The Secret History.

Mrs Reinhart & Other Stories, Edna O'Brien.
Okay if you view it through a historical lens...

Caledonian Road by Andrew O’Hagan

 

[ericalauren]

Circe by Madeline Miller

 

[Rainblow]

Rainblow, did you know despite being very dead Mo Hayder has another new book out! Sounds good too.

Upon reading this I immediately looked it up and...
It's crime fiction!

NGL I never managed to slog it through her last posthumous book. Mind you I haven't entirely given up on it.
While checking out Bonehead I noticed there is a BBC adaptation of Wolf that received fairly good reviews. Of course it hasn't been released outside of the UK yet.

I couldn't get on with that cos they'd changed it up a bit and it was winding me up. Those books were fucking epic.

Circe by Madeline Miller

Fabulous book that. Loved it so much.

 

[Melody_Lightdraft2]

The Kenteride, by Martin Landry.

 

[tyronee]

Colleen Hoover, It ends with us

 

[ChasBozwell30]

The Unlimited Dream Company by JG Ballard, an incredibly surreal book, which is pretty much what I expected from him. Has some extraordinary ideas though...

 

[FataMorgana]

Have you read All the Colors of the Dark yet?

Loving it Lori.

Got a To Kill A Mockingbird vibe. Saint is fabulous.

It's definitely my favorite of the year so far. I was sad to finish it.

Patch is breaking my heart a bit.

 

[Lorilei]

Patch is breaking my heart a bit.

Just you wait.

 

[FataMorgana]

Just you wait.

Three quarters through and I don't want it to be over, ever. Thank god you posted about this book.

I think one reason it's so fucking good is all the characters are amazing. Patch and Saint are two of the best characters I've encountered, you're so invested in both. But the secondaries like Norma, Misty and Chief Nix are brilliant too. A book is never going to gel if you don't give a fuck about the characters and I think I give too many fucks about this pair.

Yes! I was genuinely sad to finish it; I miss the characters. It's just a fucking fantastic book.

Just finished. Read solid most of the day. It's a long time since I cried at a book.

Beautiful. Thanks for that rec.

This is okay but my mind keeps hankering back to Patch. I dropped a clanger and should have picked a biog or summat. This is my rebound book.

I trust your opinion so I'll bide my time until it streams here. I can't imagine any adaptations being as good as her books seeing as they rely on psychological terror and subtleties of human nature that doesn't translate well on the screen. I might give that Danish filmmakers (Herbot, I think) films a chance as Northern European productions are notoriously bleak.

 

[FataMorgana]

Stranger From Across The Sea, Regina McBride (one of my fave authors).

 

[spacekowboy]

Reading up on some of the operations my old man was involved in during the war.

 

[Lorilei]

The House in the Cerulean Sea. I'm loving this one too, Fata.

 

[FeelingLikeMyself]

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi.

I have a thing for high concept, low brow sci-fi. I just finished catching up on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.
