Depends what you like, but if you enjoy murder mystery/thrillers then check out Peter James and his Roy Grace novels, anything by Kathy Riechs, Spoonface Steinburgh is good if you can cope with the emotions

OK - I was obsessed and still am in many ways with The Mitfords : Letters Between Six Sisters ed. Charlotte Mosley

Other things The Invention Of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
Notes From An Exhibition Patrick Gale
Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn

It depends : what are you in to?

Kate Mortons books are brilliant. Also the shock of the fall, Dorothy koomson books, where'd you go bernadette?, are all great books.

Spoonface Steinberg is a novel now? It started off as a radio play.

Oh Where'd You Go Bernadette gave me the absolute pip as they say. Finished it as it was short but only as it was short.

I'm reading The Trade by Simon Andrew Stubbs at the minute. I'd recommend it so far.

Oh I'd go for Jane Austen (yet again). Persuasion, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility. I could read over and over.
Or the Harry Potter set. Again.
Or My family and Other Animals - Gerald Durrell (as in The Durrells on ITV). Love it.

If you like history/sci fi try the Chronicles of St Mary's series, there's about 5 books & they got me through a hospital stay last year. Quite light reading but addictive too

Just finished reading the Century Trilogy by Ken Follet. He isn't my favorite author but it was an entertaining trilogy of books.

Check out miss peregrine

www.waterstones.com/book/miss-peregrines-home-for-peculiar-children/ransom-riggs/9781594746031

It's got loads of interesting photos in it too and it's going to be a movie later on this year

Dorothy L. Sayers if you like period detectives.M.R James for ghost stories. Sci-if is the only think I have never managed to get into, and I read a lot ( a book a day when on holiday).

Just finished Letters to the Lost by Iona Grey. With tears rolling down my cheeks - it was soooooo good. And I'm a tough old cow - takes a lot to make me cry!
