Books To Read When You Should Be Doing Your Assignments!
Getting Rid of MatthewGetting Rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.01
Passes the time. Helen is generally unlikeable and Matthew is pathetic and spinless but it'll get you through a few hours.
My Sister's KeeperMy Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Buy used from: £0.01
First Jodi Picoult book I ever read, and still my favourite. I have read this a million times now and it still makes me cry at the end.
The Abortionist's DaughterThe Abortionist's Daughter by Elisabeth Hyde
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
Read this in a few hours while in Germany. Interesting look at the other side of abortion - the doctors who perform them.
My Best Friend's GirlMy Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
The title caught my eye. It's a little cliched, but still sweet and worth a look.
Nineteen MinutesNineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Buy new: £13.49 / Used from: £0.50
Picoult's best work to date besides 'My Sister's Keeper'. All the more poignant after the recent VT massacre.
WatermelonWatermelon by Marian Keyes
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £1.48
Marian is the Queen of chick-lit. Fabulously witty, and God, I adore Helen.
A Piece of CakeA Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown
Buy new: £4.44 / Used from: £0.40
I normally avoid this genre as while their lives have been tragic, the self piting grates on my nerves. However, this is an exceptional story and Brown is a very talented writer.
FacelessFaceless by Martina Cole
Buy new: £5.94 / Used from: £0.01
Love Martina. Gritty, dark and fabulous. I love ALL her books, but 'Faceless' is probably my favourite.
Bella MafiaBella Mafia by Lynda La Plante
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
La Plante is hugely talented. Tells the story of the Italian Mafia with a little bit of girl power thrown in.
The Big PictureThe Big Picture by Douglas Kennedy
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £2.86
Read 'State of the Union First'. Bored me. Decided on a whim to purchase this and haven't regretted it. Amazing.
Lovers and GamblersLovers and Gamblers by Jackie Collins
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
Trashy, shallow chick-lit. All sex, drugs and rock and roll... But God, I love Jackie Collins
Mr. MaybeMr. Maybe by Jane Green
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
A predictable page turner like all Mrs, Greens books.
How Will I KnowHow Will I Know by Sheila O'Flanagan
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
I'm a sucker for buying books because of their titles. My favourite Sheila O'Flanagan book to date.
The Undomestic GoddessThe Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £0.01
Light, witty and a love story. What more could you want?!
EchoesEchoes by Danielle Steel
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
I blame Danielle Steel for turning me into a romantic having been an avid reader of hers in my early teens. I have now outgrown the majority of them but this I just can't let go...
