Summer Reads

Now is the perfect time to load up on your holiday reading. Waterstones in St John’s Shopping Centre, Perth, have picked four books which they expect to be this summer’s top reads.

So pop on down and pick up a great read for those hot summer nights.

Tabloid Girl by Sharon Marshall, £6.99
Sharon Marshall was a tabloid reporter for ten years. Along the way she saw and did some Very Bad Things. She also had a spectacularly lousy love life. It took the entire decade to realise the two may be connected.

In her hilariously honest memoirs she reveals what really goes on behind the scenes at a major tabloid newspaper. What celebrities (secretly) do to get into the headlines. And whether a job which involves fighting with popstars, pretending to be a swinger and provoking a fuming Jeremy Paxman EVER make you marriage material?

The Passage By Justin Cronin, £20
An ambitious epic about a virus that nearly destroys the world, and a six-year-old girl who holds the key to bringing it back from the brink.

I Think I Love You By Allison Pearson. £12.99
Wildly witty, clever and touching, with a gorgeous and compelling twist, I Think I Love You asks what happens when the man you thought you loved turns out to be somebody else entirely…

An A-Z of Hellraisers By Robert Sellers, £20
This is the last word on drunken misbehaviour. This hilarious volume salutes a miscreant mob from Winston Churchill to Ozzy Osbourne.
