Summer holiday reads?
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2016 3:49 pm
Any suggestions of new-ish books or books that any of you have relatively recently discovered?
I need some ideas for holiday reading for myself and my 11 year old ds and 13 year old dd. We have a relaxed pool holiday booked and are therefore going to be reading quite a lot.
All of us are fiendishly fast readers and therefore don't want anything too short or straightforward. On the other hand I don't particularly want to be wading through War and Peace either. I do like meaty biographies - on my last pool holiday I read "Long Walk to Freedom" as an example.
I've looked at other threads but they are generally asking for quick and easy reads.
Does anyone have any suggestions that one or all of us might enjoy? (Hoping we might be able to spread the books around this year).
Thanks in advance.
