I have enjoyed many others that are 'mainstream' but can't really remember what they were about now-e.g. Off the top of my head, shadow of the wind, Donna Tart, Kate Atkinson Brodie books, I'll go to bed at noon, (although I found it hilarious & my friend found it depressing), lots of booker shortlists & when I was younger I loved the sandman comics/graphic novels.
I'm off to Spain for 2 weeks with extended family soon, (woohoo!) I need a couple of books & the unread ones I have feel a bit meh. I was enjoying 'there but for the'. But have misplaced it somewhere!
I'm not really into war & history, (I know that sounds really awful & not against it if it's a good read but just not what I'd usually go for) and generally prefer something not too heavy to hold & gripping enough to make me want to keep reading (and go to bed earlyish so I don't drink as much vino as aI anticipate;)
Thanks in eager anticipation for your recs!
