Im off to the library on Tuesday and look for a good book. I usually read stuff like Sookie Stackhouse series, Nora Roberts, Twilight, chick stuff not romance/erotic type though more sappy. I dont really care for sci-fi alien, war, or war fight stuff. I like some true crime stories. Anything baby, weightloss, and health related. Thats all that I can think of for now but what would you suggest?

    I can recommend the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The books are much better than the film :)

    I'm reading the Outlander series and so far the first book was absolutely AMAZING! I would classify it as a historical fiction/historical romance.

    Have you read the shopaholic series? Fluffy, yet funny chicklit.

    Nora Roberts wise I don't think you can beat norther lights - her best IMO.

    If you like crime etc try Kathy reichs, if you ot really into gore try her 'teen' series vitals - no real gore but a brilliant read!

    I'd also second hunger games, it is warish but don't let that put you off - my mum and nan both read it!

    Finally hunting lila is great too!

    Yes!! Love Outlander series. By Diana Gabaldon. Absolutely amazing. They're quite long, which is good too - I found they actually lasted me more than 2 days!!!

    Also, if you haven't read them already, check out Water for Elephants and The Night Circus. And I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's fabulous.

    Health related I would recommend anything by Michael Pollan. He changed my life.

    If you like a touch of comedy with your chick lit look up Mary Kay Andrews or Sophie Kinsella. Both tell wonderful stories...a bit of romance, humor, and very relatable to every day life.

    I would suggest Marian Keyes. She's an Irish writer and her books usually have a serious plot but with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend them!

  • Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster. Hilarious!
