I've found I've read a lot of Irish based books 
Marian Keyes is always good.
I was reading a good book by Melissa Nathan which DH managed to return before I'd read it!

I like MInette Walters crime novels, her latest one is pretty good.
Not such a great fan of chick lit but its OK now and then for light relief.
Have you tried either the Kite Runner or A thousand Splendid suns?
They are both brilliant but both had me in floods of tears when I wasn't pregnant so can't imagine what kind of mess I would be now if I read them again!

i love jodi picoult too!!! Have read all her books and am not somewhat stuck for something else to read. Any other books you've enjoyed bexandantz? Whenever i start a jodi picoult book i don't wana stop till its finished. But like you sabrina0007 i find it really hard to find books to read. The library is so huge and 9 out of 10 books are ones i cant be bothered with. I would rather just read books people recommend ae. I would still be reading jody picoult if she could write them as fast as i read them lol

A couple of my favorites are Judith McNaught, Sandra Brown and Karen Robards - a mixture of romance and thrillers.

Twilight series!!.....though they are booked out for ages here in Hamilton, so would probably be the same else where. I love the chicken soup series. A book I really want to read is The Lovely bones...and Jodi's books, but at the mo I barely find time to read as I'm having to do lots of readings for my course lol.

Oooh, didn't know there was a new Jodi Picoult out soon - it looks really good. I prefer that style of writing - the medical/ethics/legal ones.
