    Carlos Ruiz Zafon: The Shadow of the Wind
    The discovery of a forgotten book leads to a hunt for an elusive author who may or may not still be alive...This book was a real page-turner. I couldn't put it down.

  • Amitav Ghosh: The Hungry Tide

    Amitav Ghosh: The Hungry Tide
    The Hungry Tide is a rich, exotic saga set in Calcutta and in the vast archipelago of islands in the Bay of Bengal. Beautifully written and believable, well-rounded characters.


  • Michela Wrong: In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz

    Michela Wrong: In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz
    Wonderfully written and an interesting portayal of the Congo and its extraordinary dictator Mobutu. The sheer level of corruption that took place under Mobutu means that in some ways this book reads as fiction rather than fact.

  • Jane Fletcher Geniesse: Passionate Nomad
    A fascinating book about the life of Freya Stark. I really didn't know very much about her - what an amazing woman.
  • Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
    This is an extraordinary novel about moral courage and cowardice, human flaws and forgiveness set against the backdrop of Afghanistan. It gives a fantastic insight into Afghani culture and about how societies cope when they are uprooted and have to start again.
  • Ian Rankin: Fleshmarket Close
    You can't beat Rankin or Rebus for memories of Edinburgh.
  • William Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Large and lardy!!

On AU summit day we were all getting pretty hungry after hours and hours of hanging around..as I'm sure the leaders were too who didn't take a break during the discussions.

I was chatting to a photographer at about 6pm who was saying that he really needed to have something to eat. He then looked down at my stomach and said that I obviously didn't - I looked like I'd eaten a lot, he said!!!

Admittedly my stomach was and still is sticking out. I wasn't quite sure whether I should tell him I'm six months pregnant.
