Hi everyone,
As you might have spotted here on the Community before, we have a few avid readers that like to share their book recommendations with the rest of us. A few weeks ago, we have started introducing a monthly book thread but after your suggestions, we have now decided to instead keep our love for books only in one general thread.
Of course there will still be monthly updates but we would like you to join in beyond that with sharing your current reads, long-time favourites and new discoveries in this thread whenever you like! That way we have a place we can share our thoughts and discuss regularly instead of splitting it up in monthly threads.
Saying that, I myself have just started a new book. You might know from the previous thread that I am a bit of a crime novel-lover, so that’s where I found myself again. And with the days getting longer and the evenings lighter, I hopefully also won’t be shaken that easily. This month’s read for me is How to Disappear by Gillian McAllister which evolves around a mother whose daughter witnessed a horrible crime and now disappearing is the only solution for them. With a tagline saying “You can run, you can hide, but can you ever really disappear? . . .” I sure am on my toes already...

A series of books about 'The Nightingales'
Trust me, I read the last book first = Doh!
A different read for me, having read 2 series of 4 spy books by Mick Herron and Alex Gerlis
The Nightingale Girls - The Nightingale Sisters etc
A whole set of 7 books
Good ol' Amazon ... the next Mick Herron book in the Slough House series is out next May. I have it on pre-order.
I carry a book with me when going to the pub to enjoy when there are no friends for me to be with xx
Edited for missed out word.

I'd forgotten about this thread - it got buried in the "upgrade", I guess.
Last book I bought, in July, was Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman.
Not opened it yet, perhaps I should, now the long, dark, cold nights are upon us...

In my post above, number 43 ... I omitted to mention the author of 'the Nightingales' ... = ... Donna Douglas. The novels begin in 1934 & tell the story of the Nightingale hospital in Bethnal Green, the East End of London. The last book, to date, WW11 is still going on. I have really got into the characters in and around the hospital.
