I'm always fascinated to know what other people are reading, and like many authors I usually have several books on the go at once. In fact, I get palpitations if I don't!
My tastes vary enormously, sometimes depending on what stage in the writing process I'm at myself... If I'm writing a first draft I try to steer clear of books which are in the same genre as my own, so I'll go for a nice juicy thriller instead. But if I'm editing then pretty much anything goes! The selection here is just a small sample of what I've been reading over recent weeks.
