Always stock our cases with piles of books so we can catch up on our reading while away.Nothing nicer than whiling away the day reading and watching the world go by alternately.
Last years favourites included
A thousand splendid suns
The kite runner
Time travellers wife
Along with the usual Grishams etc.Also decided to start catching up with stuff last read in school so re-read To kill a Mockingbird.
Already got the latest Gerald Seymour and John Grisham.What are you all seeing on the sunbeds shading peoples faces this year?

No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay - fantastic read with a real twist in the tale/
I've read far too many good books to remember my favourite reads. I love Cathy Kelly and Maeve Binchy. Binchy's latest hardback is a really good read. I can also recommend any of Debbie Mcomber's books for light holiday reading, but especially the series on a particular cove 
I've actually forgotten the name of the cove, sorry. Anyway the books are easy to spot as the titles are all addresses e.g. 33. lighthouse cove etc

Hope I am not breaking any forum rules but there is a great free site where you can swap books.Just register,list your books and all you pay is postage if someone likes a book you have.

I usually buy a paper every day on holiday, but at €2+ a day, with the current exchange rate, I'm going to have to re-think that one 
Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge a secondhand paper here and there, in exchange for my Heat magazine (which I absolutely cannot live without...)
Went into The Works the other day for a look at their 3 paperbacks for £5. Managed to pick up The Devil Wears Prada/Everyone Worth Knowing (2 books in 1), Keeping It Real (Jodie Marsh's autobiography), and another book - The History of Lucy's Love Life in 10½ Chapters by Deborah Wright. They should keep me quiet for two weeks

i read mark frith - celeb diaries , private dancer by stephen leather ( a cracking read about the scams in thailand where bargirls extract as much money as possible out of gullible men) and a true story of Tracy Andrews who murdered her boyfriend , then pretended it was a roadrage attack. I read these 3 in Goa recently.
All were very enjoyable.
I am now on the lookout for books for my next holiday,I would like to read Shantaram , Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, and the new one by Adele Parks titled Tell me Something.

I've read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, wondeful books, didn't want them to end. I'm struggling to find a good read at the moment.

I loved the Kite Runner also 
The Kite Runner- brilliant book.
Also recently read The boy in the striped pyjamas- also brilliant. Those are two where I could never watch the movie of- as I don't think a move could convey the story as well as the book. Am about to read A Thousand Splendid Suns( Hosseini's second novel).
Am in the middle of Stuart McBrides Flesh House- murder in Aberdeen, says it all really

I'm in the middle of A Thousand Splendid suns now, & am thoroughly enjoying it. It's a perfect holiday read as its a book you can pick up & put down without losing the thread. Can you tell me what Shantaram is about please, as I've never heard of it?
If you all liked a thousand splendid suns and the kite runner I am sure you would love The Time Travellers Wife.Very different but completely riveting.A love story as well and as a man did not think it was going to be my cup of tea at all.Brilliant

I was going to keep "the Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett for my hols but now I've started it I can't put it down
Just ordered 3 Tess Gerritsen books from the book people for £4.99. Anyone who likes Patricia Cornwell will like TGs books as well- medical/forensic murder, mystery type books, but not too heavy. My 'book reading' holiday isn't until August so plenty time to pick up the other 10 or so I will need for the fortnight!!
