Froglet Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I have just discovered that I have some money on a Waterstones gift card and it’s the summer holidays in a month when I might actually manage to read more than two pages without falling asleep. Has anyone got any recommendations? I do read pretty much anything and am usually a fairly quick reader but recently have been re-reading lots. Audiobook recommendations welcome too!

Cait Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Oh goodness! Where to start?? Do you prefer non- fiction or fiction? Juicy murder mystery or romcom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Definitely fiction. I like pretty much everything - not horror or chilling things (my imagination does things to them after I’ve finished). I read lots of crime (generally of the cosier/golden age variety). I like science fiction and fantasy. I do read romcom things but have a few already. I enjoyed things like The shoemakers wife by Adriana Trigiani. I liked Elizabeth is missing but found it heartbreaking too. I’ll try to think of other things that I’ve read and enjoyed but I really do have hugely eclectic taste.

Mouseketeer Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Have you read ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ books? (Richard Osman), enjoyed them more than I expected to and they keep getting better, just read the 3rd, 4th due Sept. Linda Castillo, the Kate Burkholder (chief of police)series of books are very good, detective series based around the Amish community, really need to read from the start to follow the thread of her life through them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 I’ve read the first of the Thursday murder club books and have just got the second from the online library. Haven’t heard of the other series - thanks for the recommendation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
