A book you really enjoyed over the last two years.

I have just downloaded 4 books on my Kindle for my holiday. They were recommended by a friend who runs a book club and said these were really liked.
The Salt Path
Lessons in Chemistry
The Book of Lost Names
The Vanishing of Margaret Small

I really loved the Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel, and have read all 3 twice. Her writing is superb and I enjoy history and particularly the Tudors so these books really were my cup of tea.

TerriBull Demon Copperhead sounds an unusual and interesting book. I think I'll take a look at that.

How to Kill Your Family and
The Stopped Heart

My best two books from last year.

Although I have just started a book right now called Demon Copperhead, a reworking of David Copperfield set against a backdrop of the poverty stricken backwoods of The Appalachian Mountains, so far, really, really good, but 400 pages or so to go.

Hard to know what would appeal to you LovetoPaint but lots of suggestions on another thread, "what is your best novel and why"

The Louise Penny detective series with the detective M Gamache. Wonderful insights and good yarns, not found anything so good in ages.

PS Casdon that is a wonderful book too.

Just finished A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.
A witty, thought -provoking book about a Russian aristocrat under house arrest from 1922, but in Moscow's Metropol Hotel.

A Man Called Ove
Lessons In Chemistry
A Terrible Kindness
Mack The Life -Lee Mack
Hungry - Grace Dent

Another vote for Where the Crawdads Sing and the Slow Horses (and series) by Mick Herron.

The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. It brought back some amusing memories of a project I worked on in Oxford too.

Where The Crawdads Sing for me too.

Monique Roffey’s Mermaid of Black Conch (actually 3 years old)

Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land

Love Marriage by Monica Ali, I really enjoyed it.

Just finished 'Lessons in Chemistry' very funny and thought provoking.

Where the Crawdads Sing is definitely my favourite book of the last two years.

Have you read Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier? It’s fiction, but based on the life of Mary Anning the fossil hunter in Lyme Regis? That sticks in my mind as the best book I’ve read lately.
