I also love Jay Northcote's books. Well written with common characters and low angst stories.

I love books from UK especially JL Merrow,Joanna Chambers, Jay Northcote and Matthew Metzger. Prefer the ones with more colloquial language n mannersims. Do you have other recommendations for UK authors?


message 316: by Michaele (new)

Michaele | 6551 comments I like Josephine Miles, but she's a bit quirky - she's kinda similar to JL Merrow.

Task 8 - 52. Read 6 7 books with the same color cover, teams decide color.

As a team select a color, then read 6 books with covers that are primarily the selected color. Books selected need to be clearly and obviously the selected color! You can use any edition’s cover to qualify. Please include the chosen color and the qualifying cover in your completion posts.
