Best book you've ever read?

[MonsteraCheeseplant]

I loved My Sister's Keeper, though not any of Jodie Picoult's other books as I soon realised the formula.

When Breath Becomes Air is a beauty

I Am Pilgrim.

I Am Pilgrim.

The best true life book I've read is I choose to live by sabine dardenne.Its an account of a Belgian school girl that was kidnapped on her way to school by a predator.

Life after Life by Kate Atkinson is one I’ve reread any times.

Bring Up The Bodies - Hilary Mantel. I loved the other two in the trilogy, but for me, the middle one was the best.

Fiction might be The Goldfinch.

Non-fiction was Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Naomi's room

The handmaids tale

Possibly Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy (NOT the bleedin awful film!)
Or..Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Or...a Secret History by Donna Tartt
Or....Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
Or.....Headless Angel by Vicki Baum

I’ll shut up now, you only asked for one

A gentleman in Moscow. Just perfect on so many levels.

Straight Jacket by Matthew Todd, so many things just clicked and all of a sudden made sense.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

It’s so too difficult to choose. I frickin’ love reading!

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Lovely bones by Alice Arnold
Secret life of bees. By sue monk kids
House of sleep by Jonathan Coe

My favourite is A Town like Alice.

Alice sebold. Sue monk kidd.

I Am Pilgrim for me too.

Tricky. I think my favourite while I was reading it was The Secret History. I didn’t want it to be over, and have re-read it lots of times, although not recently. Probably my favourite book going by number of rereadings is Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers.

Ones I’ve read in the last few years -Secret life of bees, same as @joyjester The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce and The hearts invisible furies by John Boyle

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
Dark materials trilogy by Philip Pullman

This is hard, it's like choosing between my kids.

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson (read about 3 times, once whilst in labour with eldest DC).

The King of the Barbareens by Janet Hitchman (not sure if it's still in print, autobiography about a Barnardoes child, first read it when I was 16)

A Country Child by Alison Uttley (another autobiography, probably also out of print but lovely).

Eureka Street by Robert McLiam Wilson (it was dramatised on TV about 17 years ago, then I read the book. It's sad & shocking in parts, but it starts, "This is a love story," & it is).

Loved Handmade's Tale (a modern classic)
I am Pilgrim was incredible
Shantaram is a fantastic read but

Wuthering Heights will always be my number 1

The house at riverton or the forgotten garden by Kate moton

Lovely Bones
Time Travellers Wife
Anne Franks Diary
