I like Imogen Clarkes writing style/stories. Each story (or the ones I've read) start off like a normal family and then you learn about their dynamics and secrets etc. Makes my family (the one I was brought up in) not look so broken!

Any of them! Start with JD Kirk A Litter of Bones then work through the series, then go into the Hoon books, you’ll be crying with laughter by the end! |

I second the Ben Aaronovitch books, especially the Rivers of London books (crime stories with a supernatural slant). |

If you like crime with a supernatural slant, have you tried John Connolly's Charlie Parker series? I love them so much! |

"Fiction:
Open water
Cal
Exciting times
Small worlds
Diary of a young girl/ Anne Frank
Poor
Heartburn
"
Unsurprisingly nearly all the non fiction I read is about racism so pretty heavy. |

Try good omens that he co wrote with Terry Pratchett, not heavy just funny |

"My escapes are Jack Reacher, macho bullshit but it works for me "
Are they the books that had the tag line on the cover 'men want to be him, women want to be with him'? I saw that on a cover of a book once it really made me laugh, think it was a Jack Reacher |

"Have you seen the new series on prime?"
I haven't I don't have Prime, but I've seen the ads for it and it looks better than the films, Tom Cruise never seemed right to play Jack Reacher. |

Oooo thanks for this thread OP! I need to get back into reading so this is great inspiration!
I think the last books I have ready have been non fiction, can’t remember the last fiction book I read sorry! |

Tom Cruise could never be Reacher, he's only half the size of the book character |

If you want some fantasy escapism, can't recommend the First Law books by Joe Abercrombie highly enough, do yourself a favour and listen to them on audio though, they're narrated by Steven Pacey who really makes the characters come alive.
It's not for kids though.  |
