I need some inspiration for what to read next, so what have you enjoyed?

Recently I've enjoyed
A Good Man in Africa ~ William Boyd
The Fear Index ~ Robert Harris
The way back to Florence ~ Glen Haybittle

I like historical / detective / spy but nothing to gory or frightening!
I like a series to get into also, but I'll give most things a try.

Thanks so much for flagging up Sugar Money Olly. I'm a huge Jane Harris fan - The Observations is one of my favourite books - but hadn't realised she had another book out. Have ordered it immediately

Oh, and to add to the recommendations, I've just finished Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave. Set during WW2, it's a love story in part, but also an unflinching account of the reality of living through the Blitz in London and the siege of Malta. Well worth a read.

Read Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng recently and it was quite interesting than I imagined it would be.

I'm enjoying Everyone Brave is Forgiven, the plot rolls along well and the characters hold my interest. Based on the author's family history IIRC.

I am, I am, I am - Maggie O'Farrell. memoir of sorts told in 17 brushes with death. Very powerful

Winter - Ali Smith

The Bookmans Tale - Charlie Lovatt. A widowed book dealer comes across a document which will prove Shakespeare was the author of all the plays but there are others out to steal it. Good quick read about the world of books.

The Mitford Murders - Jessica Fellowes. Murder mystery set around the infamous Mitford family.
