I really must get myself to the library - shame it's so far off the beaten track! I have completely run out of stuff to read and I really can't afford to buy any more books. I've finished reading all the ones I had outstanding, and have passed them on to my family to read. I am craving some chick lit or some wartime romance novels, which are my weakness. I'm trying to read a "classic" that I got ages ago but I'm finding it heavy going although I would like to know what happens so I'm sticking to it. Unfortunately, the print is also rather tiny and that adds to my pain. Sigh. Reading should be fun, right?
Do you have any recommendations for me?
I'm not into "chick lit" (I even saw that sign in our new espace culturel at Leclerc!)but I do love Robin Hobb's fantasy trilogies. Also Lee Child's Reacher,great stuff.

Oh yes Jackie, I agree! Lee Child is a favourite, the Jack Reacher ones are great. Robin Hobb is another great favourite of ours (Jackie, Stephanie, Marie, Léo and I devour them...). Will send you a parcel of light "chick lit" reading...
I've recently discoverd Ann Cleeves and Jo Bannister, they're GREAT! If you can find any at the Library... And of course, any of the Karin Slaughter's are really good.
I've run out of reading matter too, so I'm going to have to go down to the Library and start reading in French again ;-)
Love xoxo

Good luck with NOrth & South. I love a wartime romance, too. I have recently become able to stop reading a book if I'm not enjoying it, something I've always found hard to do in the past. Don't know what's brought about the sudden change, but I like it!
