To ask for some book recommendations

[rubberplants]

Or what are you reading at the moment? I

I’m reading Lyrebird by Cecilia Ahern

I'm reading '12 books that changed the world, by Melvyn Bragg.

Loads of the suggestions on 'what we're reading' thread

Ah, of course, thanks.

Where would I find that?

What kind of genres do you like? I have just finished Game Of Thrones and am currently reading The Other Boleyn Girl.

As Palavah says check out the Books thread. Many suggestions there.

I recently loved Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

Lullaby by Leila Slimani

@rubberplants go to talk, all topics and then books

@notawittyname1954 thanks for directions, I didn’t know it was there either.

I’m rereading the Chronicles of St Mary’s series yet again...so few books have the capacity to make me laugh out loud and also cry real tears of sadness in one book yet Jodi Taylor manages. Brilliant series.

I've just started reading those and really enjoying them.

I'm reading The Mermaid of the Black Conch which is...weird.

After this I will be re-reading Nancy Mitford before watching the BBC rendition. I'm 30 and she makes me hoot with laughter. I think her writing is still relevant and wonderful.

What genres do you usually like?

I have heard so many good things about this series. I may have to give them a try one day.

Germania by Simon Winder

I am Reading The Five. It’s about the lives of the women who were murdered by Jack the Ripper. Enjoying it so far and have been in a reading rut for a while and has captured my interest.

If you are on Facebook the Radio 2 Book Club is fun - lots of chat and suggestions about books - most people on there complain that it costs them a fortune (because they get tempted by all the suggestions).

Just finished The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper - thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in Pompeii before the eruption about a group of prostitutes. Unputdownable.

I’m reading the midnight library and really enjoying it.

Just finished reading ‘I know this much is true’ by Wally lamb.

What sort of thing do you usually enjoy?

Just finished She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb which was recommended to me on a FWR thread. I really loved it.
Now a few pages in to neurosurgeon Henry Marsh's Admissions, follow up to Do No Harm which was fantastic.

@Wearegoingtoneedabiggerboat
Was it good? Wondering which Lamb to try next.

Nothing intellectual, but I've just enjoyed I found you - Lisa Jewell, and The Fear - CL Taylor, was even better

I've just finished And Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, really enjoyed it

Where Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. The best book I have read in such a long time.

I have these I haven't started yet. Are they heavy going? True to the series or better ?
