  Go on girls, be truthful.

Who's not read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and wondered - just for second - what it would be like to step into that much-loved dating heartland and bag a dashing (rich/generous) fella like Darcy.

It seems the good people of ITV think the same and their new series - Lost in Austen - starts this autumn...

WOODCHURCH Library is basking in the great outdoors this summer by launching Wirral's first reading garden - what a fantastic idea.

Never judge a book by its cover?

Yeah right. There's only one reason why I selected The Dolphin People by Torsten Krol.

A reviewer on the cover who called it: "A mythical epic which might just be the new Life of Pi."

When will I learn never to trust these people?

I remember when I finished Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach.

I burst into tears and looked at my other half, who was looking distinctly unimpressed.

For years my annual summer treat to myself has been to choose a book at the airport ahead of flying out on a (hopefully hot/glamorous/luxurious) holiday...

There were books. Lots of books.

Actually, that's a lie...
