Hi geeks,

Look forward to your replies.

You are so kind, thank you x

The Devil Wears Prada is a fabulous read.....I guess unless you've seen the movie...which I haven't!

Although it's not chick lit (far from it!) I would recommend Martina Cole or Mandasue Heller books, very addictive reading, so good that you're guaranteed a fantastic tan as you won't move all day once you start to read them

 

[perfectbeauty]

totally agree with sandi

martina cole and mandasue heller they are the best

sandi, - if you like them you will also like sheila quigley

for funny books that are laugh out loud - i love janet evanovich - one for the money, two for the dough etc and also sophie kinsella shopaholic series

Cheers for that Nicola... another one to add to my list of 'must have' authors :green:
You always know when a new book from Martina has been released, you don't see me on the site for 2-3 days LMAO

 

[perfectbeauty]

LMAO... snap!!!
I've recently finished reading The Enchanted Wood and The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton, pinched them off my daughter when I'd run out of 'juicy' books lol

 

[Vanneb]

Definately agree with Martina Cole, esp: The Take, Two Women and the Runaway (my personal faves)

Danielle Steel: His bright Light - true story of her son. Very sad:cry:

Jilly Cooper - What I call 'Disposable reading' cos you read it and ditch it...perfect for the beach!!

James Patterson - Alex Cross series - all v.good

Hope you have a great time wherever you are going and whatever you choose to read.:hug:

'Be Careful What You Wish for' by Alexandra Potter

Andrea Semple,
Mike Gayle,

Thanks Sandi, I might give Martina Cole a try.....as a few friends have recommended her books.

 

[HAILZTONES]

Thanks everyone for your replies, I had a quick look in Asda and nothing really appealed to me in the chart fiction thats why I thought I'd ask you guys! Usually there's about 4 I like the look of and I can't decide......June/July is about the time when a lot of good juicy reads come out.

 

[Mrs Gadget]

Can also recommend Martina Cole and Janet Evanovich, absolutely fab reads.

I just had a look on woolworths website.....one I'm definately getting is 'How to kill your husband', by Kathy Lette, the write up sounds good lol!!!!:Grope:

 

[Kim@Talontastic]

Jill Mansells books are fab for the beach. I have most of them. My mum was sending them over last year while I was working in Greece. The Devil wears Prada is fab... so much better than the film. And a Cents and Sensibility is hillarious abit devil wears prada but based in London.

Enjoy the beach

 

[estherlou]
