Hi ,desperately need a book to read ,have access to the kindle store and funds aren't an issue ,lol ,so recommendations are welcome :)
I'm into all sorts ,have recently read "the shock of the fall" ,"the storyteller" and "never let me go ". Which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Divergent ?

I loved A Tale For The Time Being. It was on Booker short list. I read them all and this was my favourite. A book I will keep and reread.

Just finished Just What Kind of Mother Are You by Paula Daly which was recommended on here - on the whole it was a good read. Apple Tree Yard? The Cuckoo's Calling? Both good reads.

I'm reading The Shock of the Fall at the moment. :)

A Painted House by John Grisham
Really getting into him

And Sexual Textual Politics by Toril Moi which I'm nearly finished with.

Light between the oceans
The Never List
What Alice Forgot
The Husband's Secret
The Colour
Longbourn
The Cry

Really enjoyed all of these

Definitely definitely A tale for a time being. I'm into the same books as you. I'm currently reading Burial Rights which is Brilliant .

I absolutely loved Ben Elton's 'Dead Famous', I know it's an old book but I've only just read it and it really sticks in the mind.

If you prefer something really fast moving and different, then I highly recommend 'Gods Inc' by Sarah King. Couldn't put it down.

Americanah

Wonder - R.J. Palacio. I really enjoyed this.

I'm ploughing through The Luminaries at the moment. Quite heavy going but well written and a book that you don't want to end!

Just finished 'wounding' by Heidi James after seeing it recommended on here. Really enjoyed it!

Thirteen Weddings by Paige Toon

Just read the shock of the fall and followed it with Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver...liked it better. Good book.

Anything by Diane Chamberlain. Particularly the Kiss River Trilogy and Summers Child

The Humans by Matt Haig and The Red House by Mark Haddon

Shock of the fall
What kind of mother are you
The secrets we keep

Oooooh.

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson.

Merivel by Rose Tremain (love it but definitely read Restiration first)

Sorry Restoration. Damn phone!

Maggie o 'farrell is fantastic
As is kate atkinson
Look them up on kindle

Restless by William Boyd. I don't normal like spy novels, but this is more than that and I really enjoyed it.

I'm reading The Likeness by Tana French and would definitely recommend it.

I think I've said this on at least three threads but "True Grit" by Charles Portis, Mattie Ross is one of my favourite characters.

Just read Paula Daly's new one - keep your friends close - and it is brilliant. A bit pricy on kindle but worth every single penny!

A tale for a time being
The woman who went to bed for a year
