I absolutely loved this book. I listened to it on audible and the narrator was perfect, brought Eleanor to life just wonderfully. I listened to it about a year after I’d read the book, I preferred the audio book to the written book but only because the narrator’s voice and mannerisms were just as I’d imagine Eleanor to sound like. I found myself very invested in her lifeOne of my all time favourites and the one that stuck out to me when I read this thread title is Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. I've found that people generally find it a marmite book - you either love it or hate it! But I absolutely adored it and adored Eleanor. I read it over 2 years ago and still think about it, I think I'll reread soon!
i've read that book, really enjoyed it.Ive just received the murder game from that author.
Finished lately/this week.
The hunting party - Lucy Foley
Loved A Discovery of Witches - series 2 is coming later this year, can't wait!!i have loads on my good reads - i think i am mouse on there too
My book of the year so far is also Eleanor oliphant is completely fine
I love mystery/ thriller and have read some crackers this year
Anything by sabine Durrant, Sarah Pinborough,. Just about to start the All souls trilogy as i watched the Sky TV Series A Discovery of Witches and it ended on a belting cliff hanger.
I haven’t watched the series yet, still have it sat on my planner. I read the first book before it came out and I wasn’t overly taken with it so couldn’t be bothered to read the second. I will probably still watch the series though to see how it compares!Loved A Discovery of Witches - series 2 is coming later this year, can't wait!!
No judgement here for Christmas Shopaholic! I was so relieved it was back to it's former best and not the churning out of any old madness of old. Are there more in the pipeline?Ive just received the murder game from that author.
Finished lately/this week.
The hunting party - Lucy Foley
If I never met you - Mhairi McFarlane
New beginnings at Glendale hall - Victoria Walters. (Chewing gum for the brain, but I’d read part one so felt I needed to tick the sequel off my list)
I read Christmas shopaholic last week - judge away.
I used to love that series but her writing, and her books in general became a struggle to read, this however was really good, it was cute, a solid 3.5/5 but for a series that went off the boil I enjoyed itThat’s probably why it’s got a good score with me because the last few were shit.
I read a lot of Karen Swan over Christmas/New Years. I really enjoy her books.
I need to start reading more than just chick lit
I use goodreads for books so it feels weird here
Currently reading/about to start - the name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Ah I read this for my book club last year. No literary masterpiece but a very enjoyable page turner - which is sometimes all you want. And people can underestimate the skill involved in making a story that compelling with characters so believable. No surprise to hear it’s being made into a series - by reese Witherspoon’s production company I think...Daisy Jones and the Six.

I read 1Q84 years ago, took me ages but I loved it! It’s such an odd book but didn’t feel unnecessarily complicated or try hardJodie Picoult - it's for teenagers but I love it
We've been listening to 1Q84 by Haruki oMurakami. It's really good.
