Looking for my next book

I’ve just finished The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling. I couldn’t put it down. Her insight is amazing.

I have and she is very popular but I’m not a massive fan.
I’ve just finished Whistler by Ann Patchett and thoroughly enjoyed it. She has a lovely cool, measured way of writing, perfect for a summer read but with some substance.

I’ve read some Santa Montefiori and enjoyed them.

My book group is reading The Artist by Lucy Steeds. It’s very summery, set mostly in the S of France. It has a darker side but that’s what makes the story.

A good timeslip novel is Dark Matter, sorry can’t remember the author but it isn’t Michelle Paver’s book Dark Matter ( it’s good but a supernatural horror) so if you google on Amazon both books will come up.It’s really good.

Thanks folks will check them out 👍

I’ve just read two books by Kazuo Ishiguro: Klara and the Sun and Never Let Me Go. Very different from his The Remains of the Day. Not time slip but future based. I thoroughly enjoyed both.

I've just finished The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout, it's a thought provoking book.

Santa Montefiore is my favourite author, and I have read every one of her many books. I am just starting the last in her timeslider trilogy, called The Last Encore, released in hardback last week.
The first (not timeslider) book I read was 'Meet me under the Ombu Tree, which I re-read recently and still enjoyed.
Another favourite was The French Gardener, also the Deverill series. I wasn't keen on the village stories about Flappy.

I have just finished The Eights by Joanna Miller. It is a lovely mix of fact and fiction. It is set in Oxford in 1920 when women were eventually allowed to study at the University. It tells the story of 4 undergraduates who have rooms on Corridor 8, hence the name. They have very different upbringings but come together to pursue their dream of a degree despite the problems and discrimination put in their way. A delightful book.

Retread

I've just finished The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout, it's a thought provoking book.

I’ve read a lot of her books and this one is on my kindle wish list. I’m waiting for the price to go down .

On holiday recently I read The Names by Florence Knapp . I loved it and was sorry when I finished it.

I’ve just finished an old novel “Rogue Male” by Geoffrey Household. Got it in the library. Brilliant!
