Hi, while I love deeper books In so busy with life at the moment that I'm after an easy read with a bit of humour to take ne away from my stresses and strains. The funny side of life, parenting, working mum etc. Thanks Smile

Try anything by India Knight. Ver, ver funny although the last book pissed me off a little. Also Alison Pearson "I don't know how she does it" is funny and shortly to be released as a filum.

Also Marian Keys is by parts hilarious and sad. I absolutely love her books.

I love Belinda Jones' books. They're all set in a foreign country and the way she writes it's just like being there Smile

Any of the Miss Read books about being a country school teacher. There are loads of them and you can usually get them in charity shops for about 50p. Written in the 1950s-70s but funny and very soothing - nothing really bad ever happens. Slightly shockingly casual attitude to dv and child neglect, but it's of its time. I read a whole one this morning when I woke up at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep (have caught flu thing from dcs so hours a bit erratic at the mo!)
