Scarlettangel Posted July 23, 2011 Share 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!!!!

narnia Posted July 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted July 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share 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!

Deb Posted July 25, 2011 Share 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.
