"Gulls of the World, A Photographic Guide" by Klaus Malling Olsen. Despite the title it is not just photographs. I love gulls. Most people seem to hate them.

"Fallon", by Louis L'Amour. He's one of my all-time favorite authors!! I don't know if it's an actual genre, but I call his books "historic fiction"----he writes about when the West was being settled. It's GREAT, so far!!

That's a great book :). I found it very imaginative and funny. What do you think of it? 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There' is excellent as well.

I've just finished:

C. L. Taylor: The lie
B. A. Paris: Behind closed doors + the breakdown
Shari Lapena: The couple next door
Hollie Overton: Baby doll

Baby doll was the weakest of them, but not bad. The other 4 were very exciting.
