"I’ve found myself falling in love with reading books again during lockdown and would love to get feedbacks of books you would recommend. I’m currently reading “the girl who fell from the sky” Recently read “the alchemist” “The forty rules of love” Which I throughly enjoyed ![]() If you can find them, the books in my books pictures are actually a damn good read. Elizabeth Gage is the author and the first is "A Glimpse of Stocking" Not sure if they're still in print or available as e books though. | |||

Beautifully written erotic scenes. Written in the late 80s so nothing modern about it but it's pretty timeless. I love her writing! | |||

"Jodi Picoult always seems to be a good read. I read Small Great Things earlier this year which was a brilliant read. I'm also a big Stephen King fan and I read The Outsider recently too, that was really gripping." Oh I’ve heard good things about the outsider. It’s been on my list for a while, slowly but surely getting through them. I’ll look into both of those ![]() | |||

Grapes of Wrath if you want a difficult but great read xx | |||

"Depends what you like but anything by Peter James would get my vote - he's done a few standalones which are good and his Roy Grace crime series is excellent All time favourite book is Birdsong by Sebastian Faulkes which is a love story set against the blood and guts of the trenches in WW1 and in a similar vein a very good recommendation from one of these threads My Dear I Wanted To Tell You by Louisa Young which I shall always be indebted to Goodnite Girl for recommending as it was a moving and powerful read that draws on actual events as it's basis" Sounds like I’ll have to read that one. Thanks Gemini man ![]() | |||

"The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern Norwegian Wood - Haruki Marukami The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Kiss Quotient - Helen Hoang Those are in the first pile of books I saw and I love them so I'd recommend any of those - Morgenstern, Murakami and Zafon all have that fantastical romantic magical elements to their works. Hoang's is an interesting insight into neurodiversity as well as being a bit smutty and very funny. Shantaram is an epic novel and so vivid you can almost see the beautiful chaos of India before you." fantastical romantic magical elements Is just my kind of read. Thank you Meli. Shantaram sounds really good and it’s just been bought so waiting for it to arrive in the post ![]() | |||

"Chocolat by Joanna Harris You might enjoy the Jackson Brodie books by Kate Atkinson (Case Histories is the first one) For a bit of magical realism you could give One Hundred Years Of Solitude a try by Gabriel Garcia Marquez For crime you've got Karin Slaughter, Jo Nesbo, Patricia Cornwell, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly. Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and The Power by Naomi Alderman. Other authors Dorothy Koomson, Jane Fallon, Diane Chamberlain... " ![]() ![]() | |||

"The name of the wind. King killer chronicles, by Patrick rothfuss. Best fantasy book I've read, just wish the 3rd book would come out already. " Reading The Name of the Wind at the moment. Sadly taking forever as can only dip in and out thanks to lockdown and the kids, haha. Amazing book. Can’t believe it was his first novel. Recommended to me. Well, I was given a reading list, haha, hence now on Patrick Rothfuss, and they definitely have excellent reading taste. Before being introduced to writers like Patrick, I only read the classics really, some feminist fiction, as studied them, and loved them, so this has been great for me. Love literature! Viv x | |||

Hence my ongoing back piece) Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson and Mark Lawrence (the Ancestor trilogy is awesome) but recommend Brent Weeks too. Amazing authors if you like fantasy novels xx | |||

"Anything by Chuck Palahniuk is great. He wrote fight club and most of the books are better than the film. " Wanted to get into Palahniuk, so went to the librarian and asked her what titles they had. She said you can have c.h.o.k.e or blowjob lol poor girls face. Great writer, c.h.o.k.e was excellent. Think I'll get blowjob on kindle. Would recommend dice man, great book and very funny. | |||
