What are you reading now 2

Recently finished The Essex Serpent which is still in my head, I'm not really enjoying the crime book I'm reading at the moment "Where the Bodies are Buried", but 3/4 through I'll probably keeping going. I enjoyed a previous book by the author Chris Brookmyre, but this is not my cup of tea Glasgow gang war.

Sara53 I have also read the first two of the Lucinda Riley books in the series you referred to, enjoyed the first one more than the second one, "The Shadow Sister" is on my shelf so I will be starting that soon.

Well, I heard someone on radio say that Jilly Cooper's books are underrated and are comparable to Trollope and that some folks read them with a different cover.
At the time DH was in hospital for several weeks. So I found one of Jilly's-Mount-at our lovely local library. I had just read an Alan Tichmarsh book, Bring me Home, so I took that to the hospital to give to my sister to read but I kept the cover and put it on Mount! Lol! Well, it gave me and DH a smile.
I am enjoying it but am overwhelmed by so many characters-mind still fuddled with all the nursing going on. . . .
Have been reading recently some Simon Kernick thrillers lately-very rapid pace and unputdownable. Ideal when keeping long watches alongside a sick relative's bed.

I'm reading The Shadow Sister by Lucinda Riley. This is the third book in a series and just as good as the previous two.

I've just finished The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes. I found it rather disappointing and a bit depressing.

I'm a third the way though Jodi Picoult's book Small Great Things, about a black nurse and a white supremacist in the US.

My last novel was The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry, set in the 19th century. I enjoyed it although I'm not sure it's quite as good as everyone says.

I have just started I am pilgrim. It is very long! I quite like Tim Winton. Australian writer. He was being interviewed today on radio. Enjoyed Cloud street and Breath very much.

I`m reading a book that was passed on to me, The Missing Wife, by Sheila O`Flanagan. It`s okaaaaay, but not really my sort of read, I will finish it though.

I've just finished The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver and can highly recommend it, if you haven't already read it. It covers ancient Mexican and 20th century American history.

If you like historical things with a bit of time travel and relationships - Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is very good. They are big books and 9 so far so lots to keep you going! If you like scary weird ones - Behind Her Eyes was quite good!
