Currently trying to find something new to read, I am a lover of chick lit but do like detective/mystery stories too and some autobiographies. Really need to expand on my current list open to other genres too!
So what are you reading at the moment/just finished or recommend? |

I love a good chick lit, have you read any of Catherine Alliots books? I stumbled across her books when my train was delayed, I popped into a charity shop and bought 'The Old Girl Network' it had me laughing out loud and I finished it the same day  |

"Possibly not up your street OP
I’m reading ‘No Future: Punk, Politics and British Youth Culture, 1976–1984’ by Matthew Worley. It’s bloody brilliant. "
Sounds too brainy for me lol x |

Probably not your sort of thing, but I'm currently reading, "The medieval treasury - the art of the middle ages in the Victoria & Albert museum".
Not the most gripping - unless you're interested in medieval art.

I'm currently reading The Book Of Lost Things by John Connolly, it feels like it's a bit of a slow burner at the moment but I like it. Then I have Eve Of Man by Tom & Giovanna Fletcher, then I have Unexplained - Supernatural Stories For Uncertain Times by Richard Maclean Smith to read. The latter looks at incidents that were thought of as paranormal and seeing if new ideas in science could help people get to the bottom of them. |

Tattooist of Auschwitz, incredibly sad but gripping, started and got to chapter 7 last night.
I go off Richard and Judy bookclub (think they're partnered with whsmith too), every time and I've always had a really good book. |

That does sound good. Have you read 'England's Dreaming' by Jon Savage? |

I read his ‘Teenagers’ but never got around to ‘England’s Dreaming’. I love music history. |

I’m a massive fan of Peter V Brett, but having to wait until Oct for his next book. My taste is very eclectic, I’m re-reading the Wallander series by Henning Mankell. My favourite has to be Faceless Killers, so as it’s also the first, I am reading that xx |

"I am reading Bones never lie by Kathy Reichs at min.
Love Kathy Reichs books. Patricia Cornwells books are similar x"
I got my mum into Patricia Cornwell, she’s totally hooked, even has the cookbook! She’s into Kathy Reich as well. They’re great authors xx |

I read a lot of thrillers, but would recommend David Baldacci any day of the week! Bloody fantastic!
I currently have a new book waiting to be started in the Richard & Judy book club 'The woman in the window' it sounds like it will be good. |

Think I must have read all their books at least 3 times each, apart from the newer ones x |

An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon (Book 7 of the Outlander series) ... brilliant historical fiction with lots of twists and turns.
I'm so hooked but find I'm too tired to read after a long day at work so have bought the audio version too ... just as enjoyable  |

I had a run of loads of really good books last year, now every book that I pick up is not so great. I'm currently trying to finish "and another thing" by Eoin Colfer, it's the 6th hitchhikers book and sadly not a patch on Douglas Adams.

I'm currently reading a book about the private lives of people in Tudor times and one about the Norman conquest. I try to read one fiction followed by one non fictional but I got side tracked by the Norman conquest book  .
I inherited my aunt's library of mostly fiction but some poetry so my reading is quite varied nowadays |

Stay away from Kafka’s “Castle” at all costs, if anyone tells you to read that they hate you and are trying to get you to pry your eyeballs out of their sockets.

I've been reading a lot of Neil Gaiman recently as Good Omens will be out on Amazon soon. I've also read The Partisans Daughter by Louis de Bernieres, which is beautifully written as his books always are, but I found parts really uncomfortable. I can't decide whether I enjoyed it or not. |

"Thomas More. Utopia.
I thought it was going to be about Atlantis but I don't think it is after all. One page 1 so far. "
Lol
It’s most definitely not about Atlantis, great read though, you should follow it up with Brave New World and 1984 |

"Picked up The Girl on the Train, in a charity shop recently. Whizzed through it, proper page turner."
I thought her next one was actually even better. Into The Water. You should check it out. |

An Inconvenient Death: how the establishment covered up the David Kelly affair.
It's about Tony Bliar and Alistair Campbell's web of lies amid the sexing up of the Iraqi weapons dossier.
After reading the 'Isis girl' thread on here last night, I don't think this book would be suitable for many on here, it's more for people who have the wherewithal to form their own opinions. |

Reservoir 13 by Jon McGregor. Starts off like a crime/missing person novel, but is actually a 'literary' novel - it's an extremely well-written tale of a rural community..
Not genre-bashing btw - I love crime fiction.. |
