    Re: Kaydee23's TBR mountain

    The Other Bolyen Girl - Philippa Gregory Loved this, need to get my own copy

    The Queen's Fool - Phillipa Gregory Want to read

    Vanishing Acts - Jodi Picoult Probably my second favourite Picoult, very good.

    Throwaway Daughter - Ting-Xing Ye Read this a while back, could be mistaken for an autobiography but is actually fictional. It was a fairly good book, but did seem terribly realistic to me.

    Sushi for Beginners - Marian Keyes Read this years ago, fairly good, but I'm not really into chick-lit. I remember a few of the main characters being quite annoying.

    The House at Riverton - Kate Morton On my TBR

    A Quiet Belief in Angels - RJ Ellory Read this recently, very good, but there were points were I got bored with the plot and just wanted to find out who the killer was!

    The Girls - Lori Lansens Also read this recently, quite good, but I wasn't constantly gripped by it. Worth a read, though.

    Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult The first ever Picoult I read, very good.

    Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult Just got this out from the library so now on my TBR.

    Salem Falls - Jodi Picoult Very good, especially if you've read Arthur Miller's The Crucible.

    Elsewhere - Gabrielle Zevin Saw this on Amazon recently; it looks really unusual! Might like to read it sometime
