No, I’m not talking about Bookcrossing. I mean those books you find when you stay in, say, a holiday cottage, or perhaps a guest house somewhere. There’ll be a shelf of select titles kicking around, and depending on what you’ve brought with you, and the offering available, you might read one or two of them.
But the list of authors is usually pretty limited. Here are some of the authors you will find, in no particular order:
Catherine Cookson
Jack Higgins
Wilbur Smith
A random Mills & Boon
Virginia Andrews
