Top summer reads 2009

Looking for this summer’s big hit books? Look no further – we have called in top experts from the trade to tell you which titles not to miss in the months to come. Covering various genres from thrillers and romances to the best in comedic fiction and more besides, we’ll be giving tips for the hottest beach reads and coolest tomes to take on a long journey.

Sometimes reading a good book isn’t just about what lies between the pages – the place and circumstance that you are immersed in can add that extra dimension that makes it all the more meaningful. So is there a way to match the two – a kind of bespoke holiday reading service? Well, perhaps we have the answer…

Last year A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini may have brightened your life, or the final Harry Potter tale may have left you enchanted. Participating in this webTV show, brought to you by Foster Grant Reading Glasses, is a novel way to discover what will be the talk of the parks, pools and departure lounges of 2009.

So, feel free to send us your questions whatever your literary tastes, from Cormac McCarthy to Martina Cole or even Jackie Collins... We might be able to send you on another journey to suit the one you’re bound on over the next couple of months, even if you’re staying put over the summer.
