Books for my holiday

[Tootiredforgodtyping]

Two weeks without the usual distractions! What shall I read, what amazing books have i missed since DS was born a year ago? I can't be doing with horror or other grusome stuff, and I don't want to take hardbacks on the plane ;-)

Have you read The Time Travelors Wife?
I just finished Rapture which I would recommend.

I've read the time travellers wife, its one f my favourite ever books!

The Help

Fraction of the Whole

Tony & Susan

Audrey Niffenegger's new one is good but very differnt from TTW

Whats it called?

Her fearful Symmetry

here

I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry now and really enjoying it so far. DD1 has just read it though and says it gets really silly - I am hoping that she is wrong!

You do have to suspend your disbelief and go with it but I really enjoyed it too

do you want proper books? or holidy reads?

my best holiday reads are barbara taylor bradfords a woman of substance or rosamund pilchers coming home.

oldies but goodies

oh that jilly cooper one about school is also a good holiday book...

I highly recommend American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld - the best book I've read in ages...

One of my favourite books is Cinammon Wharf, it ticks all the boxes and would be a great holiday read.

I loved American Wife. Was a very good book.

I loved American Wife too!

A vote for Coming Home here!

Gone With The Wind and Far Pavillions are also great holiday reads and so long you only need to take one book.

Got to be Wolf Hall if you haven't got to it yet (I haven't, can't wait for summer).

Victoria Hislop or maybe Anita Shreve?

The children's Book By A.S. Byatt would be my choice.

Her Fearful Symmetry had a very stupid ending - forgot to come back and say!

i'm back now and I loved wolf hall, the white queen, phillipa gregory, and mister pip. One day by davd nicholls was my fav though - brilliant book.
