Strangely enough, given that I'm so anti-the-deification-of-Diana, I'm reading The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown. I'm interested to see what the human being was like, rather than the media image. I'm on p.124 and so far it seems reasonably impartial, but then this is at the courtship stage, so I wonder how the book will progress when it reaches the more media-savvy Diana.
Naturally, I have more than one book on the go and a selection of others from my reading pile are The Ladykiller by Martina Cole (read before but I picked up a copy for a few quid; didn't notice how awful it was before reading it as a writer. The headjumping and telling-not-showing is an utter disgrace. I don't know how this shit gets published but it makes me feel better about my own writing), How Did I Get Here? by Barbara De Angelis and Barefoot Soldier by Johnson Beharry, V.C.
I really need to start reading more novels, in particular YA.
