What was the last book that really gripped you?

[TittyGajillions]

As in couldn't put it down, couldn't wait to find out what happens next?
I'm in a bit of a reading slump and haven't had that feeling of wanting to sit and just read for a while.
I have a long tbr but nothing is quite taking my fancy.

I downloaded Small Pleasures on my kindle yesterday on a whim after reading this thread and I'm so glad I did
I'm halfway through and really enjoying it
So thank you all!

Project Hail Mary on audiobook. Was excellent and I'm not usually a space sci-fi kind of person.

Mr Einstein’s Secretary by Matthew Reilly.
Based on a true story.

Yesteryear!! Brilliant

Another vote for the DC Smith books by Peter Grainger. The next one arrives on Thursday, and I can't wait!

You’re so lucky to have these ahead of you

Sharp Objects was jaw dropping. The tv series was excellent too.

The Names was good.
I also really liked The Things We Never Say - the latest Elizabeth Strout. Quiet, gentle book about a very sweet man.
Just finished Audition by Kitamura. Was not really enjoying it but the ending turned it around. Very bizarre. Still considering it.

Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell

The Avenue Goes to War by rf delderfield. Just finished it, absolutely lovely, interesting book. Was going to give it a miss but very glad I gave it a go.
