Oct 2022 what are you reading today?

Currently reading The Paris Library. A war time story. I often go back to things like this even though we all know what happened. An easy, interesting read.

I've just downloaded it starts with us so that will be next!

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

Mogginsthemog I was put off Blood Orange by the reviews saying the main character was unlikeable but I found it in a charity shop so gave it a go. I agree about her being irritating at first but it really surprised me because I couldn't put it down. I think it's one of the stand out ones I've read this year along with Lessons in Chemistry.

I've just finished Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris. I'm trying to choose between finishing The Snow Child
(which I didn't finish because my ds had a nose bleed all over it, but now I've got another copy)
Or innocent by Erin Kinsley. Which is a detective/murder one.
I can't decide what mood I'm in.

I really enjoyed Orphans of the Storm.

Currently reading The Jane Austen Book Club - I've had a copy for years but hadn't got round to reading it. I'm quite enjoying it, and will pass it on to a charity shop once I've finished it.

Im reading the invisible guardian, want to read on but its about 6/10 so far

Just started The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett.
Seen a few comments from MNers who found it a bit dull. Will give it a go. I quite liked her other one - The Appeal.

I’m now about 100 pages into Walking on Glass by Iain Banks but it’s not really doing much for me. Not sure whether to stick with it or abandon.

I'm reading the Whalebone Theatre, it's an interesting gentle read. I like the strong characterisation of the children.

I'm reading Cloud Cuckoo Land, half way through and loving it so far. Listening to White Trash Warlock which is free on audible unlimited, it's surprisingly good.

For the spooky season, I've just finished Silverweed Road by Simon Crook. Mystical realism horror short stories, but all interlink to feel more like a novel. Highly original, Were-Foxes, killer Jackdaws, and I won't look at Cuttlefish the same way again.

Bideshi I loved Still Life.
Wonderful, warm characters and loved the Italian setting too.

I'm reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Perfect for this time of year and I'm really enjoying it!

I've got Lessons in Chemistry lined up next, or possibly The Mad Women's Ball.

Yes it was a difficult but wonderful read. I am in awe of how well she told it.

I've just finished All Your Perfects by C Hoover and, although VERY different from my usual genre I really enjoyed it, made me feel all gooey inside 😊

My usual are Lisa Jewell and as a PP mentioned, Blood Orange, Chalk Man, etc.

I’m half way through a fascinating one, “Tell me the truth about love” by Susanna Abse. She is a relationship counsellor and she shares some of the couples journeys through counselling in this book.

I've almost finished London Belongs to Me which was recommended on one of the MN threads. I've enjoyed it.

I have just read that @ThreeKneeRepeater. It is very gritty. I thought it was well written, but there are parts of the story that if I had been watching it as a drama I would have averted my eyes. I read it with a horrible fascination.

I’m reading Shuggie Bain. I got it from the library and from what I can gather it seems to affect people in different ways.
I’ve only just started it, so I’ve yet to see what effect it has on me.

I loved that Tristan Gooley book - I feel I need to take it with me on a walk.

I'm currently re-reading The Book of Tresspass by Nick Hayes which was truly fascinating about the history of the land in this country but its so packed full of information I need to read it again.

I'm also reading The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs by Tristan Gooley which is I guess a bit self explanatory from the title but I predict I will have to re-read this again because its full of things that fascinate me. Walking and the general outdoors is one of my other interests.

I'm listening to the Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz in audiobook which I'm enjoying. I understand its a series so I'll probably add them to my to be read list too.

I always have a book and an audiobook on the go at the same time because I need quiet when I'm reading so I'm listening to fiction novels when doing something else or when I'm out and about to just let the story words wash over me.

Ulysses third time round. I'd forgotten how laugh-out-loud funny it is.

I've got 'The Mirror and the Light' sitting there waiting until I feel strong enough to read it. I did have a sneaky look at the end just to inoculate myself against getting too upset.
Anybody read Sarah Winman 'Still Life'?

I'm reading Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club. I got one of his books for my son, trying to get him in to reading, and he passed it to me. I'm really enjoying it.

I am reading An Experiment in Love by Hilary Mantel (first of hers I have ever read), and am listening to H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald (I think).

I loved American Dirt.

It’s definitely the season to get comfortable and read a book.

Now reading Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce. The main character's quite irritating, but it's definitely a page turner.

I'm reading that, and loving it. I only have a few pages to go.
