey' series. I believe a new one has just been released

Got a it lost with JK - loved it, but I couldn't get into 'Murder Book' so haven't read any in a while. I may have to dig out my copy and try again!
