Hi Annie, I am a huge fan of Maeve Binchey & gutted when she died a few years ago as I had only just got into her books. I've read all of them now I think apart from the short story ones.

I have found Margaret Dickinson to be quite good, she's easy to read at night in bed (as I do). They usually tell the story of a young womans life in the late 1800's through to the 1900's. It then carries on with her children's lives in another book, they all have a struggle to get a decent life.

Hi Cazi

It's so sad Maeve Binchy isn't around to write more, each book in her collection I struggled to put the book down, I felt I was there living the story, I guess that's when you know you've hit the jackpot with an author

I've ordered a book by Cathy Kelly to see, but will look up your suggestion

Thank you

Oops! Misread your post Dulciana! Sorry! You don't read murder, blood curdling stuff. I read that you did. Now shall I blame that on eyesight, meno, or just lazy reading?  ;D

 ;D Don't worry, Ju Ju!

Just got a couple of books online - Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" and Rosamunde Pilchers' "Wild Mountain Thyme" - which arrived today.  Good.  Time to curl up with one of these, and a cuppa....

I love buying new books and receiving them in the post. I love the excitement, the smell and the anticipation!  I don't do kindles etc as I love books so much.

I was at a car boot this morning and bought 2 paperback novels for 50p each, a lovely book  on beaded knits, Lorraine Pascalls Baking Made Easy in mint condition £18.99 for 50p and a mint condition book on kids birthday cakes for my friend who does just this. 50p as well.
