help me find a holiday read please!

[NotYoMomma]

I would like to read something with a good adventure and a bit of romance thrown in too.

I've been on a bit of a literary kick recently reading beautiful books but I am currently just after a fast paced easy read that will make me smile!

Does anyone have any recommendations please?

I'm thinking something like 'The Mummy' film but in book form.

I will read any genre!

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.

I actually own that but not read it yet! Thanks x

Dracula

Frankenstein

Vlad: The Last Confession (but this is v gory, if that bothers you)

The Sherlock Holmes stories - no romance except Watson for Holmes though!

Across The Nightingale Floor and its follow ups - this is YA but is v good and lots of romance, as well as lots of adventure!

Around The World In Eighty Days

The Hunger Games (if you don't mind a bit of killing as well!) Not the sort of book I usually read but thoroughly enjoyed this recently

What about "the other boyleyn sister" I watched it last night and still thinking of it today.
Book is much better than the film.
Yes to the hunger games

Elizabeth Peters wrote several very entertaining romantic thrillers, which usually feature a young American woman abroad, getting embroiled in a mystery usually involving archaeology or antiques. and a handsome man always pops up at some point. My favourite is Legend In Green Velvet, set in Scotland, and I also like The Jackal's Head (Egypt), The Dead Sea Cipher (the Holy Land), Summer of the Dragon (Arizona), Night of Four Hundred Rabbits (Mexico), The Camelot Caper (England).
