Thanks for all the replies I have seen some of these titles i.e The Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns but I think they are a little too heavy for my taste. I like sad but not that sad

Thanks again keep the suggestions coming xx
Try Slumdog then.

I recently read and thoroughly enjoyed "Lisey's Story" by Stephen King - the man has such an imagination, and it's one of his better books.

House at Riverton and Slumdog were absolutely brilliant books.
Recently re-read Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris and thoroughly enjoyed that again.

The best one I`ve read recently is A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin. It`s quite dark, but sweeps you along into an alternate London.

I would definitely give Martina Cole's - The Take a go. We're watching it on Sky and it's really good.

Hi - depends what type of books you like really - i read a lot of historical books fiction and non-fiction but i really like Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir and a bit more serious Antonia Fraser.

Changing tack slightly i've just read Roger Moores autobiography "My Word is my Bond" and its hilarious, it made me laugh out loud. I fancy reading David Nivens "The Moons a Balloon" - thats supposed to be amusing as well.

I like a lot of the classics as well, i read the Hobbit a while back and i have a copy of The Wind in the Willows from when i was young that i go back to every now and then.

I need to go to the library as i'm not reading anything at the moment and i'm missing it.
