Really enjoying the prison healer! If you like fanstasy in the SJM/acotar style then this will be right up your street too.

Thanks for sharing all your Kindle thoughts!

I have gone with the paperwhite signature and I am sooooo excited!

I've traded in my current Kindle so that will motivate me to get through some of my physical TBR in the lead up to Christmas.

Just started Lessons in Chemistry that I've picked up from the library after waiting on the reserved list for ages. I've read mixed reviews but I'm enjoying it so far!

Can anyone recommend any decent crime/thriller books?

Currently reading Elly Griffiths Dr Ruth Galloway series and loving it

Have read an American marriage and the flatshare , already have shuggie but still to read, and am still debating ready player one…it’s not at all my genre but people I love have loved it!

I hated ready player one, think I’m an outcast I almost never, ever DNF books but I DNF’d that one

I wouldn’t even consider it were it not so highly regarded. But I’ve spent longer reading about it today than I would have spent reading the book itself and I think I’ll keep my 99cent for a worthier cause!

I finished An Island Christmas by Jenny Colgan today. Nothing special but a good comfort read.

I dnf this last year but loved the Christmas bookshop xx

I have just started Twisted Hate by Ana Huang ‍ I heard it’s meant to be the best book in the twisted series! Is anyone a fan of the books x

 

[Caffeine Fiend]

Twisted Games was my favourite but I havent read Twisted Lies yet.

I have just finished this and I cannot articulate how much I loved it. Absolutely stunning a story and beautifully written and with such incredibly crafted characters I’m entirely bereft it’s over.

wonderful book!

i’ve recommended it to so many people (if you’re reading this and like a really good contemporary family saga, this is the book for you)

 

[nbt]

It’s gone onto my wish list!

 

[Carapop]

I feel the cover did it a disservice somehow. On the strength of the cover alone, I’d have assumed a lighter, easier read.

I just read this recently from a recommendation on here and loved it too! One of my faves from this year. V similar vibes to The Most Fun We Ever Had which I also loved - really enjoy books that show characters/families through the years.

It might have been me, one of my favourites of the last year.
