I'm just over halfway through Dominion and loving it. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but am enjoying it so much I almost don't want to read it iyswim as then I will have finished it.

The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman. It was recommended on here; I don't think I'd have picked it up otherwise. Absorbing and beautifully written.

Reading The Sunne in Splendour at the moment and really enjoying this detailed account of Richard III's life.

Another vote for 'The Night Circus' - just gorgeous.

I have Doctor Sleep and The Light Between Oceans waiting on my Kindle. And Joe Hill's latest, Nos4R2.

Currently re-reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (for the umpteenth time, on book 8 now and will actually get to read the whole lot this time - yay!).

Black is the Colour - Helen Howe. One of those novels that is so readable and easy to get lost in. Can't wait for her next.

I love Natasha Solomon's writing. Really enjoyed Mr Rosenblom's list and The gallery of vanishing husbands. I fall in love with the characters in her books.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I just couldn't put it down.

Another one, just finished reading a couple of days ago - The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toibin. Feeling a bit wrung out after reading it, and don't want to pick up another book just yet. Still thinking about it.

Just finished we are all made of glue. Really enjoyed it Smile

Just finished Bill Bryson One Summer. Really enjoyable and interesting.

the Uninvited by Liz Jensen

and The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian is a really good read - Harry Potter for grown-ups.

MillyONaire · 19/10/2013 20:44

Apple Tree Yard - I loved that too MrsDesperado. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it - quite a different story. I have just finished "The Bronze Horseman" by Paullina Simons and adored it - again to my huge surprise! Not so much the undying love part but the Siege of Leningrad and the miserable history of life in Russia which is fascinating. I'm about to atrt on the sequel......

MurderOfBanshees · 19/10/2013 20:45

Wool by Hugh Howey, really enjoyed that.

sleepymummy28 · 27/10/2013 22:28

Same as Housesellerihope and cowmop, Me before you by Jojo Moyes. Read it some time ago and read quite a few books after but still keep thinking about it, I just loved it

BikeRunSki · 27/10/2013 22:31

The Paris Wife - Pauline McGuinn, kept me up a few nights.

1gglePiggle · 27/10/2013 22:34

The husbands secret - complicated at the beginning getting to grips with all the characters but worth persisting with

Literally just finished The Returned by Jason Mott.

I remember recently watching the French 'Les Renevants' (The Returned) last year (second series coming soon) and wondered whether it was like that.

It shares the similarity that the dead come back after many years, but that is where it ends.

This story is set in a small town in middle America (although it is a worldwide phenomenon) and it asks the question "what do you do when the dead start to return to life again?" It focused on particular families and scenarios and I found myself thinking about it even when now reading the book.

How would society at large cope? What about the logisitics of dealing with a massive and constantly growing influx of 'people' to towns and citie?.

The impact of returning dead family members to surviving members was explored and focused particularly on a elderly couple whose son came back to them. He had drowned over fifty years before, aged 8. He was exactly as they had last seen him.

Another one for Bill Bryson's One Summer here.

Beeyump · 28/10/2013 09:50

Light Years by James Salter. The writing is startlingly beautiful.

Branleuse · 28/10/2013 09:54

the morrissey autobiography.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/10/2013 09:55

American Gods

cocoleBOO · 28/10/2013 10:05

W Is For Wasted by Sue Grafton, a Kinsey Millhone book. Have Bill Bryson lined up next Smile

LordPalmerston · 28/10/2013 10:07

i am reading Swimming in the moon thing which looked crap ( and isnt exactly the most taxing book) but is REALLY good!

www.amazon.co.uk/Swimming-Moon-Novel-ebook/dp/B00BATIKQ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382954842&sr=1-1&keywords=swimming+moon

MrFranklyShankly · 28/10/2013 10:08

The Cry, it was recommended on here, and it was quiet good,

currently reading the peguin classic morrissey autobiography ;-) and loving the witty mozzer satire of it all, it is beautifully written.

the good girl by daniella Steele
