Susan Hill for horror type books?  Sadie Jones?  She has a kind of classic feel and The Uninvited Guests is sort of horror - soft-horror?  Perhaps Kate Morton - again she does a good past/present story with a hint of mystery in and The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield might be up your street.

 I remember having blankets - creamy white with pink stripes at the top and yellow ones and a knitted multi coloured one on top.  The sheets were stripy - candy striped? I was very young though and I remember getting quilts that had a pattern - mine was pink floral, my brothers had blue or green ones and they didn't have seperate ...

I was always nervous of using a sleeping bag but I think they were fairly new when I had my first few babies but I know they are very popular now. They do keep baby warm - they can't kick off blankets - but that was one reason I was nervous as I feared they'd overheat - now I am older I think I'd be more comfortable using one - on a ...

I change my own bedding weekly and the kids fortnightly - sometimes on rotation - boys one week, girls the next, but as my eldest is getting smellier (though he does shower!) I think I might start doing his every week.  Towels, I change the handtowel in the bathroom every day - 6 people, lots of grubby hands - it needs to be!  Bath ...

I am currently reading Clarissa and yes, the book is huge which is why I am VERY pleased that I was able to download it FREE on my kindle and read it in nine volumes (6 read) - it has spared aching arms and eyes let me tell you! Forever Amber is rather long too and I aim to read Wolf Hall and Anna Karenina shortly - also on Kindle.

Yeah, well, let's just say no wonder I wasn't great at GSCE History...though to be fair, the ones I got right I did remember from history - the others about politicians and speeches and music..we didn't cover that!

Thank you!  Saves me going through all the channels looking for it.  If anyone wants to put another reminder out on fb.....(ahem Sam...) that would help too

I loved this and I loved Gloria, it was very moving.  I agree with what Alison said about Liz Jensen's books all being very different.  I read The Rapture which almost terrified me.  Louis Drax was fab.  Adored this one and then there was the one about time travel which was a bit far out but still kind of interesting in a ...

I did watch it - I had the TV all to myself that night - which almost never happens!!  I really enjoyed it, fab cast.  Good to see 'John Stape' has managed a successful return from the dead and hasn't been typecast!  I almost didn't recognise Larry Lamb though.

I remember quite enjoying this but blowed if I can remember that much about the story!  It all runs together with Property and other similar books!
