So I came here two weeks ago looking for book recs and went with The Enchanted based on a rec by Cdnfroggy. It was so good! Now I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I am not a big sci fi or romance fan. Nor do I care for period pieces, although I did love All the Light We Cannot See. The last book I read prior to The Enchanted was The Light Between the Oceans.

Any thoughts on what to do next?

Oh and I tried The Martian prior and was so bored. I know, I know I'm wrong but I just wasn't into it.

what genres do you like?

aggiebug Mystery, biography, chick lit. Most things except sci fi and romance.

Destiny of the Republic: a tale of madness, medicine and the murder of a president. Is a fantastic NF book

I enjoyed the biography on Dr.Seuss.

The forgotten garden by Kate Morton

Susannah Kearsley is my favorite author. I would recommend The Winter Sea. It does have a touch of fantasy, but is done well.

The Language of Flowers is a good as well.



I presume you have read Gillian Flynn



Eta the rest of that last thought

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

Island Beneath the Sea by Isabele Allende

For fun, chick lit type books, I like Beth Haribson and Kate Jacobs

I just read some chick lit, listed below. I'm currently the Cleopatra biography. Alison Weir writes good Tudor bios, they read like fiction.

The Knockoff (if you like fashion)
Movie star by Lizzie pepper (basically the story of TomKat, its very mindless reading)

Next on my list is Gonzo Girl & A Sudden Light.
