I got some tax money back from last year so I've bought a kindle!

Now need some book recommendations....

[Bridey]

What sort of books do you like?

I love crime/pathology thrillers and can recommend Peter James, Mark Billingham and, if you have a strong stomach - Val McDermid and Karin Slaughter.

Some other favourites:

Before I Go To Sleep is a fab book about a woman who loses her memory at the end of each day.

The Room is amazing - written from the perspective of a child born and raised in a room with his captive mother - made me cry!

The Time Traveller's Wife - beautiful, much better than the film, made me cry!

One Day - a really sweet book about a friendship/relationship between a man and a woman visited on the same day every year - made me cry!

Its either blood and guts or a good weepie for me :D

like Bridey I am into crime/thriller

totally into Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson at the moment

Peter James is good too

How about some autobiog... not long read Patrick Swayze Time of my Life
and John Barrowman (after my dream about him I went and got his auto biogs)

[Roseolivia]

Erica Spindler is good as well
Faye or Jonathan Kellerman
Michael Connelly

All crime books

[md0u0131]

I like a variety of things really, my favourite books are:

- The Hobbit
- Lord of the Rings
- Wuthering heights
- Dracula
- Catch 22

Just downloading all the free classics atm

Then I also like easy top read trashy novels like the shopaholic ones.....

NOT twilight though :laughing:

[Two Princesses]

I can't remember the last time I read a book (probably on maternity leave with my 1st DD!) BUT, I do like crime. I read all of Martina Cole's books, I like James Patterson and Stephen King too.
The extent of my bookcase at the moment thought consists of 'No cry sleep solutions for toddlers' and 'how to raise your spirited child' but said child won't sleep so I don't have time to read them!! :rolleyes: ;)

[Pipsqueak]

The Vampire Diaries series of books (way better than the tv programmes)

[Zoomie]

I've recently finished the Harry Potter series.

Initially thought it wasn't my cup of tea, and then was bored one afternoon and picked up the first one (my children have picked up the books on their travels) as I knew I could read it in a couple of hours, and then I was hooked.

I love reading but don't often because I become a most neglectful mother and wife :blush::blush:

I love the True Blood (Sookie Stackhouse) set of books by Charlene Harris.

Linwood Barclay's are reallly good. ive just started his latest.

[sarak31]

We have just read The Host by Stephanie Meyer in our book group - same author that wrote Twilight. I really didn't fancy reading twilight and so was a bit dubious about the host - but it was one of the best books I have read for ages and I would really recommend it. Have now given in and downloaded Twilight to read!

If you like lord of the rings type stuff you may like George Martin's - game of thrones - am reading at mo and is quite good - fairly cheap on the kindle too.

Just read the What the Nanny Saw by Fiona Neill
The Hunger Games trilogy were great, not seen the film yet but hope it's as detailed as the book
I also love Peter James - particularly the roy grace series
I have the 50 shades trilogy lined up next

If you like Sophie Kinsella try Got Your Number

[cathtee]

I go through all the free ones in crime romance and fiction then if you don't like what you have downloaded then not lost anything, you can also download samples, I like conrad jones soft target, waited til they became free and then did it.:)

I have 218 on mine have trouble getting through them, waiting for hols in 6 weeks and then will read about 6 :clapping:

[clareelizabeth1]

I recommend you check out your local library's web site I can down load free books from mine which is great. I also use my mums card so I can use Londons library consortium as they have thousands of books.

[loocyloo]

Linwood Barclay's are reallly good. ive just started his latest.

ooo, i like his books too.

LOL at kindle talk though ... i use the kindle app on my phone and after reading on here yesterday i had a look at amazon and loaded a pile of new books on my phone ...

DH then asked if i wanted one for my birthday as then i could take it on holiday and not need to take my phone !!! i said i prefer 'real books' and he said yes, but i wouldn't have enough luggage space for the amount i read on holiday ;) and if i only used it on holiday or when i had run out of books from the library that was fine :D .

i was interested to read that you can sync a kindle & phone app. that would be useful as i use my phone app for when i am waiting for clubs etc. also didn't know you could download from library either :D
