Ohh, thank you so much everyone!
To answer turquoisesea I think I mostly like fiction, I love authors like Jodi Picoult and Cecelia Ahern but am open minded to trying anything.

Quite a few people have recommended the time traveller's wife, I might give this one a go!

At the weekend I bought (2nd hand in a charity shop) The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. It sounds really good and I'm looking forward to reading it, once I finish Crow Lake which I'm currently re-reading.
