I need 3 holiday reads

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

Off on holiday in a week or so
kids old enough to decide we are far too boring so will be a very peaceful week 😂
Thought it would be good to try the following

1. light easy fiction
2. one biography/autobiography
3. one non fiction

So any recommendations for all or any of those categories would be fab TIA

i second the Salt Path by Raynor Winn, not sure if it is biography or non fiction.
mybookclub has just read Where are the Grown Ups by Ruth Begley, haunting account of how the perinatal death in the 1930s affected the next two generations. Very thought provoking. It is a fictionalised account if her family’s story.
If you haven’t read Where the Craw Dads Sing it’s a good read, and someone else mentioned the Strike books and C J Samson’s books are a historical fiction at its most enjoyable.

I can’t think of a non-fiction I’ve read recently bar ultra-processed people… and whilst that was good it’s not really an easy read!

all time favourite list would be:
fiction: the midnight library
autobiography: letters to my fanny by cherry healey (although I’m hugely interested in making the Alan Rickman diaries my next read!)
non fiction: French children don’t throw food

Fiction- anything by Barbara Pym.
Non-fiction- Full Tilt by Dervla Murphy.

Mine

1. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
2. Slash and Keith Richard's Autos are good
3. The Executioners Song by Norman Mailer although written in the 70s is compelling. I'm currently also reading David Starkey's book on the Kings and Queens of England

Fiction: any of the Thursday Murder Club series.

Keep hearing about this book and I think it's going to be a Netflix series

Life, Death & Vanilla slices by Jenny Eclair.

Bob Mortimer - And away

Any Bob Bryson

Blimey
Loads of ideas
thank you

Absolutely not It Ends With Us unless you want to start a bonfire on the beach.

😂

So I've ordered lessons in chemistry and the five
Going to download a couple of others for mykindle

Non fiction wise, I haven't read it but really fancied Femina - a new history of the Middle Ages focussing on the women who've been written out of history.

Easy read - Early Morning Riser
Autobiography - Open (Agassi)
Non-fiction - Humankind

Fun, lighthearted, holiday fiction. Jodi Taylor, The St Mary's Chronicles. Book 1
'Just One Damned Thing After Another'

Historical, fantasy, time travel; with brilliant characters and a lovely, easy to read style. (And if you like it there are loads more in the series
