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!

I didn't mind this one, though I was a little disappointed in the ending

A Town like Alice (Neville Shute) is an all time favourite - haven't read it in years though, I wonder if I'd be disappointed.

Plus the best one I've read recently is the Timetraveller's Wife.

I love anything by Jodie Piccoult too.

Oh, and anything by Ann Tyler. I love her but her books are hard to get. Good book shops have some in the literature section. If you've never read Ann Tyler, give it a try. Digging to America is a recentish one of hers that I enjoyed.
