I agree with Leah, Memoirs of a Geisha is a wonderful book. I read it about a year or two ago and thought it was great. One book which I've loved for years is The Little White Horse . I actually think that my mom got it for me because it was one of the books that JK Rowling said inspired her. But i...

I have a copy of 'Jack the Ripper: Cased Closed' Skye, it's by Patricia Cornwell, right? I haven't read though, I haven't had time, is it any good?

I don't think this one has been mentioned, but I might have missed it. Some good books by Diana Jones would be her Chrestomanci series.
