Depends on what kind of thing you like sweetie

I think Ken Follet Pillars of the Earth is a great holiday read

engleby by sebastion faulkes
cats eyes by margaret atwood
any of the jackson brodie trilogy by kate atkinson.

I read Alan Carr's book whilst visiting my MIL - I needed a laugh and it was an easy read, if you like him. It's now available in PB but I had the HB edition.

Something not hugely heavy , i like murder mysteries and thrillers as much as i like Maeve Binchy - as long as its not politics or a really heavy read really!

Kate Mosse labyrinth strikes me as a good beach read. Buddah Da is funny as long as you are Ok with the dialect.

I dunno, I never read books on holiday

If you like murder mystery try some James Patterson, either the Alex Cross series or the Womens Murder Club series.

'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro

or

'Cold Mountain' by Charles Frazier

the Womens Murder Club series.

this sounds interesting, not read any of these (have read all the Alex Cross series)

If you want very light and fluffeh...try Katie FForde.

If you want something 'off the wall' try Jasper FForde as well.

Or you read any of Cecilia Aherne

Yeah... it's not a bad book and not too taxing for a holiday read. It's a bit of a sci-fi romance.

I liked Labyrinth, but her second book was a disappointment

Have you read any of Lee Child's books ?

Recently read Karen Rose - Scream for Me & Die for Me which i thought were both brill .

I enjoyed 'Labyrinth'.

Not too heavy, MM? I've worked my way through Dan Brown's catalogue this summer...and now can't wait for his new book due out.
