Is it just me or did anyone else prefer angels and demons to the davinci code?

guest, I just read Jodi Picaults one about the designer sister, can´t remember the name of it. What other ones has she written and are they as good? Just finished reading Sheila Hancocks book which I really enjoyed.

Can you all tell, I don´t remember titles

ooh madsue i leant them to my mate...i read the designer sister one, the other one I think was called The Pact....yes it was, about teenage sweethearts....very good. I have my eye on another on Tesco by her but i cannot remember the name will tell u when I buy it very soon!

She has written loads, read "The Pact" a little while ago, enjoyed that. Have another one called "Plain Truth" haven't read that yet and she also has a new one out, think it is called "Salem"

The one you have read was called "My Sister's Keeper". Remember reading that on holiday and bought tears to my eyes at the end.

Thanks guest, you sound like me!! I have to be reading, and have been known to have three books on the go at a time. Think that's probably why I don´t remember the titles!!!

madsue · Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:07 pm Post subject:

Thanks to you too sandyglen!! I do tend to do that, find an author I like and then read the lot. Trouble is, I then forget which ones I have already read and get them again!!!!! I blame the covers.........they all look the same don´t they! Penny Vicenzi (is that the right name?), et al, just seem to change the hat, or the womans face, for each successive book!

I know what you mean. Every time I go shopping in Tesco's I usually pick up a book. Went on holiday in October, got a book out to read and I had bought it twice

and only read it about 2 months before.

madsue I am lethal with books. My idea of total heaven is a free day in Waterstones with a free trolley full! I SO love reading, always have. My son has inherited it too, he is 12 and we took 12 thick books on holiday for him. He read the lot and started on mine

I cannot read anything unless it is true
I am reading "Stolen Innocence" by John Batt
It is very good so far

I`m in the middle of "Twisted" by Jonathan Kellerman, would recommend anything by him, also anything by Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, and James Patterson. I loved Dan Brown`s "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons", planning to get his other 2 books soon. You`ll have gathered that I`m not into lovey-dovey romances!

GoldenChippie · Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 10:18 am Post subject:

guest - have not read any Jodi Picault - which would you recommend first?

shorty · Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 10:20 am Post subject:

:) I'd read The Pact first, I think that was published a few years ago but is available evrywhere

GoldenChippie · Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 10:30 am Post subject:

awwww love all the new emots :albino:

The only thing I seem to be reading at the moment is Christmas store gift catalogues! - planning what to get everyone.

Hopefully I'll get some books for Christmas and can settle back down in the New Year and get back to normal reading!

I love to read - have just started Da Vinci Code.

Also like to read true stories such as Boy called it, Angels Ashes, Goodbye Dearest Holly, The Kid and I also read a lot of true crime books Yorkshire Ripper, Cromwell Street (Fred West) - I like the forensic side of a case and how they catch them!!

Joolz :wink:

Although I read loads of chicklit rubbish, I love travel books and have read all Bill Bryson, and most of the ones written by people who go live in other countries. I have read Boy called It etc, joolz, but not yet felt able to read Goodbye Dearest Holly, as we were staying in the house next door when it all happened so it is too close

I will have a look for some of the others you recommend, as I am fascinated by forensics, and would have loved to have been clever enough to have trained in something like that.
