What to read next?

[KarenB]

Ugh-I need to make a major decision I just finished The Paper Palace this evening. I really enjoyed it and had a strong connection to the setting. The big question is, now what? I have a coast to coast flight this weekend and want to have a good book in place for the trip. Any suggestions?

I’m reading the latest Will Trent novel - I reread all the previous books just to refresh before starting. I also have my book club’s latest ready to go - Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth, so far all the other people are enjoying it.

A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving

It's thick but it's one of the best novels ever, IMHO.

I'm not one to read fantasy at all, but I love a book with a great sense of place. I could not put down Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I'm talking stay up until 3 when you have to be up by 6 could not put down book.

What genres do you like?

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Do you like Stephen King ? His Bill Hodges Holly series are good reads and all his books are rather long

I recommend The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens.

I am in the middle of The Women by Kristin Hannah. It kept me up way too late last night.

I just picked up a book call Obitchuary The Big Hot Book of Death and it looks like a fun read - going to get into it this evening myself. It's only 224 pages though, so it may not be long enough for a long flight.

2 books I like to re-read every few years are the autobiography of Queen Noor and The Stand by S. King.

The next few books I have on my list to read are:
The God of the Woods
The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society (I understand this is a particularly good book)
Black Cake
The Nazi's Knew My Name

Maybe I'll read this then. I'm not into the fantasy stuff much either so I keep "not" checking it out despite the reviews.

This book is SOOO good.

This is my No1 all time favourite book. I first read it when I was 19, I’m now 54 and have read it over and over - still cry every single time. So beautifully written.
