Michelle if you haven’t read this as yet (Downfall) read the novelette ‘Random Acts’ first. I have a paperback of Downfall and Random Acts is included at the end. I say read it first because the time line puts it immediately before Downfall.
Personally I enjoy the J. P. Beaumont series better.
Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides Still struggling through it! Normally a 500+ page book doesn’t take me long but this is so back and forth that I have found myself having to read things over! I feel there are many unnecessary details!! The plot piqued my interest but it has taken almost 150 pages to get to the actual story ?
I struggled through most of this trilogy. No, I would not recommend it, unfortunately ??? I would totally watch this though, if it were ever turned into a movie or TV show
I really enjoyed that trilogy but her iron fey series I couldn’t finish the 3rd book and I like the talon trilogy but I feel like they are lacking , they are good but not great 🙁
The Girl in 6E by A.R Torre. Probably wouldn’t recommend rushing out and buying it, glad I borrowed my copy from the library! It is a fast paced read though but the content was a bit disturbing and quite detailed. So if you can handle all that, go for it! This is part of a trilogy but didn’t really care much for the main character to be honest so won’t be in a hurry to pick the next two up if I pick them up at all! ?????
Welcome. It made me realise how well we actually have it. I read it when i was 27 (am niw 39) and its stuck with me ever since. — I know you posted about last book read. But when something like this sticks in your head you just have to spread the word
The naughty girl’s bookclub By Sophie Hart. Yes I would recommend it. I loved all of the characters. Didn’t want the story to end to be honest. Very much an easy going and humourous book.
Yes @Stephanie, it is. The second is Pop goes the weasel, 3. The doll’s house, 4.liar liar, 5, little boy blue, and 6. Hide and seek . Highly recommend to read them in order. I love this series.
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins … I would if you liked Girl on the Train – I wouldn’t if you’re coming to it new as its a bit disappointing in my opinion
Last book I finished was The Happening at Lourdes, by Alan Neame. It was interesting and if you’re at all interested in healing springs, Catholic history, or French history I would recommend it -if you can find a copy.
“Seeds of Foreverland” by Tony Bertauski. I didn’t hate it, but don’t see any reason to recommend it either. Describes itself as a scifi thriller. Misses on the thriller part (very slow paced – or maybe my understanding is wrong). Some scifi, but nothing heavy or terribly overt. Had a strong (if somewhat creepy) opening chapter. Failed to sustain that. Ended a bit too abruptly for my tastes. Currently reading “The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared” by Jonas Jonasson
Firefall by Alan Watts (Omnibus edition of Blindsight and Echopraxia) because for hard SF fans- it is a riveting, fast paced, first encounter masterwork 🙂
I just finished Stone Angel by Carol O”Connell and I definitely recommend it. A thriller with many twists and turns, wit, and a touch of magic. Very entertaining.
Geekerella. I think I would recommend it…
This is on my TBR. Keen to pick up a fun light hearted read after I finish the book I’m on now. Think this will be my next read ??
In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware and yes I would ?
Been curious about this but know it’s at my library. Probably pick it up soon after I read some of my own!! Lol ??
Empty Mansions . Yes
Sense And Sensibility. Yes. The old fashioned language used means you need to concentrate more than usual though.
I love Jane Austen’s books.
I would recommend Tuesdays with Morrie.
Still house lake ! Yes!! Read it
All By Myself, Alone by Mary Higgins Clark. Yes
Downfall by J. A. Jance. Yes would recommend. Interesting take on family life – especially with a mother that is a sheriff and pregnant.
I love J.A Jance

Nope. I guess this comment is too harsh though. I’ll fix it—now I feel really mean!???
Don’t be….. I have read some series by the authors that I absolutely loved and other that made me gag
