[Bumble1830]

As a new years resolution I decided to read more, AIBU to ask which books you would recommend? Thanks

What type of books do you like?

I'm pretty easy, although I don't like those true life, it happened to me, type of books,

The Girls He Adored by Jonathan Nasaw (thriller)
Out by Natsuo Kirino (crime)
Meeting evil by Thomas Berger (chiller)
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. (Hilarious memoir)

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind (historical type fantasy about scent).

Things We Never Said - Nick Alexander

Author Gillian McAllister - She has 3 books out all British set thrillers.

Perfume is brilliant. Second that.
Recently read The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Highly recommended

hazell42 I'm ready struggling getting into 7 Deaths, I've tried a few times. Do I just have to persevere?!

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It's historical fiction about two sisters in France trying to survive the german occupation. It's heartbreaking - I finished it at 2am and had to retire to the bathroom so my sobbing didn't wake DH.

Some other 5 star reads have been Mythos by Stephen Fry, Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng and A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

It is a little weird at first. But then it turns a corner and is totally gripping. Stick with it.

Have a look at Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fford for comic fantasy

Mark Lawrence for dystopian fantasy

Would also recommend Neil Gaimon, Patrick Rothfuss and Scott Lynch - more fantasy :)

Jean M Aual / Julian May / Katherine Kerr have written fantasy with a historical basis

I am enjoying Mark Hodders steampunk / fantasy as well

Anne Mccaffery and Elizabeth Moon for SciFy

If you like paranormal have a look at Kelly Armstrong Otherworld series or Kim Harrison Hollows books

Thank you everyone, looks like I'll have enough to keep me going.

Ive read a few Katie Fforde books, I enjoyed them.

I like the sort of books where the main character has a "secret", but not too keen on murder mystery ones.

Sacred Games was pretty good.
