ANYTHING by Kate Morton!
She just finished writing her next novel!!!! I absolutely love her!
@Natalia do you know when it will be released?
No. Let me check IG
The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton, release date is 9/20/2018
Sooooo excited
Rattle byFiona Cummins. It is a series. Crime.
Depends on what type of books you like- The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison is really good along with the follow up book The Roses of May. Anything by Lisa Unger as well.
.
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers…. Cinder/Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyers!
Anything by Diane Chamberlain
agree love her!
The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
These are the best books I’ve read in the past year. ?
I absolutely loved The Heart’s Invisible Furies!
@Leah Me too! It’s always the 1st one I recommend to someone looking for a new book to read.
I wish I could go back and read it for the 1st time again. ❤
@Gina yes, it’s beautiful
Looking forward to reading all three of these- I’ve heard good things. I hope they live up to the hype!
@Alison I haven’t read the other two, but the reviews about The Heart’s Invisible Furies I would not consider “hype”, any more than a recognition that any beautiful thing is in fact a wonder. This book is soaring, deep, tragic, gorgeous.
John Connolly
He is one of my favorite Authors ever.
‘Woman In The Woods’ is out in the UK and Ireland this week I think. Will be here in a month or so. Reviews say it’s great: one of the best in the series
@Mark i’ve booked it on amazon.
@Judith it’s a funny thing about John Connolly. I sort of started in the ‘middle’ of the Charlie Parkers series with him: I think it was ‘The Burning Soul’ and ‘The Killing Kind’ (Mr. Pudd :)) and ‘Bad Men’ (which is sort of a stand alone) and I got hooked. I live in Maine and he writes like a wild Irish poet sometimes. It was only later that I found a copy of his first book ‘Every Dead Thing’ at the “free store” at our Town Dump (sort of a Maine thing :)). But I ‘ve always wondered what would have happened if I read Every Dead Thing first; cause it’s the only book of his that I’ve found to be derivative (as most first novels are). It reminded me of William Hjorstberg’s ‘Falling Angel’ (from whence came the movie Angel Heart) and a little bit of Red Dragon too. Weird. But in my mind he’s the best thriller writer on the planet today :). I always try to buy extra copies when they come out in paperback and just hand em to people :)..especially now that I’ve read them all!
@Mark . I started with the Black Angel and got hooked on Charlie Parker.since then i have waited for every new book he wrote. Like his stand alone ones too. Now i’m curious to read Falling Angel. The only other person i know that reads his books is my sister. I also love Michael Marshall Smith. The Straw men and The Upright Man. Both my Favourite thriller writers.
@Judith I have not read Michael Marshall Smith. I WILL CHECK HIM OUT THOUGH. THANKS. :)….a lot of very good crime and thriller writers living and weiting in Maine these days (even John Connolly has a condo here when he’s not home in Ireland). Maine (besides being the most ‘haunted’ place on earth :)) is a kind of geographical dream for a lot of writers…kind of tough to explain
@Mark. It must be something in the air. Does Stephen King live there.
@Judith YEA. In Bangor. In a big Victorian with iron gates
He aleays signs off with Bangor Maine. I just found Michael Marshall on Amazon. He just tacked on the Smith. Downloaded 3 of his books. Now i’m going to binge on him.
@Judith :)..Okie Doke..have fun!
It really depends on your taste. I really enjoyed The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser
I just reread The Mirror. I first read it about 30 years ago. I couldn’t remember the title but it was mentioned here that there were lists for “lost” books. I put in time travel and mirror and found it in no time. It was just as much fun as I had remembered.
Fantastic book. I was trying to explain the plot to a friend of mine and that’s where I heard about Outlander.
I also enjoyed the sober diaries by clare pooley. Completely different books, but I couldn’t put either down
“Shantaram “ by Gregory David Roberts.???
The thirteenth tale
On my tbr list for years now! Still haven’t read it!
I read this for a book group. It was fantastic.
I will look for this, thank you.???
