Me too! Hated the film tho, I was so disappointed they set it in America. The beauty of the book for me was that I know that trainline well and could picture the houses.

Thanks Julia…Love Bartimaeus ?! If you want to read similar comic fantasy books, try Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett or Zamonia series by Walter Moers (cannot recommend these enough). Also, worth a look — Carpet Diem: Or…How to Save the World by Accident; Zeus is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure; Mogworld; The Outsorcerer’s Apprentice; Blonde Bombshell; Clovenhoof series; Circles in Hell series; The Good, the Bad and the Smug.
Lucy Maude Montgomery. She writes the Anne of Green Gables series, and though her work is from the early 1900’s, it is still easy to read. Her style is absolutely delicious, and her world so lovely. Reading her is like eating something so good you don’t know how to stop, and if you’re in the mood for something wonderful with no darkness, she is a great author to read! I read all kinds of books, and most of the time, I love something with grit to it, but sometimes I need a break when it becomes too real!
E.J. Copperman. I’m reading the 9th book that was just released right now. It’s called The Hostess With The Ghostess. Start with the 1st book though or they won’t make sense. It’s called Night of the Living Deed.
Lisa scottoline, kevin O’Brien, Linwood Barclay, small great things (Jodi Picoult),friend request(Laura Marshall), Wendy corsi staub, Hannah Jayne books, James Patterson, the lastest book by BA Paris, I’m sure lots more
Thomas Harris, Iris Johansen, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Matthew Reilly. Their art of writing and story-telling is truly amazing!
Helen Phifer’s Annie Graham series. Hanna Morgan Mc Donald. Love the Thomas family series, The Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens Miss Marple by Agatha Christie I can just keep going on and on
I just finished The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I could not put that book down today. It was so wonderful- I loved it. I will get her new book The Great Alone – Alaska 1974. It’s coming out February 6, 2018.
P. S. Has Anyone read her Winter Garden book? How did you like it?
E.J. Copperman, Stephen King, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child-together and separately, Anne Perry, Agatha Christie, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy, JK Rowling, exc.
John Grisham. Liane Moriarty, Richard Paul Evans, Michael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman, Mary Higgins Clark, Tami Hoag, Iris Johansen, Nora Roberts, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway to name a few.
Anne Perry—especially the William Monk novels. When they begin, he’s a police detective who’s lost his memory, so not only does he have to solve the crime, he has to learn about himself and the people that surround him too. The first book is The Face of a Stranger.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. It’s sci-fi.
Gone girl, girl on the train, I see you, I let you go
