OK, I have 3 hours on a train tomorrow, reccommend me a good book please!

I like chick lit. Love Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella et al but have all of those.

Any reccomendations?

I can't put anything by Jodi Picoult down!

Anything by Emily Barr - Out of My Depth, her most recent is good. Enjoy the journey, a chance to have peace and quite and read sounds lovely!

Polly Williams - The Rise and Fall of a Yummy Mummy - Fab and a bit more intelligent than the average chick lit

The new Marian Keyes one is great - Anybody out there - made me cry though!!

I am reading the Anybody out there book. I keep thinking just one more chapter until the kids are late for nursery or haven't been fed. Really enjoying it.

OOh didn't know MK had a new one out. Will buy it.

Have read rise and fall of tummy mummy thanks

Katie Long...Bad mothers handbook...sounds like a predictable new mummy book but isnt...best chicklit book ive read recently. Not as trashy as some.

I am reading nick hornby's A Long Way Down, it's funny and an easy read.

Jodi Picoult - My Sisters Keeper

The Dirty Bits For Girls by india knight.

Probably too late for your train trip but Fiona Walker's Kiss Chase is great. Also agree with THBM about Kate Long, and if you want something wit ha bit more welly, try Liza Cody's Gimme More. Or any of Jilly Cooper's big books, they're all fun.

i like anything by fiona walker

Try Caro Fraser. Not many people seem to have heard of her. She writes a lot of novels set in the legal world, great intrigues, lots of love affairs and bed hopping, but all done intelligently - gripping stuff.

The Time TRaveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (great name!!!!) - it's quite intense (ie not a chick-lit bit of froth) but a fab story.

loved the time travellers wife too, also have just read the devil wears prada, v lightweight but fun!

"The Interpretation of Murder"

www.amazon.ca/Interpretation-Murder-Jed-Rubenfeld/dp/product-description/0312427050

the lost art of keeping secrets by Eva Rice - brilliant!

The Insider by Piers Morgan. Totally brilliant.

I didn't like bad mothers handbook = what about no1 ladies detective agency - not harrowing and a wonderful pace of life.

Another thumbsup for 'The Time travellers Wife' loved it, did make me sob my heart out though, wouldn't want to read it in public

A bit out of date now but I recently read Notes on a Scandal. Haven't seen the film but thought it was a great read.

And you'd manage it in 3 hours.
