As I keep getting asked on Twitter for suggestions to throw in your suitcase for holidays this Summer I thought I’d knock something together all in one place. I’m going to suggest some books I’ve already read this year that I think you should try and then give you a list of things I fully intend to have read myself by the end of Summer 2014.

Of course, everyone’s definition of a holiday read is different so there’s a fairly wide selection…

 

Part One – Stuff I’ve Read (click the titles for full reviews)

For a quirky, easy to read love story – Daniel Glattauer – Love Virtually

For belly laughs – David Sedaris – Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls

For a brilliant psychological modern day read – Liz Nugent – Unravelling Oliver

For a Victorian gothic rollercoaster ride – Lauren Owen – The Quick

For one of the finest SF books of the year – M.R. Carey – The Girl With All The Gifts

 

Part Two – The Stuff I’ll Have Read By Summer’s End

No reviews, of course, just things on my “to be read” shelf that will be in my suitcase…
