Ok I know I'm sad but recommend me a book to put on my NY reading list !

[pyjamagirl]

I am writing a list of all the books I want to read (and reread) this year ,is there any you lovely mumsnetters would recommend?

I like most things like esp horror and thrillers also enjoy some chicklit

I do not like sci -fi or fantasy

thankyou

Sepulchre by Kate Mosse, and her other book, Labyrinth...gripping

Have you read any Harlen Coben? Very gripping stories, real thrillers. I think Tell No One was his first.

ooh thanks all sounds good so far

barbara ewing - superior chicklit (her characters are great) -with historical theme - try rosetta

Anything by Phil Rickman for supernatural crime. You will love him.

I really enjoyed Mo Hayder's 'Birdman' and 'The Treatment'. Really good horror/crime. Prepare to be shocked!!

ohh thanks everyone list is looking good

I love any Martina Cole books, just started reading her new one 'Faces'

I've done the Martina cole ones I don't want to put you off but faces is a bit rubbish

She just seems to have mashed it together !

thankyou though x

I really like - 'Time traveller's wife' it was really different and thought provoking.

For scary have you read Graham Masterton's - 'Through the Mirror' terrifying!

Maeve Binchy is good for 'light reading'.

And of course - Ian Banks is good too.

I will definatley have to Give Mo Hayder a go now it's been recommended twice!

I couldn't do the Time travellers wife someone told me it's a love it or hate it book and I think I'm a hate it

I love Maeve Binchy though x

Nicci French?

the last 3 books i've read are:

the house at riverton

shopaholic and baby (utter trash)

the kite runner

I heard the House at Riverton was badly researched and full of historical innacuracies - enough to put me off reading it. What did you think?

Agent ZigZag by Ben Macintyre
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

I've just bought House at Riverton.....I really hope its good!

i like all joanne harris books. gentleman and players was very good, twists and turns right to the end. enjoy your reading (fsmile)

i loved the house at riverton, but am now pondering what the historical inaccuracies could be...will go and read amazon reviews, why don't you start another thread?

I have read House at Riverton and enjoyed, but my best book of 2007 was The Book Thief. Touching and dark, innovatively written- I HIGHLY recommend it!

Also agree with SSSuit, and really enjoyed Time Travellers Wife. Great book!

I've just read the Thirteenth Tale and absolutely loved it. I can't remember who wrote it but I couldn't put it down- fantastic twists in it!
