I like books that are between 300-400 pages. Unless I’d heard good reviews I probably wouldn’t pick anything up over this amount. The longest book I’ve ever read is A Little Life, it took me ages, I felt like I was reading the same book forever and it just started to get so repetitive, honestly the length put me off more than the content. I’m just of the opinion that nothing needs to be that long and like someone else said it makes me question the authorGoing back to an earlier post about a reader being put off of a book because of its length, what number of pages has that effect on you?
The Golden Doves by Martha Hall Kelly.Didn't realise there was a new thread, need to catch up! Finished reading the Nightingale, took me a while but I did enjoy it. I usually enjoy books based during World War II. If anyone has any recommendations for more of them, I would appreciate it.
Not sure what on to next but maybe something quick and easy
Kate Quinn is fantastic. I really enjoyed The Alice Network (my favourite of hers), The Rose Code and The Huntress. She also has a new one out called The Diamond Eye which is on my tbr.Didn't realise there was a new thread, need to catch up! Finished reading the Nightingale, took me a while but I did enjoy it.

I adored Firefly LaneGoing back to an earlier post about a reader being put off of a book because of its length, what number of pages has that effect on you?
For me it probably anything longer than about 450 pages. Just thinking of Firefly Lane which is one of my all time favourites. (And due a re-read soon)
Ooo just realised we both recommended a Martha Hall Kelly and now The Golden Doves has to go onto my tbr!The Golden Doves by Martha Hall Kelly.

I read it years ago and have added as a potential reread for my A-Z challenge. I have fond memories of reading it and I’m sure there’s a dram too.Has anyone else read Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson? I've just finished it. Quite an unusual book but I really enjoyed it! Read it for book club (and amazingly finished it a few weeks before I 'had' to as I whizzed through it) and wondered if anyone else had read it while I'm waiting to hear the Book Club Verdict!
I've read two of the books four years ago. I'm not sure that I realised it was a series as I read #4 and #6. I had to look up Goodreads as I remember nothing about them. I gave them 2 stars. So I guess they didn't leave much of an impressionHas anyone ever read the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French? I want to love it but found it hard to get into the first book. I've DNF'd it twice!
I'm really struggling with Betty too. I bought it. So it makes me want to keep reading as I borrow most of my books from the library. It's dragging me down though.Ohh didn't realise there was a new thread already! I'm still halfway through Betty haha and it's only my second book of this yearsomehow I'm too busy in my head to find the time to read haha butI'm sure it'll come back to me
No but I need to read it! (*add another to the tbr*) Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a great childhood/teen/coming out memoir and could be an interesting read to compare to OrangesHas anyone else read Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson?
