@Susie Have you read ‘Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine’ by Gail Honeyman? It’s so good?
Synopsis: Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.
Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.
One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life.
Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than… fine??
I’m currently reading The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim, The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang, Peter Pan by JM Barrie, Smart Women by Judy Blume (I loved Forever…, Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret, and Wifey) – great light reading! Just finished The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and I think I’m in love with him. The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King and The Hobbit by Tolkien are my favorites ever!
Sycamore by Bryn Chancellor. Perfume by Patrick Süskind. Notes On An Exhibition by Patrick Gale. The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce. Awakened by James S. Murray & Darren Wearmouth. Waiting For Columbus by Thomas Trofimuk. The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen. The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. Black Seconds by Karin Fossum. The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney.
Jeremy Robinson has about 70 ish books out. There are *reasons* I call this man the Modern Day Master of Science Fiction. If you like science fiction at all, he probably has something you’ll enjoy.
Historical romance, I’ve read several of late: Girls on the Line by Aimie K Runyan, The Liberty Garden by Rhys Bowen, The Spitfire Girls by Soraya M Lane, and The Beautiful Strangers by Camille di Maio.
Romance, check out Karen McQuestion’s Good Man, Dalton. Maggie Dallen writes excellent YA/ new adult romances. If you’re open to non-MF romance, check out Carly Marie, DJ Jamison, Pandora Pine, Mia Archer, Nicolette Dane, or Charlotte Reagan.
