I used to read a lot but have lost my way a bit over the last 12 months. I have enjoyed books by: Jane Austen David Nicholls Jodi Picoult Emma Donohoe (sp? She wrote "Room") Victoria Hislop Khaled Hosseini Jojo Moyes
What else might I like please? Ideally nothing too recent as I need to use the library! Thanks.
Try: Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks East of the Sun by Julia Gregson A Disobedient Girl by Ru Freeman Longbourn by Jo Baker The Mystery of Glass by Sue Gee The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman
All readable but not too demanding - hopefully will help you get your mojo back
Try this site map just type in the name of an author you like, and you will get a map -the nearer the name to the centre the more close it it is to the one you like- I've got lots of good suggestions from it in the past.
Thank you for all the ideas, I love the idea of a literature map. I'm going to have a proper look at it later on and then see what I can reserve at the library. I'd forgotten about Marian Keyes. I read a couple of her books years ago and loved them so I'll definitely look for some more!
I've read and enjoyed nearly everyone on your list (except Victoria Hislop - never read her, and I'm not crazy about David Nicholls).
I think you'd like: Penelope Lively (my favourite is The Photograph) Maggie O'Farrell Anne Tyler Barbara Kingsolver Wally Lamb AS Byatt Ian McEwan Kate Atkinson
Definitely Kate Atkinson (though read the Jackson Brodie ones in order or else it gets confusing). Life after life and Behind the Scenes at the Museum are brilliant.
Also Patrick Gale is really enjoyable especially if you love Cornwall. Notes on an Exhibition is great but I have enjoyed all his books.
