what type of books are you into? Slushy/murder/thriller?
The CSI books are really good books to read, also do you like reading biographies as there also good
I think you should go for Biography's Vicky, from chatting to you on msn and stuff, i think that would be something you'd enjoy.
Read The Hobbit Vicky then the LOTR Trilogy. They are 10 times better that then films and the films were fab.
I love reading autobiographs/biographs....more about normal peeps, than celebs. At the mo Im reading Terry Fox, His Story by Leslie Scrivener, which is a very inspirational book, and a good read.
On the fiction side...I am rereading The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, which is also a very good, gripping read.
I'm an autobiography / biography reader as well. I also like stories based on True events, have you tried just browsing the library to see if anything takes your fancy.
Dawn - yeah i have read a couple of autobiographies/biographies - Gareth Gates was one i remember reading and i have since looked around for others that might interest me but cant find anyone - anyone know any good ones?
Luna - im not really into murder ones or anything sad for example there was this book i started reading and this girl was really horrible to her dad which caused him to have a stroke and he could no longer speak - i never read all of it as it was to sad.
Katy - i have looked in WHSmiths at a couple but coudn't really find anything
I recently read Peter Kay's which was really funny, but only because i like him as a comedian.
If someone who read it but didnt like him could they possibly enjoy it aswell?Quote:

Thanks i might give that a go :) :)Quote:

Yeah i heard about the movie too, it will be amazing as it was such an emotional story but at the same time you could put it down. Yeah i need to get the new one now as i'm slowly running out of books i haven't read, may need to re-read some of them.

If yo uwant to go for the non-celeb autobiogs try Wednesday's Child by Shame Dunphy http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/2...d/Product.html this is a blurb on it.
Try anything by Torey Hayden, she's a really good author. A list of all her books is here http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?sear...&go.x=0&go.y=0
Also, try looking in Tesco, they have chart books which retail at £7-8 for £3.77 which is even cheaper than play.com.
after you mentioned this i decided to read it and i am half way through it. i thought it might be a bit too soppy and sentimental but its not, its really good and i will enjoy the film when it comes out.Quote:

Yeah it does, it was the first one of her books i read and found it totally brilliant. It's about Rosie and Alex who are best friends then he moves away but they still keep in touch.
If you could see me now is also a good book, i think it's great how Elizabeth learns to life her life all over again with the help of Lukes Invisable friend.
Is it a romance?
I'm reading a good book at the moment, the chemistry of death by Simon Beckett. Bit of a thriller, I can't put it down. http://www.tesco.com/books/product.aspx?R=9780553817492
i have just finished the book.i didnt actually cry but i did fill up a few times!!Quote:
