Hi and help. Need ideas for holiday reading

[happyjo]

Hi

I am off on holiday with my faimily in the next 2 weeks and need some inspiration for holiday reading.

I can easily plough thru 4-5 books in a 2 week period.

I like:-

Chic lit ( for the 30+ age group..ie Marian Keyes)
Thrillers
Non Fiction..( not too profound)

I am a mature law student entering my 3rd yr and spend too much time with heavy duty text books, I am looking for books that are light hearted, but stimulating...

I have just read Cecile Ahern's " A Place called Here" and like it.

Can any of you lovely peeps recommend anything for me.

New Kate Atkinson ' One good Turn ' and new Bill Bryson Life and Times of the T hunderbolt Kid and Mark Haddon - A Spot of Bother - anything by Mark Billingham - thriller type stuff. The Genesis Code 0 John Case - recommended for a great twist !

Once again, anything by Louise Bagshawe, she's amazing perfect holiday reading.

Anything by Colin Bateman, he does these extremely funny books about an Irish journalist - it's humour/mystery/thriller.

For a thriller, try Ken Follett although I warn you it may be hard to pay attention to any loved ones or holiday sights, this is seriously addictive stuff. As in, myself and everyone I've recommended to has stayed up until 5am to finish a Ken Follett.

Lastly, Patrick Redmond is a more dark/psychological kind of thriller, very chilling and another 5am - er.

Wendy Holden writes easy reading books - try "Wives of Bath"
Also Douglas Kennedy is a good storyteller, I've just finished "State of the Union". They're not chick-lit but are easy to read.
Norah Roberts is another who is very easy to read but she's a bit like Jodi Picoult in that her books are not flimsy.
I am reading "We need to talk about Kevin" at the moment which is a book I thought I would not particularly like but it's excellent.
(I also liked the Celia Ahern book)
