Aww, OH emailed me a link to the list so I had to disappoint him by advising that I'd already seen it LOL
I am having a delicious time deciding what to take to read on holiday (Paris on 7th July!) but I haven't got owt off the list... ***Strangers by Anita Brookner (Fig Tree £16.99) A retired banker, on holiday in Venice, has one last opportunity for human connection in this psychologically acute and surprisingly enjoyable tale. - would like to read this, went to Venice last year 
***The Sorrows of an American by Siri Hustvedt (Sceptre £7.99) A New York psychoanalyst tries to discover what lies behind a cryptic letter sent to his deceased father in this gripping mix of family saga, comedy of manners and gothic horror. - have What I Loved TBR ***The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Fourth Estate £14.99) A sophisticated collection of short stories, full of vivid scenarios and the threat of violence, from the Orange prize-winning author. - loved Half of a Yellow Sun ***His Illegal Self by Peter Carey (Faber £7.99) The Booker prize-winner is on fine form in this likable tale about a boy’s misadventures in an alternative community. - loved Oscar and Lucinda ***The Private Patient by PD James (Faber £12.99) Grisly goings-on in a private clinic confront Adam Dalgleish in this latest crime mystery from the queen of the genre. - recently read The Lighthouse, would probably read just to continue the series ***The Coronation by Boris Akunin (Weidenfeld £16.99)A compulsive thriller, set in tsarist Russia, about the kidnapping of a young Romanov. - is this one of the Fandorin series ? not too keen on The Winter Queen ***The Girl of His Dreams by Donna Leon (Arrow £7.99) A body floating in the Grand Canal leads Brunetti into a dark world behind Venice’s splendour - Venice again, I have The Anonymous Venitian TBR ***Backwards in High Heels: The Impossible Art of Being Female by Tania Kindersley and Sarah Vine (Fourth Estate £14.99) A bold and informative guide to being a woman in 2009 that isn’t full of froth about cupcakes and lipstick. - ah! I received a copy of this, but just listed it on Bookmooch where it was promptly snapped up ! |

Re: The Sunday Times 100 best holiday reads
I get the Times on Sunday each week and saw this. Some already on my TBR. Some I wouldn't even think of as summer reads. I need light easy books when on holidays! |
