I’ve just started How to Disappear on audio and so far it’s very good Screeching tangent here. I remember reading an article that said if you wanted to hear a pretty accurate Elizabethan English accent then listen to the hillbillies from a certain area in the south. As the community is incredibly insular, they've managed to retain accents not terribly far off from the original settlers.There have been a few posts about a line in a book being impossible to read, because it says something like "it's a good job we got a job lot of masks"
To me that's just English but it has blown the Americans minds
Yes me! The daily deals have been utter crap!anyone else’s goal of buying less kindle books going so well due to the absolute rubbish on offer everyday? don’t think ive bought a book this month
The Passengers is part of his speculative fiction/thriller world so real but with a twist (I.e. the sort of thing you could see happening if AI/monitoring etc went wrong) see first screenshot.
He also has traditional psychological thrillers like keep it in the family, see second screenshot.
So if you don't like the speculative side of things you might still like his normal thrillers
I will be reading the others that I’ve got (I think I’ve got one from each of those screenshots) but I thought I’d love The Passengers as I actually really like the speculative fiction/thriller type of thing but it was the writing style I struggled with@Smca53 i agree with @HoGi - don’t let one book put you off. Keep it in the Family is the latest I’ve read of his and I really enjoyed it. Mind you, I absolutely loved The Passengers too
I think he’s fast becoming my favourite author though. I’ve joined a book group on FB and he’s mentioned A LOT. He even posts himself sometimes, it’s great.
On a separate note, I’ve just seen this post on there that made me laugh.

the characters felt two dimensional and the twists just made me roll my eyes 
but I will remain open minded especially as I know he gets rave reviews! I’ll maybe pick from the non-speculative fiction set for my next go at his books
Me too, share the questions! Do I need to buy another book?No but Im intrigued about the questions
Ahhhh, ok. So not a good befuddled more of like a befucked
I cannot read The Winners. I cant lose him. 
I would absolutely follow a Backman fan account!Sorry I am just a Backman fan account at this point but 'Benji never belonged to me'
I'm obsessed with F1. I thought about reading Guenther's book, but wasn't sure how it would read. I read Adrian Newey's How to Build a Car last year and found it surprisingly entertaining.
I was tempted to buy Darling today but because I don’t already own enough books (ahem) I’m tempted to get the paperback 🫣
*Runs off to buy…*preloved is putting my heart through an actual BLENDER guys:

i thought this book was going to be a sweet read about charity shops omg
i would very much recommend it so far! it has hugely surprised me and really captures the ennui of being a woman in your mid to late thirties beautifully (which i know we vibe with)
