Holiday reads

Just finished See you in September by Charity Norman and really enjoyed it. Liked her other books too.. have great holiday!

Rosie Thomas - The Potters Wheel is 99p today on Amazon kindle and is brilliant.

I find Katie Fforde is a light hearted read sort of a bit romantic but not too slushy. Lisa Jewell is also quite good, the one I particularly liked was I found you. Freya North. If you like crime novels but are short chapters that you can pick up and put down I love James Patterson - Womens Murder Club. Hope you find this useful. Enjoy your Holiday

Anything by Katie Fforde - perfect holiday reading! I love her books

And thanks from me too...in the same situation,?

Dorothy Koomson The Friend.
Amanda Prowse The Art of Hiding and I'm just reading St Christopher and the Gravedigger by Catherine Cookson. Got it as a freebie, but I can't stop reading it.

I've now loaded up my kindle with most of the books suggested. Looking forward to a relaxing holiday. Thanks everyone.x

suzied I enjoyed The Missing wife.

I have also read the last 2 GN book club books.
They both made good light reading.
The book I have just finished on my Kindle is also a good holiday read.

I agree Rosie Thomas is a great writer, every book is different.
Iris and Ruby, set in Egypt, White, set on Everest, are two of my favourites. She does her research well. I haven't read them all yet!
I've just read The Trouble with Seep and Goats, it took me right back to the summer of 76!

Our Souls at Night by Kent Hanuf isn't very long,easy to read but poignant and a life affirming read.

Try Jane Tulloch, one of our gransnetters. I thoroughly enjoyed her first book about an Edinburgh department store, Our Best Attention and have just downloaded her latest.

I read a good one on holiday called the Missing Wife - a good holiday read

Thank you all so much. I'll have a read up of books suggested, I especially like the idea of 99p ones. I have read
'The Book Thief' and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to loading up kindle ?

I loved The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah.

I am never up to date, but recently I really enjoyed ' Small Great Things' by Jodie Piccoult - deals with issues of racism / white supremacy (topical!) and I loved 'The Book Thief' by Marcus Zusak (WW2 setting) and a quirky and beautifully observed story called 'Perfect' by Rachel Joyce - about childhood into adolescence with a touching adult love story.

I hope you have a lovely holiday - deciding what to take as a read is a lovely part of it. x

For easy reading I like Monica McInerney, she has written lots of books and they are lovely stories of family life.

I've just read Lie with Me on Kindle - brilliant sorry don't have author's name to hand as I have deleted it now. It was a 99p one though I think.

I've just discovered Rosie Thomas. The Kashmir Shawl was in Kindle's 99p list and it was very good. I got another of hers out of the library and couldn't put it down. She's my find of the year!
