I've have literally hundreds of books and love to read. I've just finished Ice Trap by Kitty Sewell, which was excellent, and I'm about to start reading Notes On A Scandal by Zoe Heller, for a book group I'm a member of.

I love Torey Hayden as well - her books are real stories about the challenging children she has taught over the years.

Iv'e finished reading Chantelle's autobiography twice now. Loves it, but I have to take it back to the library soon.

I'm just about finishing Ulrika Jonssons aughtobiography, which Iv'e been reading on and off for the past few months. It's soo good. She's been through a lot of ****, some parts are so sad.

And soon I hope to find and then read my copy of 'The Truth About Diamonds', because I only started it and then lost it.

I wish I could get into books. In the past when I used to read books that I liked I used to absolutely love reading. But I find it really difficult yo 'get into' books now which is a shame cos I would love to be able to read more often.

I can't find my copy of 'The Truth About Diamonds', but I went to my libary today to see if there was one there. They don't have any left in Swansea, but they can try and order one in Camarthen, so I need to wait for a week or so to get it!

My favourite top 5 books are:

1) Frankenstein 9/10
3) Cysgod y Cryman (welsh) 10/10
4) Y Stafell Ddirgel (welsh) 7/10
2) To Kill a Mockingbird 8/10
5) Ac Yna Clywodd Swn Y Mor (welsh) 8/10

-I read Frankenstein at the start of this year for my AS level english lit. exams in June.
-I read To Kill a Mockingbird for GCSE english lit. It was very meaty, and although it was a heavy read it was such a likeable tale.
-I read Y Stafell Ddirgel for my Welsh Lit, GCSE exam, it was OK, but it was all gog welsh, and the language was very sophisticated. It was very heavy and I felt sometimes that it didn't have as much meat as To Kill a Mockingbird.
-I read Ac Yna Clywodd Swn Y Mor when I was in year 9 - loved it!!!

The novice by Trudi canavan for those who like fantasy, for deeper stuff the writers and psychologists Leo bascaglia,Dr Wayne Dyer and the brilliant life and how to cope with it by Dr robin skinner and John Cleese.For a good read Lovely bones and The book of lost things by John Connelly.I like every kind of writing from the Tibetan book of living and dying to Harry Potter to James Joyce.But one of my favourite writers is Stephen King .His genre may seem to be horror but in his writing he shows a deep insight into human nature and spins a great yarn ,I feel the sign of a good book is you hate getting to the end.You dont want it to finish.Thats how I feel about Steven kings books.

OMG! I am soo in love with The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole. It's brilliant! It's all about drug and fame, and this really horrible character called Simone is based on Paris.
