    <body><![CDATA[I like Katie Fforde.  Her books are light, fluffy, girly, occasionally funny, and always a nice escape between reading deeper material. They're kind of comfort books - I know they aren't going to demand anything of me, but I'll always see something to make me smile.  I also like the fact that I usua...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12171507">more...</a>]]></body>

I haven't read any of Fforde's other books, but it looks like they are all centered around gardening.. not sure if I want to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11388129">more...</a>]]></body>
