It's the title of a tv programme but I'm going to steal it for the books I've read over the last couple of weeks.
Date:
Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King; Mister B Gone by Cliver Barker; The Blue Bedroom and other Stories by Rosamunde Pilcher; Twilight Children by Torey Hayden; The Dirty Secrets Club by Meg Gardiner; Old Pittenweem by Eric Eunson; Girl in a Pink Hat by Nanzie McLeod; The Slab Boys by John Byrne; Tutti Frutti by John Byrne. I'd go on a second date with John Byrne, Torey Hayden and Rosamunde Pilcher.
Marry:
Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb, and Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper: not even a pre-nup needed for a long-term relationship with these.
Avoid:
The Shakespeare Secret by J L Carrell (should be interesting but too contrived)
Mercy by Jodi Picoult (didn't like the characters and didn't care about the dilemma. Also hated the Brigadoonery of the Scottish characters)
Day 278; Book 265
Good Samaritan rescues 4 kittens from insane woman who was putting them in
a sleeping bag and planning to throw them in the water, reminding us that
amongst the bad, there are still kind people in the world
-
In places where there are a lot of street cats, it is important for the
residents to be informed of what to do when you encounter a kitten that is
alone....

I'm quite partial to the Meg Gardiner, and I want to read the Robin Hobbs. I thought Cycle of the Werewolf was very minor Stephen King, but I haven't read it in 20 years.
