"Currently reading Midnight Library (Good easy read) and got You Love Me (You*3) which Im really excited to read. What are you currently reading? Any good book suggestions? Happy Tuesday " What sort of books do you enjoy? I’ve got a bit of a random selection on the go; The State of Affairs - Rethinking Infidelity (relationship based, incredibly thought provoking) The Joy of Being Selfish (setting boundaries, learning to say no) Return of the Ickabog (it’s a kids book, I’m not even sorry  )
I wouldn’t mind getting into some ‘chick lit’ but no idea where to start. | |||

"Waiting to start The Tattooist of Auschwitz J x" This is a great book - heartbreaking though! I’m on the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo books at the moment. Read the first trilogy and on the 2nd book of the next (by a different author). Fantastic books! | |||

Look out for that one | |||

"I have quite eclectic taste in which books I read, depending on my mood and where I am (home/holiday). When I just want some easy reads I tend to read chic lit or historical fiction. My daughter often buys books for me as presents and that has introduced to to authors I might not have read before, like Elena Ferrante. I have just finished Philippa Gregory’s Tidelands and enjoyed it so much I bought the follow on book Dark Tides (from EBay as second one is hardback). The first one is set during Cromwell’s time in Selsey West Sussex and then the next book follows the main character to London. The historical detail is well researched and written. I could empathise with the woman at the centre of the story and can recommend if you like historical fiction." I’ve read a lot of Phillipa Gregory but all sound the war if the roses / Tudor times. I’ll have to look the tide books up. Just finishing Rivers of London by Ben Aaronvitch. Then moving on to either From these Broken Streets, based on the Italian uprising against the Germans in 1943 Naples or Court Number One The Trials and Scandals that Shocked Modern Britain, depending on my mood | |||

"Currently reading Swing Time by Zadie Smith, the title of which is just coincidental to the swingers scene
If you haven't discovered Z.S. yet, I would also recommend White Teeth."The only novel of hers that I haven't read is The Autograph Man but I've loved all the others. I've also read some of her non-fiction which is full of beautiful insights. I kind of think that we would have been friends if we had ever met and I don't usually have stalkerish thoughts like that  | |||

"Finished a book the other day called Cities of the Red Night by William Burroughs. Can't fault the wild, imaginative powers of the guy. The first half of the book in particular is startlingly fresh and full of interesting ideas, but as it went on it became a mess of ejaculations, hangings, numerous young men with erections, and confusing personality swaps and body trading." Got to love beat novels written while hopped up. Hunt down the David Cronenberg film of 'The Naked Lunch'. You'll never look at a mugwump the same again. | |||

"I've just finished The Song of Achilles by Madeliene Miller and now I'm on book 2 of the Shardlake series by CJ Sansom." Oh Nell! I've read all of them. Bloody fabulous. You might want to try the Giordano Bruno series by Sarah Parties. Similar, yet different. If you know what I mean x | |||

Happy Tuesday " I've just read The Midnight Library, too.... It did cross my mind about all the swinging opportunities I hadnt taken! All the messages I have deleted!
My recommendation for you is 9 perfect strangers, Lianne Moriarty. Its just about to be made into a show with Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy I think, read before its ruined! Matt Haig has sold film rights for ML, too! | |||
