There’s something ever so delicious about selecting holiday reading. Some people choose long weighty tomes that they know just won’t get read in the busyness of day-to-day life. Others want something light – the classic beach read.

Me? I tend to go for a mix, but I do find that if it’s a really good book I will always remember that I read it on holiday, and if it’s not a good book I feel like I’ve wasted a day or two of my holiday. So, the pressure is on to select the right books!
