I've jumped on the Cloud Atlas wagon and just started it today. Only about 30 pages in so far, but I like it!

Has anyone read Molly Watson's In the Pink?  It looks cute; I'm tempted. 

Toby Young says "Molly Watson is our generation's Nancy Mitford and In the Pink is the 21st century equivalent of The Pursuit of Love."  I suspect that's a bit rich.  But Tatler calls it "jolly japes from a fresh young pen" and I must say, it's been ages since I've read any japes. 

(Other than those in Tatler, of course.)

Looks a bit like chick-lit .... with horses! But I could be wrong. I'd be willing to give it a try.

I think it's very much a 'chick-lit' type book -- it's certainly being marketed as such.  It wasn't until later that I noticed it's not fiction, but an account of Molly Watson and her sister's adventures in leaving the city.  The catch-phrase on the cover is "the countryside...it's not like the brochure." 

Should I actually get around to it, I'll let you know how I find it.

That actually sounds right up my alley - I'm never opposed to a bit of fluffy chick lit AND I'm quite devoted to watching Escape To The Country. I'll have to check it out at some point.  :D

That's a really good idea! So many of us seem to have read it (or are reading it). Let's do it! You be in charge, azroomie! Pick a date and time!

Escape to the country is my favourite "House Porn"!!  ;D

I am currently reading an advanced copy of a book called Born to Rule: Granddaughters of Victoria, Queens of Europe by Julia Gelardi. I'm a history buff and it is very good so far

I need the book version of comfort food right now so I'm reading The Forsyte Saga again.  I need to be in England, and I like the good juicy charicters.  It will take me through the summer to read it I'm sure.  Simon won't be here till December now - the September trip fell through due to work commitments - I need to take my mind off that and fill up my alone time.  This will have to suffice.
