I need some more books to read pls peeps! Recently read the following:-
Gone Girl - loved The Night Circus - loved The Last Runaway - meh The Elegance of Hedgehog - pretentious twaddle Tuesdays with Morrie - great The Woodcutter - really enjoyed I Capture The Castle - enjoyed The Thousand Autumns of Jacob Zoet - v hard work The Hundred Year Old Man - loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - loved The Notable Brain of Maximilian Ponder - ok
I also raced through all the Hunger Games book and Games of Thrones books.
Not a fan of chick lit or gruesome thrillers (detested Jo Nesbo's Snowman for example) but loved Steig Larsson.
Thanks!
Got any ideas? Preferably stuff that isn't too pricey to download to Kindle as don't have space to keep buying real books.
I thought I was the only person on here who liked, 'Tuesdays With Morrie.' Have you read,'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' too? It's cheesy but I rather liked it as a v light read.
The Ninth Life of Louis Drax by Liz Jensen is an easy enough read but not trite. If you liked, 'I Capture The Castle' you might well like, 'Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day' and maybe some Evelyn Waugh (MY favourite is A Handful of Dust but try Brideshead Revisited too).
A Town Like Alice
The Number One Ladies' Detective series - easy reads but feel good and not chick lit
The "Watch" quartet might appeal to you - info is here and I just realised there are now 5, and I haven't read the new one, so am off to look for it on amazon I really enjoyed the first four of these, as did my in his early 20s pfb
Recent reads for me have been The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. You might like that - quite creepy. The Silver Linings Playbook - I didn't like it but it is a quick read. The Color Purple by Alice Walker. Just fabulous.
The Observations by Jane Harris. ( I defy anyone not to enjoy this book! )
Also The Restraint of Beasts by Magnus Mills, The Girl on the Landing by Paul Torday, and Skinny Dip by Karl Hiassen .. all quirky and blackly humorous in places.
