Empires of the Sea – The final battle for the Mediterranean 1521 – 1580 by Roger Crowley. I recommend this book highly.
Terry Pratchett – Thief of Time. Only one witch, Nanny Ogg, and her on the periphery, but very funny.
Mavis Cheek – Mrs Fyttons Country Life. Left behind by a previous holiday maker and it was raining. Again. What I think the magazines call “a holiday read”.
Unzipped - The autobiography of Suzi Quatro. Much more my style; if I am going to read chick lit, I much prefer it by a rock chick. Not that a musician of her calibre deserves to be called a “chick”.
