Was given the first three series as a gift but haven't watched them as yet, want to buy the lot before I start watching.
In the past I have usually found the movie or show disappointing after having read the book first.

Both the books + the TV series are really good. One season is being shown on SBS at the moment

@grannyjenn did you read the Outlander series then watch it? Would love to hear your opinion on the book vs. the television series!

This much is True
Miriam Margolyes so funny little bit naughty

I like all books by Conn Iggulden, I particularly enjoyed the Series on the War of the Roses and also the series on Genghis Khan.

"Born To Stand Out" by Star Avery. A great read about the relationship between a mother and "special needs" daughter and their relationship with themselves.

BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS​

This is going to Hurt by Adam Kay

Anything by Mary Higgins Clark or Lisa Scottoline. Both write "can't put down" type books which will get you intrigued.

 

[Jeffo48]

Almost finished "House of Wolves" by James Patterson which I really enjoyed. My next read in "Homecoming" by Kate Morton.

Heron's cry - by Ann Cleeves

 

[Skip11]

DI Morrissey, Bryce Courtney, Monica McInerney, Jodi Picoult are some of my favourite authors that come to mind. I like this thread and will be looking at a few of the suggestions

 

[81 Mariners]

The Jack Reacher set of novels by Lee Child are the most borrowed books at the Bundaberg Library.

 

[Jacket]

For anyone interested in horse racing and allied employment (van drivers, sales personnel, trainers, investigators etc) I would highly recommend the series of books by ex jockey Dick Francis.
These stories/books are hard to 'put down' after one starts reading. Only author whose books I have read more than twice.

I've just bought Kate Morton's Homecoming looking forward to reading it

I wish you all could see me furiously jotting down (electronic!) notes on what books to devour next... Thank you, thank you so much, SDC family

I have always loved reading and like to try different types of books for variety. I utilise the library but have also picked up the Outlander series of books at the local Op shop for a dollar each (bargain!) and anything by Nora Roberts, Bryce Courtney and Judy Nunn are well worth a look. I also love historical fiction set in the times of the royals of any country.

I read heaps of books about 2 a week. I get them from the library no cost.

I also make good use of the library. Free and a multitude of books to choose from. I also sometimes buy them from op shops. One of my favourite op shop shops sells their books for one dollar.

 

[kwazi]

Oi....l forgot to mention these...
1. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn
2. All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
3. Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
AND...
4. Project Hail Mary by The Martian (movie starring Matt Damon) author Andy Weir

Have you read Conn Iggulden's War of the Roses, a good read if you like historical fiction. He also wrote a good series on the Khans. He has quite a long list of books to his credit, I've thoroughly enjoyed all the ones I have read. Still more to go.

@Forbes I am now open to any genre! After reading The Silent Patient which is a book I would never normally read (psychological thriller) I realised I need to broaden my horizons and enjoy some different genres! Do you have any recommendations?

I too enjoyed this book. Love a good mystery/thriller.
