I recorded the series as I’d heard all the hype for the show and book. Decided to read the book first so started it...promptly ditched and immediately deleted the recordings of the show. I just do not understand what was to like about it. I genuinely remember none of what I read, not even a snippet of anything - no idea how it became so popular. I think I must have missed something ...I’ve not read the book but I couldn’t get very far with the tv series. I feel like the only one who didn’t love it
Eleanor Oliphant was my top read of 2020. Absolutely love it.I have such a weakness now for the Asda 2 for £8 deal so I have to stop by each time I’m in
Today’s purchases were ‘normal people’ & ‘Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine’ - I’m so basic I know
Currently halfway through the ‘midnight library’ and I don’t really know what I think of it so far to be honest. Hope as I get further through it I’m more gripped though.
Don’t worry, it’s not a tear jerker. More of an eye opener!I finished If I can’t Have You last night and balled my eyes out I’m a sensitive soul it was gone 11 but I had to put the tv back on I couldn’t get back to sleep...books need trigger warnings for people like me! I‘m going to start People Like Her now...it’s not going to make me cry is it?!
I’m really looking forward to it!Don’t worry, it’s not a tear jerker. More of an eye opener!
What other genres of books do you like?I have listened to all the Audiobooks mentioned recently love Audible.
Another one I loved was American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. Its about the Silk Road. So interesting.
Im listening to the memoir of a Strangeways prison officer atm. Its ok, not sure Id recommend.
I tend to prefer non fiction on audio book so memoirs are good, biographies / auto biographies, true crime. That type of things. Ive also enjoyed books like Invisible Women which was really informative and eye opening. Would really recommend that one. Unnatural Causes was good too but the author annoyed me slightly. This is going to hurt, I loved, so funny.What other genres of books do you like?
Ah ok. I'm only really good for fiction recommendations. Hopefully someone else will have some good nonfiction recs for youI tend to prefer non fiction on audio book so memoirs are good, biographies / auto biographies, true crime. That type of things.

Ive got one about Des Nielson to listen to I got on the £3 sale. Also listened to one recently County Lines about drug dealing in the UK. The same guy also did that also has one about Brexit I fancy. Im planning on using my credit this month for 'The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, its an indepth look at Jack The Ripper victims.
I love fiction but to read. I zone out more with fiction books or maybe I can miss some bits with non fiction and it be ok I have American Dirt to listen to aswell.Ah ok. I'm only really good for fiction recommendations. Hopefully someone else will have some good nonfiction recs for you
have you read this one,I love fiction but to read. I zone out more with fiction books or maybe I can miss some bits with non fiction and it be ok I have American Dirt to listen to aswell.
I think fiction do draw me in more probably so I then struggle to listen and do whatever Im doing and I tend to only listen to Audible when Im doing something else. If Ive got time to sit Id read rather than listen. If that makes sense.
No! But sounds like something Id love...have you read this one,
Discover the shocking truth behind the life and business of Sir Phillip Green
Sir Philip Green is no stranger to scandal. He was once hailed one of Britain's best businessmen and had prime ministers and supermodels on speed dial. But his reputation came crashing down when Oliver Shah uncovered the truth behind his doomed BHS deal. The collapse of British Home Stores left 11,000 employees without jobs and put 20,000 people's pensions at risk. Green eventually paid 363m towards the company's 571m pension deficit. In October 2018, Green was named as the business figure at the heart of Britain's #MeToo scandal. With accusations of harassment flooding the press, and with Topshop's pension deficit rising to almost double the figure that toppled BHS, can the retail tycoon survive yet another scandal? In Damaged Goods, Oliver Shah, the award-winning journalist who first broke the BHS story, shines a light on Green's past and his uncertain future; this is the extraordinary account of the retail magnate Sir Philip Green's fall from grace.
I didn’t know that!Slightly off topic but I didn’t realise Nicole Moriarty and Liane Moriarty were sisters!!
both excellent authors!
could not agree more!! I’ve told a few people who like her work to avoid that book, it was so disappointing.I didn’t know that!
Love Liane, but Nine Perfect Strangers was terrible compared to her others
I have it downloaded but as of yet haven’t got around to it, I sway towards fiction and I need to step out of my comfort zone!No! But sounds like something Id love...
I thought Normal People was so bad. A poor version of One Day.I absolutely loved Eleanor Oliphant! I think I ended up reading it in less than 24 hours as I just fell in love with it.
Normal People is one of the only books I’ve ever given up on. I think I got about 40% of the way and just didn’t care enough to read on. I found it dull as dishwater! Hopefully you find it a much better read than I did - it’s got so many great reviews that I may have just been an anomaly!
