For fiction, I mostly read thrillers and crime, some of my favourite authors are - Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, Tess Gerritsen, Tami Hoag and Patricia Cornwell. I occasionally read horrors too, Shaun Hutson, Richard Laymon and Anne Rice are among my favs. I also like reading about real life crime, anything Egyptian, it facinates me to no end, I like reading about animals too.

I just love a good murder book, serial killers are best, I find it makes real life seem so much better by comparison ;D, although I have this problem...........don't like admitting it but am unable to eat unless I'm reading something so have been known to read in great detail the ingredients on food packaging, last weeks newspapers anything really....ssshhhh don't tell anyone though

I like real life crime(ended up taking my criminology A level four years ago at the age of 43 because of my obsession)and murder books.I also like James Patterson and absolutley love Harlan Corben who I stumbled across on holiday this tear and read all 13 of his books in two weeks.
