Since joining the library and this thread I have taken note of recommendations and read a far wider range of books. Some that will stay in my heart forever....
So having recently finished what has been described to me as a fantasy book, and then finally getting my hands on this intriguing book....we'll all I can say is yes, I too have fallen in love with this book and its characters. If you want my opinion for nothing I think it should be made into a film.
I'd rather watch this than all the usual bilge served up at the cinema.....and it's something the world needs to watch with the state the world is in.
As I would self describe myself as a bit of a soft ha'porth I might unfortunately embarrass whoever I went to see this at the cinema with if they made a film of it, as I did find myself sobbing at some points in the book but also laughing at others.
I only know that when I hear the song Somewhere Beyond The Sea next there might be the suspicious glint of a tear in my eye. 😉🙄🤭
ETA forgot to mention it was The House In The Cerulean Sea.

I adored The House In The Cerulean Sea too. I’m not a fantasy reader so don’t have much to compare it to but I think it’s more a hybrid of genres rather than pure fantasy? Either way it’s a beautiful book! Can’t wait for the sequel to come out.

Some of my favourite books EVER have come from this thread, and I have read thrillers, sci-fi and fantasy....all which I'd never picked up before. It has really reignited my love for reading!

I've been a bit quiet on here as I'm in the world's biggest reading slump! One of my worst years for reading. Hoping these two will get me out of it 🥰

I've already finished the Mhairi McFarlane! I saw some people on goodreads say that it should have been a novella, but I'm glad it was a full book, I really enjoyed it!

Also Simon & Schuster already out with the memes 🤭

Finally got round to reading The Thirteenth Tale. It's such a book lovers' type of book (hope that makes sense), I absolutely loved it. Beautiful writing and mystery, perfect combo. Would highly recommend this gem ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


DNFed One Hundred Years of Solitude. Zero stars. It was like reading stream of consciousness of one of its many mentally disturbed characters.

Tenuously linked to books, but I've just finished watching Insomnia on paramount, the Sarah Pinborough adaptation and I really enjoyed it! Also liked Behind Her Eyes, I want to read some of her books but I don't know if i'd be able to get my head around the plot as easily if I was reading it. Has anyone read any of her books?

Twice this week I've read about the most fun we've ever had on here and both times thought to myself I need to add this to my wishlist.

Gone to Amazon on both occasions to find out I bought it in Dec 🙈

I've read all her books and they are easy to follow along with. I really enjoy her writing, she knows how to create atmosphere and keep you glued to the pages. She lives locally so I always thought the area would be in her novels but nope
