I'm almost half way through The Arrangement and am thoroughly invested.
p. s. I also downloaded Last One to the Party and am almost afraid to read it in case it falls flat for me.

Me too!! Iām probably going to start it tomorrow, but one poster said that they read it in a day, so it must be a good one..
Oh interesting - I really enjoyed it and thought about it a lot afterwards.
What are you not liking? (Difficult question I know).
Same
oh my goodness same only because itās so out of my comfort zone, maybe Iāll just do it now 
I started Girl A last night - enjoying it so far.
Itās my new favourite book, I absolutely loved it!
Hoping to do my full list of recommendations today.. I could talk about books forever so this thread is such a dream!!
Just wanted to add one this morning.. I absolutely LOVED Sweetpea and the sequel In Bloom by CJ Skuse. Itās told from the perspective of a serial killer.. and itās really, really funny! I know that sounds like a strange combination, but it is. Iāve just seen thereās a third book in the series thatās just been released called Dead Head. So Iāll be buying that immediately! Canāt wait!

i need to finish it. I think it's amazing but it feels so real that i have to keep telling myself it's fictional (not easy because of well, global pandemic!)Same
Oops I loved Behind Closed Doors perhaps it was just because it was one of the first books I read when getting back into reading and I hadnāt read anything else in a while!
I like the sound of Sweetpea @Whippeto Iām definitely going to read that.

I canāt recommend that series highly enough! Itās brilliant. The second one was just as good if not better! I canāt wait to read the 3rd.Oops I loved Behind Closed Doors

I enjoyed it - it's a nice easy read but some bits are a bit too close to home at the moment!
Iāve just started it, so Iām interested as to whether it will live up to the hype!! So far so good!

Also.. no oops! We all like different things. My reaction to it doesnāt mean itās a bad book. Thatās whatās great about this thread.. we can disagree harmoniously.
I have always gone by reviews in the past but after reading all this Iām going to consider them but still try things I might not have before.
I enjoyed Behind Closed Doors as well ....
I nearly gave up on behind closed doors it reminded me of 50 shades in a way, such bad writing and such an extreme version of a cliched story line, itās so long since I read it and I know my sister loved it so maybe Iām just overly harsh at times
it reminded me of 50 shades in a way, such bad writing and such an extreme version of a cliched story line, itās so long since I read it and I know my sister loved it so maybe Iām just overly harsh at times I bought Behind Closed Doors ages ago, but itās still languishing in my unread collection. Itās been bumped up the ranks now as youāve all got me curious, so Iām going to have to give it a go. Not sure itās my thing really - think I mustāve bought it when I was on a 99p rampage
The nice thing about this thread is that all opinions are welcome and respected. I have kind of different standards in my head for what I consider a good book. I wouldnāt judge a thriller/holiday escapist read in the same way as a more serious, literary novel. I enjoy a really wide range of genres. Sometimes I just read for distraction , other times to be challenged and stretched mentally.I nearly gave up on behind closed doors
I soooo do agree, at the moment I just canāt take anything heavy, I see āMan Bookerā and run a mile
I have definitely dumbed down my choices in the last while but to be honest I donāt mind once Iām enjoying it.
I LOVE how varied this thread is!! I donāt like an echo chamber
It'd be boring if we all had the same opinions on books (well anything!) I know there are books on these threads that many of you rave about that I have picked up and thought meh, meanwhile I have enjoyed books that have often been panned by the majority. It is what it is! Some of us like Coke, some of us like Pepsi. What I do enjoy is that often books are mentioned that would never have been on my radar otherwise.
Someone was asking a few messages ago (or last thread) about keeping track of recommended books, I copy the ones that interest me into a notes file on my phone. The list is currently 423 books long. My TBR piles number about 125 actual books in my house. Ahem. Scrolling through the list of books I have saved and picking my 'treats' for the month is basically the highlight of the month for me! I justify it by saying I don't drink or smoke so can have this for my vice. My husband would disagree but hey ho!
