My favourite book is The Time Traveler's Wife written by Audrey Niffeneger.

I love reading too but tend to go for more 'chick lit' types of books that I can read and get lost in but don't tax my tired mummy brain . So if you are interested in those types - I love Marian Keyes, Monica McInerney, Cathy Kelly, Maggie Alderson. I have really loved all their stuff. It's not too light in a fluffy romance novel type of way though!
My absolute fav book is called Three Wishes by a author called Liane Moriarty. I absolutely loved it - laughed,cried, the lot. It's about 3 sisters and dealing with family life - kids, relationships, their relationships with each other etc. I recently re-read it and relate to alot of stuff in it now I'm a mum.

Or how about Jodi Picoult? She is the author of My Sisters Keeper - which is out at the movies now. Apparently the movie is a lot different to the book. The book is brilliant and very thought provoking in a 'what would I do in that situation' way. I've read alot of her stuff and loved it - I really loved Salem Falls which about a Amish family. Very interesting. Most of her stuff revolves around an event and then a court case, and I find her stuff very hard to put down.

Thanks so much guys. I have written down some of those names to check out at the library.
I LOVE Martina Cole and have read all of her books. I do enjoy the whole escapism stuff more than the using too much of the grey matter. (Must preserve what I have)

Dont like the ones that you have to think too much about and that jump from place to place. It becomes too confusing and I quickly lose interest. Also like the books that dont take too long to get into.

Thank you and keep em coming

when i went on my honeymoon in may, i had 5 mins to grab a book so i picked the 1st one i saw, it was called- the last concubine - i cant remember the authors name and i gave it to a fellow traveller once i finished.
im not usually one to stray away from a good suspense thriller but this was one that i couldn't put down and finished in 4 days. it had everything in it and i was pulled right in!
the girl i gave it to emailed me and said she finished it in 1 day! keen but nevertheless proved it was a goody!
have fun!
