Guest Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I am compiling a holiday reading pile because this summer I too have no uni work to do!! (Will be back to it in September though!!!) I really enjoyed "Sisters" (Rosamund Lupton) and so have bought another one of hers but not got to it yet!! I bought "So much for that" (Lionel Shriver) as a friend recommended it. "The Loop" too is on my pile. Nicholas Evans I have also bought the new one by Karin Slaughter because I do like all types of genre. Will look forward to hearing what others have on their list!!!!

AnonyMouse_1469 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Try Diana Gabaldon if you like historic romance with a bit of whoaarrr (!) any of Tess Gerritsons detective stories.......blood curdling, really good .....................or reread the Harry Potter books or Philip Pullmans 'dark materials' trilogy Quote
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 a laugh out loud book The tent the bucket and me - Emma kennedy also same author I left my tent in San Francisco - not quite as funny but a very light-hearted read. (both available on kindle ) Quote
Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Anything by Sophie Kinsella /Madeline Wickham bar the shopaholic ones. I ordered Remember Me! from Amazon it arrived at lunchtime & I had finished by bed time! Needless to say I didn't do much else during that time! Quote
AnonyMouse_705 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Try Diana Gabaldon if you like historic romance with a bit of whoaarrr (!) Sounds good to me! Currently reading 'The Tent the Bucket and me' - good fun especially if you had to endure camping holidays as a child (we had an old army tent at one point, the smell of that canvas will always be with me - nothing but fond memories though )....though the author does seem to have had more than their fair share of disastrous holidays. A very witty observation of early camping experiences. I've also got Michael McIntyre's autobiography 'Life and Laughing: My Story' downloaded onto my Kindle ready and waiting - the reviews on that seemed very good. Considering downloading Dawn French's latest 'A Tiny Bit Marvellous'. Look forward to getting some more ideas for a good summer read. Quote
AnonyMouse_30147 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Victoria Hislop is good and if you've not read it Room by I think Emma Donahue Quote
