Needing some recommendations!

I've just finished the turn of the key by ruth ware finished it in 2 days and really enjoyed

Am reading that now, very good!

I’ve just finished the Roanoke Girls. It’s very good.

I’ve just read a book called The Other Half of Augusta Hope that you might enjoy

Start reading Where The Crawdads Sing

I’m reading it now. I’ve struggled to read recently (too much going on at work) but I absolutely love it. About two thirds through and already have that feeling I don’t want it to end. Have also got the audio which is really good (so can drift off at night listening)

Yes to Where the Crawdads Sing. My other lockdown reads have been American Dirt, which is absolutely brilliant, I couldn't put it down, Normal People, and her other one, Conversations with Friends, and at the moment I'm reading the new Liz Nugent one, Our Little Cruelties, and really liking it so far. She writes really good thriller/drama stuff... And if you haven't read any of her books yet I'd go for her first one, Unravelling Oliver.

All the Light you Cannot See
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfield - brilliant.
The Beekeeper of Aleppo

(Have to disagree about Roanoke Girls though)

@Pootle40, I have read and enjoyed over 50% of your list and would fairly confidently recommend the following for you

The Heart's Invisible Furies
The Dutch House
A Prayer for Owen Meany
The Familiars

I second the Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri. Joint favourite book of the year so far. My book club have never talked about a book for so long or rated one more highly!

Other joint favourite was On Chapel Beach. It's a non fiction about a family mystery but it's beautifully written.

Favourite of last year was The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell. Quite creepy though!

I agree with Drink about American Dirt. It really is a book you can’t put down. Eye opening, full of strong women, and will put most people’s grumbles into perspective.
I also enjoyed Blood Orange and Little Fires Everywhere.

Crawdads
Ask Again Yes
American Dirt
The Dutch House
Such a Fun Age
Millers Valley
The Glass Castle
Educated

I’ve just finished magpie lane by Lucy Atkins and really enjoyed it .

I can absolutely recommend American wife - brilliant.

I’ve just finished “a book of secrets” by Kate Morrison. It was one of the best books I’ve read for a long time.

I loved 'Her Fearful Symmetry' by Audrey Niffenegger. It's very different to Time Traveller's Wife though. Might give it a reread actually. ☺️

I've really enjoyed reading these in lockdown :-
City of girls
Olive kitteridge
The plot against America (v v good - fictional history about what could have happened if USA had elected a pro Nazi president )
Little friends

Ooh and the Dutch house I really e joyed

I will look up the plot against America!
