Peri - probably missed you with the time difference, but I absolutely loved Remarkably Bright Creatures. I regret not having read the book before watching the movie. I’ve just finished reading a wonderful book. When The Cranes Fly South. I can highly recommend it.

3:43 pm

periwinkle

Hi Soodle I will look for the book you recommended.

3:45 pm

I have a book to recommend: The Extraordinary Life of Same Hell by Robert Dugoni.

Soodle

Thanks Peri. It’s always good to get a recommendation for a book. These days, I have neither the time or the patience to persevere with books I’m not enjoying. I binged on Ken Follet books earlier this year. Now looking for something completely different.

4:23 pm

Shirlockc

Try T Kingfisher's books Soodle, they're v different, atmospheric and mostly fantiastical . I enjoyed them more than I thought I would
