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
Seasoned street cat spent over 500 days deciding if the persistent people
who care for him are really willing to make him their indoor king: ‘We fed
[him] outdoors for a year and a half.’

The patience it takes to adopt some cats is truly profound. But the result
of having a floofy feline ruling over your home is always worth it.
Some cat ado...

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.
