Tony Parsons writes great books about relationships a lot like Marian Keyes but from a mans perspective as well.

I've just started reading "he'll be ok" by Celia Lashlie, also reading "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt, & "the Wombles" by Elisabeth Beresford- I tend to have several completely different books on the go at the same time. Addicted to Diana Gabaldon. Parenting wise Nigel Latta's books are brilliant. What books have you read & enjoyed?]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:10:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34548&PID=1089430&title=book-recommendations#1089430 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34548&PID=1089420&title=book-recommendations#1089420 Author: anon

I really like Rosamunde Pilcher. But you might not find the attraction. I love it because she writes about Scotland, Cornwall and London - and I have spent quite a bit of time in 3 of those places. But they're quite nice stories too. You could start with the Shell Seekers.]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:04:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34548&PID=1089420&title=book-recommendations#1089420 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34548&PID=1089410&title=book-recommendations#1089410 Author: RinTinTin

There might have been a thread about this awhile back but Im too lazy to go searching for it. I love to read and I am always going to the library so I was wondering if anyone has any good book recommendations?

I'm not into fantasy/sci fi books. Prefer ones that are more real life or chick lit, quite like biographies too.

Also, has anyone read any good books in raising children/ development etc??]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:45:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34548&PID=1089381&title=book-recommendations#1089381
