These are the books I'm currently reading....
Georgiana; Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman; I'm reading Georgiana for the third time - the first was on holiday in the Florida Keys; an American guy tried to buy it for his wife whilst we were on a boat trip - we'd got into a conversation about the Duchess of Devonshire and that Chatsworth House wasn't far from where I live (its actually about 30 miles away but that's not considered far in America....) - I hadn't finished it so I wouldn't part with it, but before I left the States I mailed it to his wife because I'd finished it by then. 
A Superior Death by Nevada Barr; the 'Anna Pigeon' mysteries are a bit like Nancy Drews for grownups - I have them all on my e-reader which is currently broken so I am having to read it on my PC which is a pain in the derriere, but there you go....so far, this one is not as good as the others but maybe that has something to do with my irritation with the loss of my Sony e-reader.... 
The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama: This is a lovely book - it's like the Alexander McCall Ladies' Detective Agency stories without the patronising attitude, only this is set in India and its about a Marriage Bureau...its light and unchallenging which is great at bedtime...I have a habit of reading until I fall asleep and often get woken up by the book slapping me across the face when I nod off. Which means I start over and end with another slap in the face...obviously, hardbacks hurt more. 
Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled?: Beat Hormone Havoc and Feel Better Fast by Richard Shames and Karilee Halo Shames OK, this is not light bedtime reading. Again, its stuck on my computer as an e-book because my Sony Reader has died and is about to go back to Sony (9 months use and then it breaks down at an original cost of over £200? Not good, Sony!) Anyway, I digress...this book argues that being overweight, having depression, arthritis and being infertile (amongst other things) are all the products of hormonal inbalances within a body's system and that this can be rectified in some way...(haven't got to that bit yet because this is hard work and I'm lazy when it comes to reading and I desperately want to know if Anna Pigeon catches the bad guys who 'dunnit....' And anyway, I know why I feel Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled and its mostly to do with eating chocolate....
