Hi Natalie I'm a bit of an old stick in the mud when it comes to authors. I tend to stick to the same ones but there comes a time eventually when you've read all of their books and have to try something different. I have recently discovered Robert Goddard who has written loads of books so I'm wading my way through them at the mo. He writes fictional thrillers with a bit of an historical twist. My fave so far has been 'Dying to Tell' but they're all good. Well worth a read. Jeanette

Sophie Kinsella Her confessions of a shopaholic books are hilarious. I can relate to so much of the books.... People thought I was going mad last year, reading on the beach at Skeggy & laughing out loud ! Elaine x

I love historical novel and especially like E V Thompson at the moment. His books are set in Cornwall mainly around the old tin mines. I have also read some of Wilbur Smith, Josephine Cox and Virginia Andrews although I don't read quite as much as I used to. Mel

One of my all time favourites has to be Bill Bryson I love his books for the interest factor, and his sense of humour is something else. Highly reccomend him!! Lynda
