Books for Xmas

[jenr]

My family want me to tell them of some books that they will buy me for Xmas?
Are there some new releases out there that anyone knows of which will be good reading?
I like books by Di Morrisey / Jodie Picolt /Danielle Steele those sort of books.
I dont like vampire books or sex books just your basic books for 51 year old women

I don't read Jen, well i do but only BH&G that type of thing, maybe they could get you a subscription for that or Country Style, i like that one to & if you don't like them just pop them in your bag in March

No magazines are a waste of money.
I wish I had more time to read books I love a good book

[Mad Old Cow]

So i won't get excited about mags in March then Jen ?

LOL MOC....... I don't really read anymore as I lose the plot after the first page and have to re read a dozen times and not worth it. I use to be an avid reader but just cannot do it anymore.....a woman's mag is about all I can do these days and I have even suffered in training at work these last couple of days with the manuals !!!

Well I am still waiting on some titles I will go to the book shop today and have a look

I just read the new Bryce Courtney book "The Stroy of Danny Dunn". I would recommend it.

How about some old favourites that you haven't read for years Jen?
I'm planning to reread Neville Shute,"a town called Alice,In the wet" I think he wrote those.Also R E Delderfield, H E Bates but these write about England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Do you like historical novels?Or autobiographies? Maybe combine the two Ned Kelly? Rolf Harris? Dame Edna?!! Sorry Jen those are the only famous Aussies I know!!!
if all else fails a book token perhaps?
Moc and Frannie....dont read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wash your mouths out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
