I need a new reading list

Totally void of new books. I have read, and liked:

Little Earthquakes / In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner

All the Marian Keyes books

All J.D Salingers books

Most of Jodi Picoult's books, not her latest as the last few I have read are a bit samey-samey and pretty much follow a similar format

All the Twilight Saga books

Point me in the right direction... going to be stuck on a plane for nine hours, need to have a few goods books to nosy over!

Don't know if you have seen this (possibly - I quite often link to it)

Put in the name of the authors you like, and it will show you others you may also enjoy.

I can recommend East of Eden (Steinbeck) and The Road - (Cormac McCarthy). Both names come up if you put in J.D. Salinger. Have a play with it

I recommend Kate Atkinson and Rose Tremain.

Thanks for the link KurriKurri. I put these two authors in and found Barbara Trapido came up for both, so I've ordered a couple off Amazon, they get very good reviews and are just the sort of thing I like.

That';s interesting FF - I like Barbara Trapido and Kate Atkinson. I have 2 Rose Tremain on my bookshelf (I think one has been there for 10years as someone bought it for me to take on honeymoon !) and I've never read them. I Must !

It's remarkably accurate I think, I've found several new authors that I've really enjoyed from the recommendations.
