I'm reading A slow passion-snails, my garden and me. It's non fiction, written by Ruth Brooks and describes her involvement in a citizen science project. I'm really enjoying it.Despite my massive 'to read' pile I'm wondering what others are reading at the moment!

Stephen King, it. Ready for the new film version later in the year.

I'm a quarter of the way through Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. I'm finding it so-so - I'm not 'getting' the main character and the story feels contrived.

I'm reading The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey, as personally recommended to me on these very boards. Smile. I'm coming towards the denouement and it's good but some of the views of the characters are, shall we say, dated, and I'm quite a lot 😱😱😱.

But I'm also listening to The Girls by Lisa Jewell on audible. I'm enjoying that too and recommend. I try to listen to one book and read another at the same time but have to make them quite different so I don't get confused. Lol.

I was thinking of listening to The Woman in Cabin 10 catloving so good to see your recommendation.

I'm near the end of The Woman in Cabin 10- I'm really enjoying it! Would recommend it strongly to anyone who likes a thriller.

I am in between books and hate that feeling. Thinking I quite fancy a thriller - have Defending Jacob by William Landay but it's a big hardback so I need a kindle book as well for days out this week. Dilemma ...

Barkskins by Annie Proulx. Only managed half if it so far. Am hoping to finish it on holiday this week.

To Capture what we cannot keep by Beatrice Colin. Totally absorbing. I'm absolutely loving it - one of these books that I'll be sad to finish.
