I’ve read most of hers. I started with the other Boleyn girl which was great. Haven’t read her in a while though so there are probably lots more I need to catch up on.

I’ve read all the Shari Lapena ones and loved them. If you like those try Fiona Barton as she writes similar ones and I loved those too.

I used to read all her books - historical fiction with a nice bit of sex !
her Tudor books are good, The Other Boleyn Girl,The Other Queen and the Queens Fool were enjoyable.

Has anyone read the recovery of rose gold? If so did you like it?

 

[twilightgarden]

Great thread! I would catch up but my kindle has an embarrassing number of unread books plus I have a whole shelf of books to read too.

I’m currently reading The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix which I’m loving.

Other recent favourites have been The Silent Patient and The Book of Lost Friends

I’ve got Where the Crawdads Sing lined up to start today! Not my usual read at all but trying to branch out more as I seem to just read thrillers or crime novels.

I'm currently reading The Day She Disappeared by Christobel Kent.

It's OK but she writes weird, I've only ever read one book of hers before, The Crooked House, and that felt the same.

The first few chapters I'm always confused as to who is who and their relevance, them all of a sudden the story clicks and make sense.

On the kindle I have 13 Dates by Matt Dunne on the go. Quite easy reading so far. I always have two books on the go. One for day reading and the kindle for night as Husband needs the light off to sleep!

Just finihed reading normal People, i’m a little disappointed tbh, heard such good things about the book and i just felt a bit flat after finishing it, was looking forward to watching the show.

didnt connect to either of the main characters and the found the whole brother thing was weird.

I’ve got it on my list to read but not sure I’ll enjoy it. Willing to try as I’ve heard so many good reviews.

Thank you to the person that recommended the Jackson Brodie series by Kate Atkinson. Just finished the first and onto the second!
