As the days get warmer, most people’s minds begin to drift towards the promise of a summer holiday. With the possibility of days spent languishing pool side or on the beach, a good book can make all the difference to alleviating the inevitable boredom.  Looking up and down the beach at your fellow sun loungers, you may see patterns emerging in their chosen reading material. The chances are a lot of the books you’ve repeatedly spied are one of the eight titles handpicked by the British book world’s answer to Simon Cowell, Richard Madely and Judy Finnigan.

Still a major player on the high street despite the loss of the televised show, the Richard and Judy Book Club has helped sell millions of books and kick started the careers of their chosen authors. Now run exclusively in partnership with WH Smith, the Richard and Judy book club has picked out eight new titles for the 2011 holiday season. The chosen titles have been hand picked to provide a variety of styles and genres and are available in all bookshops.
