I go through spurts of reading and lately- like for several months- even if I enjoy a book, I feel like I have to force myself to read.
I follow and have participated on the what book are you reading thread and have found some great suggestions... but I think I need to be selfish (sorry) and focus a thread devoted to suggestions of books that:
1- you enjoyed reading
2- still think of fondly after having finished it
3- would classify as a page turner (or almost a page turner)
I am selfishly looking for suggestions of what to read.
To give an idea of books I would recommend that satisfy e 3 requirements above-
1- One THousand White Women
2-Guernsey Literaray
3-Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
4-THe Kite Runner
5- THe 19th Wife (well not totally but it's up there and came to mind)
THank you I will look for the Alice titled books.
Just looking to be drawn into a book and not want to put it down. I think I reached a point where it just isn't working so well so I would like to not work at reading but just love what I am reading.
And, I like both fiction and non-fiction. Probably would prefer fiction suggestions.
I have read only the first Harry Potter book (quite a while ago) and I thought it was excellent, but I didn't find it an "easy" read. I know I am being difficult but I thinkthat is a great suggestion, but I don't know that iI have it "in me" to read more of them (at least at this time).
So I still welcome and encourage any suggestions for excellent reads.
Roses
The Forgotten Garden
The Distant Hours
The Help
Glass Castle
