I finally got around to reading In Memoriam. What. A. Book. So beautifully written, a few gory bits (which I didnt like that much!) but this book is going straight into my top ten ever. I absolutely loved it.
a gorgeous heartbreaker of a book and one of my favourites of all time (and was in my top ten here!) - i still get emotional when i see it on my shelf
i’m so glad you liked it 
Oooh. That will please those of us who enjoyed The Correspondent! I still think @Harlot O'Scara list was better though!
I just want to go back and read it all again!a gorgeous heartbreaker of a book and one of my favourites of all time (and was in my top ten here!) - i still get emotional when i see it on my shelf
Started reading into the blue. Was only going to read for ten minutes.
oh my.
I’m going to absolutely devour this until it’s finished.

Im so fed up of seeing a book and thinking that looks interesting and it’s either about someone who is left a house and finds a hidden diary that tells a tale of the past, or an elderly relative tells them the story of the past and it all cleverly interweaves.
The books are often quite good and interesting but the premise of being left a house and finding a secret has been done to death, get some new plot devices!

AmateurOnly 100 in the TBR?! Pah!
I find I have a TBR and a TBRE (eventually)Only 100 in the TBR?! Pah!
i hate these types of books
especially because the diary is almost always conveniently written with full conversations and dialogue in a way that a diary NEVER would be. even worse if there’s some moody stranger who works in whatever big house she’s uncovering (usually a gardener) and obviously they FALL IN LOVE.And noone ever just reads to the end where the whole mystery is explainedi hate these types of books
Well I have 4 soon to be 9. Sorry 13.Only 100 in the TBR?! Pah!
And that's if you don't count the books I'm rereading that are up to 45 years old.
And also if you don't count the 8 I'm waiting for from the library.
Oh and there's a few self help books I haven't got round to reading.
So all in all me personally I'm doing bloody amazing compared to previous years!
OMG YES!And noone ever just reads to the end where the whole mystery is explained
kate morton is terrible for this. her characters always read in chronological order a few entries at a time and i’m always like GIRL JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE END WTF
I have read The Correspondent and have a copy of Art Cure waiting to read. But I’ve read the synopsis of The Best Hotel in Kabul and fancy it
Oh yes and bonus points if she already has a nasty horrible partner and he gets dumped for the taciturn but gorgeous gardener with a heart of gold. After they uncover some nefarious plot he has to steal all the money from the estate.i hate these types of books
And it’s always called something like ‘The Wildflowers of Winterton Hall’
I just have a mountain of books - I can’t do tbr as I’m such a mood reader
I have a tbr shelf (okay, shelves…). It’s not in order. So when I choose my next book I stand there and stare and eventually decided 
You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!
Oh well, think positive. I might race through it like I do the J K Rowling's...
