To ask what you are reading?

[Pinkbutton85]

I'd like something new. Any genre, fiction or non fiction. What's it about without spoilers and would you recommend?

Linwood Barclay - No Time For Goodbye.

Really enjoying it so far!!

Giggle Good Omens is one of my favourite books. I can't wait to watch the series

The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I’m about to start the parallel book ... the Lovee songs of Queenie Hennessy.

Moving. And unexpected. Funny and sad. I’m 50 ish, I would not have understood its full emotional range in my 20’s or 30’s .

Just finished Devil’s Day by Andrew Michael Hurley and I loved it. I read his first book, The Loney, when it came out and I liked it but can’t remember what happens so am about to re-read it.

I get through about two to three books a week but last week I read Shes not there by Joy Fielding in one day. Hooked me. Its about a missing child and the circunstances are very similar to a very famous case.

The last 3 books I read in the last couple weeks were
mornings in Jenin ( Israel/Palestine conflict)
Educated ( Autobiography Tara Westover)
skin deep ( Liz nugent thriller)
All different all absolutely amazing can’t put down books.

Italo Calvino - If on a winter's night a traveler

I don't want it to end.

I am reading The Woman in the Window. AJ Finn. It’s quite good. I recently read, and loved Cath Staincliffe, Fear of Falling, which was compelling. I have The Girl in the Green Dress lined up. Thanks to the local library.

Lindsay Hilsom's biography of her friend and war reporter Marie Colvin, who was killed reporting from Syria. It's by no means a gushing eulogy. She comes across as flawed, a bit of a nightmare and utterly gifted.

Currently The Handmaids Tale.ive actually seen the series before reading the book but I had heard good things about the book so wanted to give it a go, not disappointed so far

Just finished "the perfect child"

Written by a child trauma psychologist Lucinda Berry. It's psychological thriller very much centred on her specialism

i read hundreds of ebooks per year on my phone ,all young adult always supernatural based

at the min im going through a series called hellscourge by j.d diem

Mumshappy I read that in the summer. Loved it and totally felt it could be based on something public.
I'd recommend trying A perfect child if you enjoyed that.

The Terror by Dan Simmons - it's about an arctic expedition in the 1800s. They get stranded with something stalking and terrorising them. It's very long and I'm only 1/4 through, really enjoying it so far.

I am reading my first Val McDermid book, Broken Ground and really enjoying it. I like crime novels generally but have several well worn ruts I fall into so this is a refreshing change. It has strong and natural women central characters and a lot of it is set in very familiar places.
Previously I read and fully enjoyed Agatha Christie's autobiography after it was recommended on MN.

Monsieur Ka by Vesna Goldsworthy is fab. It's sort-of a follow-on to Anna Karenina - not a sequel, and you don't need to know Anna Karenina to read it! It's a beautiful read, wonderfully written and with a great story at its heart.

I'm also deep in Pamela Clare's historical romances at the moment. I'm a total fan-girl for all her strands - lots of VERY rugged heroes and capable, intelligent women and boatloads of sex!

And I'm thinking about reading Olivia Manning's Balkan Trilogy and Antonia White's Frost in May again.

youarenotkiddingme ive just googled a perfect child. Sounds good. I will get that this week. Thank you for the recommendation.

I mistyped mum its The perfect child. Hopefully that's the one you got! I was gripped

Currently reading 'A Pauper's History of England' and a short story collection by Gaiman. I'd recommend anything by him.

@Bossybitch3of3 yes, I finished And The Band Played On last week. I agree, it's really powerful. So sad, and easy to forget what a different world it was in the 1980s. I have seen the documentary version of How To Survive A Plague as well and I cried...

How Did We Get Into This Mess by George Monbiot.

The best book I've read in years is The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne, can't recommend highly enough!

I’ve just read Old Baggage which I enjoyed very much, and before that I did a reread of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series.

Re reading the world's most battered copy of motley crue's 'the dirt' in anticipation of the movie next month.
Still never fails to leave me slack jawed.

Finally started reading 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. Just finished Chapter 7. Was hooked from the first page. Also recently finished reading Jon Ronson's 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed' which was very good.
