I’ve downloaded it now too! I knew it was dangerous coming back to this thread 😂

Has anyone read the Seven Sisters?
I haven't read the seven sisters but my mum raves about them (as do all her mates) I got the latest book for her on release day and she read it in a day! And it's huge

I preferred me and you to beach read! I think I finished it last week but forgot to tell the thread 🤣

I saw a review for this and knew I had it in my library,
Started it last night and I’m just over half way, so far

WOW. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT!!!

I’m hoping the ending isn’t a let down but so far it’s in my top books of the year!!
Hope I don’t regret saying that 😂




our thread bonded over this book I think 😂
I have just ordered it. My creaking bookshelves thank you.

No, but it is on my TBR. Everyone I know who has read her books love them.

Thank you both. I think I’ll give it a whirl. It sounds like a commitment but I’ll get the first one and see how I go! I’ll report back - once it actually makes it to the top of my to the read list 😬

I’ve read another hour and ITS SO GOOD!!!!

i want everyone to read it with me, also I’m aware I’m not finished it so can’t be sure how it ends but I CAN’T PUT IT DOWN!!!!

has a Madeline McCann vibe, and the social media/media/blog reactions to the mother and the case aspect is so interesting as well.
I may have just been influenced to download this…

I finished The Castaways last night. I thought the ending was a bit meh and rushed but I quite liked it overall. Started The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo last night too and I’m 25% through already. Im going to be heartbroken when the Euros finish and the Mr wants to interact with me 🤣

Anyone read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo?
Yes I really liked it.

can anyone recommend me some good thrillers? along the same lines as the silent patient etc
I've recently read The List which you can get in The Works as part of the 3 for £5 deal. I thought it was quite good, the reveal was unexpected. Blood Orange is in a similar vein to The Silent Patient, not the best book but readable. I've also just read The Family Upstairs which had some good twists but as a Probate Solicitor I was very annoyed by the total lack of research as to what they should have done (this was actually a really small point in the story but I was sooooo cross at how wrong it was 😆)

The Couple on Cedar Close
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Odd Child Out by Gilly MacMillan
I know we were asked for recommendations, but you’re really not helping me here 😩
I’m going to have to write these ones down on my list, rather than download straight away - I’ve just spent the £15 and the £5 voucher 😂
 
Does anyone know of any new authors with a similar style to Michael Robotham? He's my favourite thriller writer and I've read all of his books.
 
How is everyone getting the kindle offer (spend £15 and get £5 credit) I can’t find an email or anything on the website to click?
 
Anyone read the stand by Stephen king? I’m reading it just now and I’m struggling to motivate myself to pick it up. I get into it when I do pick it up so it’s not the story. I’m starting to think the length of the book is what is putting me off, I read for an hour last night night and my page count barely increased.

Yes I read this last year and absolutely loved it, probably tied for my favourite book last year!

It had me laughing but also in floods of tears. Great book x

Yes, and loved it. Hope you like it too.
Finished The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish yesterday. Really good and would recommend. Lots of twists and turns.
Not sure what to read next from my TBR pile. There are so many...!!

I did like it, but I'm a huge Stephen King fan, I liked the beginning and then the middle, and the other middle (it's so long it changes so much) but not the ending so much, by ending I mean last couple of hours of reading! I think if you're getting into it when reading it you should try and stick with it but maybe turn the 'time left in book' thing off!

I’ve not read The Stand but I’ve found that struggle a lot with Stephen King’s books. I love his writing and the stories once I’m in them but they often feel like a massive slog. I remember reading IT on my honeymoon and it felt like it was never ending!
