Going on holiday alone (well with dd).. need some good book recommendations...

[MascaraOHara]

It's the only chance I ever seem to get to really read, I normally take 3 books for a week

Do you have any recommendations. I've not picked up a book since last Septembers holiday where I read.. Year OfThe Roasted Ear, 100 Years of Solitude and then started Hotel Honolulu (which I couldn't get into)

I need something that will grip me.

I like thrillers, stories based on experiences, and soppy books... I only ever finish abook i f I literally can not put it down.

Thought about finally trying to read Memoirs of a Geisha or also White Teeth as I've not read either but not sure.. need inspiration to be honest.

Everyone in my bookclub (all female) loved 'The Star of the Sea' by Joseph O' Connor and 'The Conjuror's Bird' by Martin Davies.

Have a lovely holiday!

Oooo thank you, I will google them this evening.

Currently reading Getting Rid of Matthew which is a page turner and strikes me as a really good holiday read. I can recommend both Memoirs of a Geisha and White Teeth, both are fab (although White Teeth was lacking in research a little IMO).

memoirs of a geisha is on my shelf at the minute so that's a definite one then..

Fingers crossed this is all I have to worry about.

I've just read "Home" by Manju Kapur - really enjoyed it.

I read White Teeth - really enjoyed it.
