Read rivers of london, not too shabby for 99p and you can tell it was a world building foundation book
Currently listening to Ruthless Women by Melanie Blake on audible. Kinda in to it but not gripped. I have Covid so finding it hard to concentrate on anything. The voice reading it sounds like the woman who plays Sheila Bloom in Friday night dinner 
Also started reading (the book- not audio) The Therapist by B A Paris which I’ll pick up again when my head is less fuzzy. Quite intrigued so far.

Not laughing because you have Covid, laughing at the narrator sounding like Sheila BloomCurrently listening to Ruthless Women by Melanie Blake on audible. Kinda in to it but not gripped.

I read The Therapist not long ago and thought it was alright.
Hope you’re on the mend soon
Aww thank you xx
And yes, listen to the sample! Really want her to say ‘Mercedes’ a few times

I read The Silent Patient straight after. Not the exact same type of thing but a thriller/who done it and a page turner
So many people recommended this series to me but it just wasnt for me. Im not into fantasy though and I didnt full grasp that it was fantasy when I bought it
I too got it for 99p a few years ago. Its highly regarded though and I can see why people enjoy it.
I’m assuming you’ve probably read We Need To Talk About Kevin but I’ll mention it anyway in case not
Thanks for mentioning this, as I hadn’t heard of it but it is now on my list. Maybe quite niche but I quite like fantasy books based in the likes of London
the A Darker Shade of Magic series comes to mindNo I haven't! But want to. I am now reading The Couple Next Door.I’m assuming you’ve probably read We Need To Talk About Kevin but I’ll mention it anyway in case not

I didn't get it was fantasy either when I got a copy from a charity shop. I thought it would be sort of DickensianSo many people recommended this series to me but it just wasnt for me. Im not into fantasy though and I didnt full grasp that it was fantasy when I bought it
I read it and it was OK. Don't think I'd bother with another. Something about the whole premise seemed a bit forced.
Have you read Verity by Colleen Hoover? It’s a sort of similar thing.
I finished The Grace Year yesterday. I absolutely loved it, was the first 5* I have given in ages. I couldn’t put it down. Just starting The House in the Cerulean Sea next.
I have read it! I quite enjoyed it
Going to start ‘the baby group’ by Caroline Corcoran tomorrow. Anybody read it? I’ve read so much romance lately I need something a bit darker 
I’ve got soooo many books to get through I’m just grabbing whichever I see first at the moment!

They’re quite old, but I can highly recommend Helen Forrester’s four-volume autobiography, which starts with Twopence to Cross the Mersey. They are about her life in 1930s/40s Liverpool, where her family moved after he parents went bankrupt. Although they have been criticised as the forerunner to the ‘misery memoirs’ they are so well-written and moving. I’ve also read a few of her novels and can recommend Yes, Mama if you like historical fiction.
Any particular areas you are interested in?
I haven't read it but have only heard good things about Lady in Waiting by Lady Anne Glenconner. She was a Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret, and she had the most ghastly husband (by the sound of it). He established Mustique as the party island of the 60s/70s and the book has lots of anecdotes about it and also Royal life.
More a memoir than autobiography, but I always liked Castaway by Lucy Irwin. She answered an ad to accompany a man to live on a deserted island for a year. Fascinating.
Thank you so much, I will certainly purchase this. Sounds like something I would love.
A Life of My Own by Claire Tomalin is superb. I'd highly recommend it.
