Welcome Mary!

Happy to have you aboard.
It looks like Empress Orchid gets the thumbs down from you. I haven't read it so cannot judge. I'm still not reading much, as soon as I start my eyes seem to close. In two weeks I shall be leaving for my holiday so if anyone has any thoughts on which books would do well on a big family holiday. Let me know, my concentration levels may still be poor so books with a strong plot or unput-down- able story. Cathy
