The Bone Clocks

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, The Road Home by Rose Tremain (not keen on her others, but t his is great), Kite Runner, We Need to Talk about Kevin, The Secret History, The Time Traveller’s Wife, The Angel’s Game & Shadow of the Wind, Brothers by Bernice Reubens, Wild Swans., Remains of the Day There are a lot of books I’d put in the ‘must be read’ pile, some I read years ago, and some more recently. I like a proper story, not too much fancy-pants description that you are bored rigid, but enough to set the scene and also decent writing!! I’ve read some good stories recently, but not enough to them to recommend as ‘best ever’. Now have re-started Cutting for Stone so am looking fwd to getting into that.
Cain and Able by Jeffrey Archer. It was the book that got me into reading when I was 18 and I cried at the end coz I was so upset it was finished!

The Hunger Games, The Kite Runner, Mosaic, When a Crocodile Eats the Sun, Mao’s Last Dancer (the last two are autobiographys)
Can anyone else not find Cutting For Stone available on Kindle?
The book that really awakened the ‘real reader’ in me was actually The Survivor’s Club by Lisa Gardner. I think that’s the one that then made me thirsty for more murders/ thrillers, many years back!
Lynsey I couldn’t find it so bought the book on Amazon was only £2 🙂
The book thief x
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I don’t think Cutting for Stone exists on Kindle!
Fat chance. It’s by far the funniest book iv ever read! X
Into the darkest corner
Me before you
Shocking pink
Storyteller
I loved Outlander – but wasn’t as gripped by the others.
I am Pilgrim did it for me in 2014..but there’s always that next book!
I am Pilgrim and Me Before You.
Just reading the storyteller, really good x
I just went through all of your books and added a bunch to my to-read list.
Which ones did u add. I too just found abunch I added to my kindle
A fine balance, rohinton mistry and the book of negros lawerence hill
the storyteller-jodi picoult, shes come undone- wally lamb, hunger games series, sharp objects- gillian flynn.
I’m not sure if there is any single book that did that to me but there have been a small handful that left me so impressed, moved, awed and changed by the experience that I would put them on the list. The most recent one was Being Emily by Rachel Gold. It was such a beautiful, honest, deeply felt book that I think i must have cried ten times while reading it.
I have kindle version of Cutting For Stone
The kitchen house
A Thousand Splendid Suns by far!
The Kite Runner was so gripping and amazing that I cryed at the end. When I say cryed I meant sobbed. I loved that book!There is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and the Stieg Larsson Millenium Trilogy. I loved all four of those!
Tuesdays with Morrie
Enjoyed Thousand splendid suns, Cutting for Stone, One plus One (JoJO Moyles)….Loved To kill a Mocking Bird and all Maya Angelou’s books!! So many great books x
A Fine Balance Rohinton Mistry and Wild Swans had also stayed with me
The Light between Oceans!
The book thief, time travellers wife, gone with the wind, Rebecca me before you
The Skallagrigg
Paint the wind – Cathy Cash Spellman. Think about all the time. Great, great book
Thousand Splendid Suns, the Kiterunner and also loved The Art of Hearing Heartbeats and The Book Thief
The Book Thief, Half of a Yellow Sun, Tiny Sunbirds Far Away.
The clan of the cave bear
mark lawrence – “prince of thorns” and the other 2 in the trilogy, similar to game of thrones but without the draagged out plot
The book thief, thousand splendid suns
Hare with the Amber Eyes
Virginia Andrews – dollanganger series
Little Lies ….fantastic!
I have a couple: The Help and 1984. I have one other, but have to look it up-it has a long title
I felt that way about Jessica by Bryce Courtney and the stand by Stephen King 🙂
I finished the Little Paris Bookseller by Nina George at the weekend and it is the most wonderful book I have ever read. I had an ARC copy, it’s due to be published in April. I know I will read it again .. not something I say often but it touched my soul.
I’ve requested that book too Grace! Thanks for your comments
I loved The Collected Works by A. J. Finky… So a book about a book store
And… The End of Your Life Book Club was really special, also
