Can someone recommend a book or two for my holidays?

Light and entertaining please.

I’ve enjoyed Caitlin Moran, Louise Weiner and the why mummy drinks books on recent trips.

You might like this. It is not a huge book. If you don't mind quirky it will probably make you smile. I loved it. It is one of 'Our' book club books.

I'm late to the game with this but I am finally reading Michelle Obama's Becoming
Loving it.

or how about David Nicholl's new book Sweet Sorrow

Sorry I realised I may have missed the 'light' part with 'Becoming' but I think it hits the 'entertaining' bit!

Nconvenience store woman is now on my list thanks.

I’ve actually read becoming and loved it.

I’ve just realised gill sims has a new book out too so that’s going with me too.

I am reading The Prison Doctor by Amanda Brown at the moment and obviously loved Adam Kay's this is going to hurt.

Eleanor oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman. Loved it

You might like Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. For a feminist data book, it's really funny!

The new Gill Sims book is good, finished it last week. Other books I've enjoyed this year:

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
A Man Called Ove
Calling Major Tom
Apple Tree Yard
This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay

Bumping this in case there are any more recommendations as I’m looking for some light holidays reads too.

Um, depends what you like, @glittertissues !
But: light, fun sci-fi - anything by Lois McMaster Bujold
Feminist dystopian near-future: Sheri Tepper
Sci-fi: Becky Chambers, Ann Leckie
Crime with a dash of romance: JD Robb, SR Garrae
Straight crime: Henning Mankell, Tess Gerritsen, LJ Ross
Crime with magic: Ben Aaronovitch
Paranormal romance: Patricia Briggs, Thea Harrison, Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews.

Oh, and Terry Pratchett. How could I forget him!

This was a good holiday read, recommended by a friend and I don't usually read fiction but it was good.

I have seen people raving about the cows. That's next on my list.
I just finished "the holiday" by t.m Logan which id say is deffo a holiday light read.

F. Scott Fitzgerald , short stories.

The School Run by Helen Whitaker is a funny look at parenting today with a sexy vicar to boot!

Mum's on Strike by Laura Kemp - "It was just a squashed grape on the kitchen floor. Hardly a reason to get upset, right?...So when her husband deliberately steps over the grape because it’s ‘her responsibility’ to run the house, it tips her over the edge" - this book made me laugh

The Great Ex-Scape by Jo Watson

Quite a lot of F Scott Fitzgerald short stories don't fit into "light" in my book! They're a great read but quite heavy plots, as in depressing subject matter.

Yes Man by Danny Wallace.

Recommended it lots of times and every person has thanked me.
Very funny and thought provoking.
