...even Nora Roberts' supernatural trilogies, :<img class=' /> , but mostly the books I loved growing up and want to return to the stories. There are books that I've kept that no one else has ever heard of (Fog Magic; Ferret in the Bathroom, Lizard in the Fridge; Ghost in the Garden) that take all of an hour or less to read, but bring back some of the magic of my childhood.

And then there's Trixie Belden, who I can always turn to in a jam!

If I just need a semi break, I go Misty Lackey, Douglas Adams, Xanth, etc.

Pratchett because it's so comfortable, and Matt Reilly because it involves no thinking *NM* DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 18/04/2011 08:17:36 PM 413 Views
