Re: Book lovers
I love getting "lost" in a good book...One series of books I read a while ago now were by Belinda Jones and each book was set in a different country ,all were lighthearted romantic comedies but every time I read one I felt as though I was on holiday in that country it was such good writing and I hated getting to the end of the story

Re: Book lovers
I really must stop buying books. I keep telling myself that but it doesn't work. They are just too tempting in the charity shops. I read all sorts (just finishing a book by Eve Ensler which is very good), nothing I would call favourite except the one I'm reading at the moment. I've got piles of books hidden all over the place. Good thing is they can always go back to the charity shops after. Same goes for music, bought about 15 cds in Oxfam last week.

Re: Book lovers
I get at least three books from the library at a time, usually two out of three are good reads. Mostly Victorian crime novels or Alexander McCall Smith.There's a Book Barn nearby, most books are £1 and it's deadly! You could spend a week in there, the smell is wonderful, they have a lovely cafe too!
I usually come out with something very old, smelly and falling to bits (book not a man) and thoroughly enjoy it.
