Any recommendations for a dystopian thriller - lover of Margaret attwood’s handmaids tale 😊
I live that genre. Swansong by Robert Mcamman. Its actually free on Prime which surprised me. Its like the stand but I think better. There is one scene in a supermarket that made me :eek: . I read it years ago and still remember it
Red Hill by Jamie Mcquire is survivor/zombie but concentrates on the group of characters rather than fighting. It's brilliant.

I have never read a festive/ Christmas book. Please don't banish me from the thread 😜
GET OUT!!!!!!

btw just Incase anyone hears the nasty rumour I read another Christmas book between yesterday evening and now it’s complete lies and I fully deny it.

ETA Marion Keyes does this as well. Her women become depressed, lose masses of weight and are then incredibly desirable.
Every. Single. Time
I cannot STAND Marion Keyes, grown ups has made me think I won’t bother with any of her books anymore, they’re a struggle to get through and I won’t dare listen to the audiobook version of any Irish authors, it’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

Has anyone read One Day in December by Josie Silver? I bought it early in the year but am saving it for the Christmas season.

Also have a few Milly Johnson Christmas books on the shelves too actually. Maybe I should channel @Oohthedrama and start reading them soon...

I haven't read it but it sounds good. I have added it to my wishlist to try and see if it drops down to 99p. I will probably save it for the Christmas season too.

I loved all of Marian Keyes but Grown ups didn't do it for me. It didn't seem like her normal style of writing for some reason

Quite a few bangers on the kindle daily deal list today! Piranesi, The Other Black Girl and Early Morning Riser! Bought Early Morning Riser, I've had my eye on it, it sounds really good! I wonder if the daily deals on weekends are better than on weekdays :unsure: just a theory

Also, finally, a million years after everyone else, I have managed to get my hands on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo through my library! Might try to read and finish it over the weekend, it feels doable, but it's all based on how much I click with it I guess!

I really enjoyed her Christmas book from last year! 😂
and I only read it two weeks ago 😆
and I totally read it over the festive period, last december, not two weeks ago 😐
I read the magnificent mrs mayhew the day before yesterday (I’d previously started it but hadn’t finished it) and my one true north earlier this week and really enjoyed them both.....

I apparently hoard milly Johnson books and hadn't read any of them 🤣

Thanks, I bought The Other Black Girl and Early Morning Riser. My unread books on the Kindle is now 167. I need to step away from this thread.

It looks as though most of the Karin Slaughter books for Kindle are 99p on Amazon today.

Just bought the first 5 Will Trent series books for 99p.

I am actually addicted. This thread should come with a helpline.

I'm around the 1/3rd mark in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and I am not loving it to the extent I'd hoped I would... I find myself rolling my eyes a whole lot more than I should...

Also I really don't care for sapphic romances if I'm to be 1000% honest... I don't know if that's a me problem, or not, so I'd love to know if I'm the only one lol. I guess I'm just boringly straight lmao
