^ I second Jodi Picoult. Amazing author; definitely one of my favourites.

What sort of books are you interested in? Comedy? Action?

thanks girls..im just in to anything that grabs my attention quite quickly, not something that you slowly have to get in to...not really murder stories. mainly modern day, comedy, romance, girly things

If you don't mind supernatural characters- vampires, werecreatures, succubi, faeries, etc- then I'd recommend paranormal romances. I particularly like the Anita Blake series and the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton- some pretty vivid sex scenes in those though (particularly early Merry Gentry and late Anita Blake). I absolutely adore the Georgina Kincaid Succubus series by Richelle Mead, those I got into ridiculously quickly and just couldn't put down!! The more basic girly stuff I like includes Pride, Prejudice and Jasmine Field, which is quite funny and lighthearted. Can't remember the author though!

Anything by Marion Keyes is a great girly read and really easy to get into.

It's like you read my mind! Kevin has got to be the best book I have ever read.
Have you tried The Book Thief by Markus Zusak? It is great. I've just been re-reading the ''His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman, which I also love. The first one, Northern Lights, was made into a movie - The Golden Compass.
