    Enjoyed the Robert Goddard, always find his books hard to put down. Now reading Spring by William Horwood, I remember reading his book Skallagrig many years ago and thinking it was excellent, I even wrote to the author to say so - never felt the need to do that before or since so hope I enjoy this book as much

    I'm still reading Jane Austen (I know, hides head in shame), but I am over half way through after finally getting into it and quite enjoying it now. Nobody quiz me as to the storyline as I forget as soon as I turn the pages! To be fair, not had much time to read these last few weeks, I'm not usually this slow, honest!
