Thanks everyone, am off to the library today

I would definately second these books (The Lovely Bones (Alice Sebold) and My Sisters Keeper (Jodi Piccoult)). I loved them so much (after I'd finished crying ) I actually just bought them both for a friends birthday, and she loves them too!

I can recommend The Book Thief on your behalf SJH
It is a little different, but I thought it was great

I can also recommend "People Of The Book" by Geraldine Brooks - its her new one - has a bit of everything, history, religion, etc - and very cleverly put together

Excellent, thanks for that. Am finding it difficult to put down!

Ooh I've heard of that one too. Sounds like our bookshelves might be related!

Marley & Me by John Grogan. I hardly ever read but I just couldn't put this one down. Brilliant.

I loved 'The Memory keepers Daughter" (can't recall author name though). It was a tear jerker though...

And any of the Jodi Piccoult books - 19 Minutes was brilliant, so was Salem Falls, Keeping Faith, The Pact, My Sisters Keeper... A friend of mine has all her books and I've borrowed the ones I haven't read... I can't get enough of her books!
