.....I am soooo bored. At PILs house, they are lovely, really lovely but they don't want to do anything I am going slightly crazy. Thought I could download a good read onto my iPad. Any great recommendations? I like thrillers, mysteries, family sagas, romance - anything really!

Anything by Jo Nesbo, The Snowman for example.

I am currently reading Death in Seville, which is good.

R.J.Ellory is a godd author.

I got bought the journal of Dora Damage for Christmas which was quite fun to read. Not a 'heavy' book.

Oh yes - I've just finished the Snowman and really enjoyed it.

Have you read The Help, by Kathryn Stockett? That's great too.

Thanks I have just downloaded The Snowman, it was only £2.89 as a kindle book too!

I really enjoyed Making History by Stephen Fry. Also like Jeffrey Deaver books - trashy crime thrillers.

Ooh yes I like a bit of Jeffrey Deaver too! And Harlan Coben is worth a read but very simple and trashy Xmas Grin

The Passage -It is amazing I stayed up all night reading it.

Our Tragic Universe/Popco/The End of Mr Y by Scarlet Thomas are all rather fab imo.
