Looking for some inspiration really, apart from Philipa Gregory's The Boleyn Inheritance I have no other recommendations.

Open thread really so any genre of books welcome.

The Ex-boyfriends handbook
made me laugh, predictable, but good for escaping into, totally couldn't put t down, even went to dinner with MIL with the book in hand as i NEEDED to finish it

I'm looking for some new inspiration too, so will check out your recco and come back to this thread. Lately I've enjoyed :
Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
Salley Vickers - The Other Side of You
Kate Atkinson - Case Histories
I'm also looking forward to JM Coetzee - Slow Man and Patrick McGrath - Ghost Town, Tales of Manhattan Then and Now

Dh got my Dear Charlie by Reg Thompson for Christmas. Very sad had me in tears but very deep made me change my attitude towards dc when I'm having a bad day and they are driving me mad. Reg is Charlotte's father and when she was killed crossing a railway junction in December 2005 aged 13 his life ended he wrote letters to her to keep her alive telling her want was going on with him his wife and sons. Explaining when he went places they had last visited together. Very moving I'd recommend any parent to read it it really left me feeling so special that I have my children and gave me a greater love for parents who have lost theirs.
