I am just about to finish an excellent book and want something to enjoy as a summer read. I love time slip and found this book ‘Timeslider’ by Santa Montifiori. She appears to be popular. Have you read any of her books please ?

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.

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.
