A slice of indulgent escapism is what I'm really craving right now, so that's great to hear!Those Mitford books are some of my favourites, they are my comfort reads when I just want to pick something up and get lost in it for a while. I reread them often.
Not seen the TV show, I am scared it will spoil the book.
FAVOURITE SERIESAlso downloaded the I heart NY book that was mentioned here so will start that next
Hard agree, great choice @slugella ! I kind of wish I could experience them for the first time againFAVOURITE SERIES
I loved The Kiss Quotient! I didn’t know it was a series, I’ll have to check that out. Thank youI'm reading The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang atm. It's good so far, a bit cheesy but I needed something less serious as my recent reads have all been a bit depressing about crime and war etc. It's a series too, so I hope I enjoy and want to read the others as I love a series! - https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781786496768
I was on a bus reading TTTW when it got to the crying part, thought I was going to die from trying to hold it in!@slugella Oooh that is interesting to know. Will look them up in the Kindle store.
Just back my holibags and was in a right reading funk. Got an urge to re-read The Time Traveler's Wife so downloaded it onto my Kindle and off I went. Devoured it in four days which is unheard of for me. I loved the book in my 20s and I do still love it over a decade later. Some of the chapters with child Clare/adult Henry sit uneasily with me now I' m older with children of my own. But the story had me quietly sobbing on the journey home today.
It was also a pleasant surprise to read an extract from the sequel The Other Husband as well. Quite looking forward to that when it's eventually finished.
That’s interesting, I preferred the first half!I finished What She Knew. Last 50% was a million times better than the first 50% but I felt really sad at the end.
Been difficult to read much, with Euros, Too Hot Too Handle and Love Island. I dont usually watch much tv but its all come on at once.
sameI’ve come to terms with the fact I’ll never be someone that comes on this thread and introduces a new book for everyone to read
Never thought I’d see a thread where you weren’t savage tbh, it’s kinda emotional.same
(Although blowing my own trumpet I’ve done good with the push, people like her and for some what she knew, I also recommend the I heart series regardless of what anyone thinksand the Johnny be good books if you like those kind of things as well)
and no offense to @Caffeine Fiend AT ALL, you know I love you my Lidl Taylor Swift mate, but I hate when it’s a recommendation on the thread and someone then asks does it get any better as it goes on because they’re struggling with it
I love this thread, I think if I’m taking a recommendation from here and I don’t get on with the book I’d just say I enjoyed it anyway so I didn’t hurt anyonebut maybe that’s wrong of me And I need to grow up being so snowflakey
I'm ploughing through american dirt too only 27% through so far for meHa sorry. I have liked loads of recommended here. Although Ive come to the conclusion if Good Reads like a book I probably wont like itI do try and finish most books even if Im not feeling it.
Ive got Verity to read after it was recommended here and the reviews seemed great on Amazon.
Still ploughing through American Dirt on audible. Its a long one, I think Im at about 50%. Im a fast reader so always feel agrieved when I see the length in hours of some books on audible
Edit - I loved People Like Her. Also have The Push (the correct one!!) downloaded to read too.
I’ve recently read Verity and thought it was great it really kept me hooked and there’s some good twists! American dirt I enjoyed but it did take me a while to get into.Ha sorry.

I vaguely remember reading Pet Semetary but don’t really remember much of it - I’ve got the new film on my Netflix watchlist though.I just finished The Mothers by Brit Bennett and it was really good, really moving in parts. Definitely shed a few tears.
now going to read Pet Semetary by Stephen King - only about 50 pages in but liking it so far. Only read Carrie before and attempted IT so not read much King before.
