AIBU to ask for book recommendations?

I recently read Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, and absolutely loved it.

There are a couple of other books I’ve also read recently and enjoyed - Everything I know about love (by Dolly Alderton) and Dear Mrs Bird. I also read a memoir about Paris by Emma Beddington a couple of years ago, which had a similar feel to it.

I think what I liked most about these books is that, apart from them all being well written, they were all very funny but also made serious points, which made them really relatable.

Just had a browse in my local bookshop but nothing really caught my eye. I’ve got that feeling when you finish a brilliant book and want to get stuck into a new one (possibly something to do with this time of year, and wanting to curl up somewhere warm and quiet to read)!

Thanks all :)

I loved 'Snow falling on cedars'. Not a new book or anything. Beautiful story, murder mystery at the heart of it, one of my faves.

Notes on a scandal is very good. Just read the testaments by Margaret atwood , but if you don't know the handmaids tale, it might not work.

If you fancy something seasonal and a little bit different try Calm Christmas by Beth Kempton it’s a non fiction reflective look at Christmas. You are encouraged to explore what Christmas means to you and why. I’m loving it.

Are you on Facebook? I've joined a group called Read any good books lately? And it's fab for suggestions and questions.

@ilovetrees30

It is truly amazing. It's a story of young love, loss, WW2, tests of character, and murder mystery, all in one. A book to snuggle up with come the big freeze.
