Please recommend an unputdownable book

[Celeriacacaca]

I have just found out I will have quite a bit of time next week that I don't usually have and would love to spend some of it reading. Please recommend a book I can lose myself in!

What do you like? If you’ve watched the handmaid’s tale then The Testaments is excellent

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. I was sad to finish it.

The Husbands Secret by Liane Moriarty.

I read Jamaica Inn in three sittings recently. An oldie but absolutely compelling.

Another vote for Eleanor Oliphant- it wasn't at all what I was expecting but I could not stop reading it!

A Treachery of Spies .... bought on a whim (buy one get another half price) Brilliant read.

Little Fires Everywhere - raced through that.

Anything by lianne Moriaty.

A Thousand Ships. It is perfect!

Anything by Liane Moriarty, Amanda Prowse or Lisa Jewells.

Currently reading The Farm by Joanne Ramos, and getting through 6-8% a day (based on Kindle). Previously read Claire North 84K, which is one of the best books I’ve read. Both great if you like Margaret Atwood.

Gone Girl for a thriller
On earth we are briefly gorgeous for thinking
We are called to rise for an easy but thought provoking read
All the light we cannot see for pure literary beauty.
Have a wonderful week! Jealous!

The Color Purple
The Collector
The Wasp Factory (not for the faint of heart)
The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared

Also voting for anything by Luanne Moriarty so funny, smart and so readable.

Or, I am pilgrim for a gripping thriller.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt- all round brilliant writing and gripping story.

Liane Moriarty for light and absorbing.

If you like crime/ police procedural books, try Michael Hambling's DCI Sophie Allen series. I'm on book 7 and really enjoyed them all.

Also LJ Ross DCI Ryan books are really good, especially the first one.

Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor

The Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. Basically “what would police work be like if there was magic” and they’re really well written page turners.

I agree with Eleanor Oliphaunt too.

The “Wool” trilogy if you like post-apocalyptic.

Lee Child books if you like an easy read action story.

Oh yeah those Jodi Taylor books are good 👍

The Pillars of the Earth. Ken Follett.

Robin hobb.

Start with the Farseer trilogy.

A Sense of Honor, James Webb.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. And the other two in the Wayfarers trilogy - the second one is really good too, the third a little different in style but still good.

Depends on the genre you like, I'll give pretty much anything a go but ones that spring to mind are-
My book club books I've recently enjoyed:
Together by Julie Cohen
Everything I never told you by Celeste Ng

Books that have made me laugh-
The Rosie Project + Rosie Effect + Rosie Result by Graeme Simison
The Secret Diary Of Hendrik Groen 83 1/4 Years Old- by Hendrik Groen ( you should be able to find an English copy, I read it in Dutch,it's hilarious!)

I love science related books, so my most unputdownable book since I started reading it as a blog has got to be The Martian by Andy Weir. I realise it's not for everyone but this kept me up all night reading, his attention to detail was astounding. I was right there on Mars with the main character throughout the book.. Probably up there as one of my all time favourites.

Happy reading !
