I felt the same about beautiful weird!! Found it odd by the end 😂 I only really carried on reading it because I wanted to know what happened.
Same here I feel It was a waste of my precious reading time
All a bit odd and far fetched

I’ve been listening to Late Bloomer by Clem Bastow via BorrowBox. It tells of Clem’s journey through life with undiagnosed Autism and how she reached her late diagnosis. I really enjoyed it to begin with and have related to so much of it. But, I’ve still got 2.5 hours to go and already feel like I’ve listening for about 6 months, despite it only being a 9 hour book. I’m so ready to move on to something else but don’t want to waste the time I’ve already invested.
If you were looking for another book by a woman who received an adult ASD diagnosis I have only heard good things about Fern Brady's book "Strong Female Charachter". It's sitting in my Audible cue (because I find comedians are often really good reading their own books)s.

My partner (who’s AuDHD) says it’s one of the most relatable books they’ve ever read. ❤

I read this a couple of years ago, fantastic book!

I read it a while back and loved it! I listened to the audiobook and it was just brilliant. A real stand up recommendation!

okay so i pushed on with the corespondent. weirdly i didn’t feel right abandoning it because i could tell it was a lovely book so decided to get over myself and ended up reading the entire rest of it this afternoon. and cried both for sybil and for myself because i’ve never read a book that outlines my number one life fear in such a beautiful and witty way. i’m both glad and devastated that i read it. every progressing letter cracked my heart even more.

it could be either one (for life devastation) star or five (for sheer writing quality) stars so i’m going with three stars even though it deserves more. it’s not the book, it’s me. i wanted to delete it from my kindle but can’t bring myself to 😭😭

I'm impressed that you finished it - it probably would have been a book that you were always curious about otherwise, and now it can go back in its metaphorical box.

Wishing you a lovely comfort read next ❤

Has anyone read husband wife strangers by Robbie vale? It was a good concept but I found it to be very strangely written to the point I looked up the author to see if the book had been translated to English by someone else from his first language. Just wondered if anyone else found the same.
 
I'm a Poirot faithful, but on reflection, I suppose I'm not a detective fan outside of Christie.

Has anyone read Buckeye by Patrick Ryan? It's got great reviews but I'm at about 12% and it's not clicking for me yet - just want to know if it's worth persevering
Not much help but I’m about a third in & I know what you mean. I’m wondering where it’s going but will persevere even though I’m not loving it!

Was just on Waterstones' website to look up a book and it turns out they're having a sale!

I am going to try to resist as just this afternoon I bought a book recommended to me here at a nearby second hand bookstore (This Golden Fleece by Esther Rutter). Thank you all for the knitting/wool recs!

That does help - I'm going to wait until you've finished to see if I should reserve it again 😂 I haven't been able to get much further with it.

The Alex Smith (Kett) and LJ Ross (Ryan) series. My ultimate detective is and always will be Strike
Oh, Cormoran and I are basically married so you can look elsewhere.

Thank you all for the other suggestions, some I have read. Some are new to me
