I've been looking forward to this one Julia!

Alexander McCall Smith The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency I tried reading this years ago, but found it hard to get into. I should really try rereading it sometime.

Alice Walker The Color Purple Recently read this and loved it! I didn't think I would because of the way it was written, and the narrator's voice, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Anna Sewell Black Beauty I tried reading this as a child and really couldn't get into it. I preferred books about people. My mum felt the same way.

Anne Cassidy Looking for JJ Really like this one. Although I don't read teen books very often anymore (with the exception of Nancy Drew, who I have recently rediscovered) this one is staying on my shelf as it's a really good read. Quite scary/disturbing in some places, but very well written.

Anne Tyler Ladder of Years I read this a few years ago and really liked it. I saw it again recently, and when I flicked through it I realised that it probably wouldn't appeal to me anymore since my tastes have changed quite a bit, but I did enjoy it at the time.

Audrey Niffenegger The Time Travellers Wife Really liked this one as well. Such an interesting concept. I need to reread it.

Elizabeth Hyde The Abortionists Daughter I'm not sure whether I want to read this one or not. It looks quite good, but I'm not totally sure.One to possibly check out from the library.

Emily Bronte Wuthering Heights On my TBR

Harper Lee To Kill a Mockingbird I've loved this book ever since we read it for Standard Grade English. A must read for everyone. I need to get my own copy.

Jenny Downham Before I die Everyone is raving about how great this book is, but I don't see what's so appealing about it. It's one that I don't want to read so much that you'd literrally have to force me to pick it up.

Jodi Piccoult Vanishing Acts I think this is my second favourite Picoult novel (Second Glance being my first). However, I know that a lot of people haven't liked it, but I'm not quite sure why. I found it really interesting.

Jostein Gaarder Sophie's World This one looks really interesting. I'd like to read it some time.

Kim Edwards The Memory Keepers Daughter Want to read this one too

Leo Tolstoy Anna Karenina Have been trying to read this one for months. It's pretty easy to read, but there are a LOT of characters, LOTS of details, and the plot seems to be hidden somewhere in the spine of the book. I think you'd have to take the book to pieces to find it. I'm not quite sure why it's a classic; I'm on Part II and the only amazing thing I can see about it is the amount of characters! I'll keep reading it until maybe Christmas, and then if I'm still not finished, I'll give it back to the school library. At least I can say that I've attempted Tolstoy.

RJ Ellory A Quiet Belief in Angels Read this a week or so ago. A good read, although not a favourite. I got bored at some points in the second half, and some parts were a bit too graphic for my liking (there was one part in particular which creeped me out, and it was repeated three times!)

It's funny, I had a similar conversation about this recently.  The fact that the story is told by the horse somehow seem strange and I could never read it, even though I love horses.
