    I am reading the " the brighest star" by marian keyes . i have all her books , also Jane green , Sophie Kinsella . I have all the books from them .

    They are Chick Lit and very funny the stories are easy to follow and make you cringe with embarrasment when one of the characters gets themselves into a mess ! the most recent book i finished (2 days ago ) was "twenties Girl " from shophie Kinsella . It took me about 4 nights to finish , i couldnt put it down and i often read and read till the wee hours if im really into the book !

    I cant really get the gist of Crime or Sci Fi , i love books about history , but tend to go for the light hearted stuff as its easy to digest at 3 in the morning

    You *must* read The Book Thief.

    I always recommend "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier as well...its the novel that started me reading again.

    Something lighter: Garden Spells, or The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen.

    "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Piccoult, or the other one of hers that I couldn't put down was "19 Minutes". I haven't seen the movie of My Sister's Keeper but the book is just amazing and really makes you see the issue from all angles. I couldn't put it down! And there are not many books that are like that for me!

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I need to get reading by the looks of things. Lots of books to read.

    Mummy Tummy If you haven't seen the my sisters keeper movie DONT! I read the book and loved it and when i saw the movie i wanted to throw something at the tv lol. They even changed the end, not cool.

    Really? How can they change the ending?.....Oh no, let me guess - to get the Hollywood happy ending?

    I think i read an interview with jodi picoult once and she said that they buy the rights to the book then write a screen play based on it. It wasn't a happy ending, just the wrong ending.
