Hello everyone. I am a bit late catching up on this topic but I would like to add to all your comments which I find fascinating to read. I love reading especially now that I am retired and have a lot more time to myself. I read mostly when we are down at our caravan in Porthmadog as I find that we can both 'switch off' there and totally chill out. I love crime thrillers and two of my favourite authors are Harlen Coben and James Patterson. I have just recently discovered Jillianne Hoffman and her book 'Retribution' was very powerful stuff. I also like Ken Follett. My second favourite place to read is in bed here at home, all snuggled up in my duvet and lots of pillows - sheer decadence eh?
