Thank you for liking Full Circle so much - I feel your reading is going much more chick lit-ish these days, as I said, and that is the lightest of my books!!!! Interesting choices, good to read (see, I looked out the blog even though you forgot the link on the Monday Blogs tweet!!!!!!). I think Jill Mansell is one of the more readable chick lit writers; I did buy one of hers once and quite liked it. And may I take a special bow of smugness for introducing you to Emily Barr??!! xx
