Books I have enjoyed recently that weren't mine to register:
Farewell my ovaries, Wendy Harmer.
Split, Tara Moss.
The curious incident of the dog in the night time, Mark Haddon.
The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan.
The Kitchen God's Wife, Amy Tan.
The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown.
Ready or not? When 'I do' becomes 'I don't know', Chris Manby.
Anybody out there?, Marion Keyes. [The last two were part of the free library at The Sebel Reef House Spa Resort at Palm Cove where we honeymooned in April 2007.]
Seven Ancient Wonders, Matthew Reilly
When the lion feeds, The sound of thunder and A sparrow falls, Wilbur Smith (the first two were okay, but I loved the third one, with a new main character, and more sex). My husband has every Wilbur Smith book written, so this list will keep growing.
On the edge: My story, Richard Hammond (presenter on Top Gear re his recovery from a brain injury when the jet car he was driving flipped and buried him in dirt). Very well written by Richard and his wife. Made me cry lots.
