I recommend Angels and demons, better than Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne, The other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory and anything at all by the others!

Me too!! When i saw this thread i though ooh it will be full of clever books & authors and such  I too adore Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes etc its nice just to escape in a book for a bit.
Although, i have not read the latest book either tui - i bought it last year but just cannot get into it.
