What's the best book you've read lately?

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so flippant, I am an addict of the written word to the extent that if I run out of books to read I will read the back of a cereal packet. The story is more important to me than the author and my preferences run to SF and S fantasy. You will see me in your shop sooner or later. Thanks for bringing me up to date. Carol

Most of my family (including me) read SF and Fantasy as well that is how I knew the last book was going to be written.

Goody Goody, Can I ask advice when I empty out my loft? Over 2000 mainly PB some signed, 95% SF fantasy.

Anyone read The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle? It's a remarkable book, very well written and although about human relationships - not in the traditional sense - would especially appeal to horse lovers.

A few days ago I finished reading The Forests of Avalon by Marion Zimmer-Bradley, this is the first prequel to the Mists of Avalon. I just adored this book and I never thought that I would like it better than Mists, but I think I do.
Also today I finished reading The Cat who went to breakfast by Lilian Jackson-braun. I just love the Cat Who books, those felines are just crazy and adorable and so are the rest of the lovely characters.
I think my next book to start will be the Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly, it's been calling me to read it now for awhile.

I keep adding to this thread because I get such good reading ideas from it! Please keep letting everyone know what you've read and liked recently.

I just finished the latest Janet Evanovich book - it's number 14 in her Stephanie Plum series and she is still just as fresh and funny as ever. It's light reading sort of mystery - but every other author of this sort has burned out after a few good books. She is still great reading.

Not read recently but one of my all time favourite reads was The Bruce Trilogy by Nigel Tranter, i love Fact/Fiction history and it was one of (well actually three that were then released as a trilogy in one book) those books that i couldn't put down. He was an amazing story teller of scottish history.

I loved Mists too - will have to check out Forests - thanks for that. I have some Cat Who books listed in my bookshop 2.

Let us know what you think of Tea Rose OK?

I'm working my way throught the Tess Gerritsen books. I'm really enjoying them.
One of my favourite books recently was Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. I read every single one of her books and think they are fab, very thought provoking. I've put that book in my auctions (not my store) for any other Picoult fans out there
