I am reading a lovely book called Lorelei's Secret by Carolyn Parkhurst and am really ejoying it. Will tell you more once I am finished it...below is a synopsis anyway:
Paul Iverson's life is dull until he meets Lexy and her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Lorelei. When Lexy climbs the apple tree and falls to her death Paul cannot believe it was an accident and sets out to uncover the truth of what happened with the help of the only creature that saw what happened: Lorelei.

Sounds interesting.
I've just finished a dalliance into James Patterson with "Cradle and All" and "Roses are Red".
I've now got Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic Abroad" and another of Jeffrey Deavers books.
Looking forward to them

this book is obviously NOT a fiction but a seven step guide to everyday genius... it is quite fascinating though I am at the begining of the book.... will keep you posted as I progress.
The last fiction books I read were on the weekend, both by Dan Brown... Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress... both BRILLIANT!

Finished Toorbos from Dalene Mathee last night. I really enjoyed reading a good afrikaans boek for a change.

Still wading through Frankie and Stankie - I think I need to start it all over again, or just give it up.....and if I can read War and Peace, I am sure I can finish this one!!:wall:
Am busy reading "Second Time Round" by Mary Higgins Clark. It's okay, but nothing thrilling....
