Some of my favourite books are the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, it's hard for me to pick a favourite out of them but I really love Monstrous Regiment and Going Postal. I'm currently reading through The Dark Tower series by Stephen King and they're pretty great too.

This is a great idea for a thread I'm interested to see what other people's favourite books are!

Great idea! I can always do with more recommendations too.

Right now I'm reading The Good House by Tananarive Due, and loving it. I'm big into horror!

Also skulduggery pleasant series by derek landy
Geek girl
Embassy row (ally carter)
Girl online (Zoe sugg)

Currently reading looking for Alaska again 😊

The Silent Patient

I enjoyed a book called the Rosie project (about a guy who has autism)

currenty reading duplicity by sybil hodge (I think)

Damaged - The Heartbreaking True Story of a Forgotten Child

Love these, light hearted but great tips. How to be a bawse gave me a kick up the bum 😂 Found them helpful when I wanted to become stronger ❤️

Reading the comic izombie is based on, a nurse gave it to me during a recent admission, it's SO good and totally different to the series

Got some new books while away,
The boy who followed his father into auschwitz
Our child of the stars
Trust me, I'm dead
The daughters of red hill hall

Anyone read any of them? 😊

Anyone got any book suggestions? Need £2 worth of books for free delivery 🙄😂

Forgot to mention yesterday that the book people have gone into administraton so books are selling cheap on their website. You can get collections for like £8

ordered fearne cotton - happy, cant wait to read it!

Has anyone read the Noughts and Crosses series? Was one of my favourites growing up (shows my age) - also has the BBC series at the moment, which is very different to the book, but also an interesting watch.

@Ed_ i haven't.. What's it about? May have to look into it 😁

Well I have 23 books coming 🙈 so will have to wait til next payday 😂 I've never heard of Dr sacks @Aidan will have to look them up!

These came this morning! Already started the 365 days of self care one haha 💖

They made us read the first book in school @Ed_ so sadly I didn't enjoy it too much!

@Past User it's sort of about a mix-raced relationship in a version of the world where racism is reversed.

I read a few years ago The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, I love medical books like that. I'll have to re-read it again at some point or get some more of Dr Sacks' books.

It's interesting that when we are forced to read something, it removes the joy. I had a similar experience with To Kill a Mockingbird at school, when I had to read it for lessons, I really didn't get into it, but then when I chose to re-read it because I had a GCSE exam on it, I actually paid it more attention and it is one of my favourite books.

@Past User - It's what Aidan said. I think what I like about it, is that it really highlights the impact that oppression and prejudice has on people in any form. I think it also helped me have more of an understanding of what racism could feel like, which fortunately hasn't been something I have experienced personally. It also has some really strong themes running through on love, both in terms of amorous, but also through friendship and family.

@Ed_ it actually sounds quite interesting

am I the only one that enjoyed reading at school?

like the books we read at school were okay

I really like Wildcard by Marie Lu. It's about our world sometime in the future, when there's virtual reality. The main character is really tough, and she's a hacker, which I always find interesting.

got the 365 days of self care journal and really enjoying it

Anyone read any good books recently?

got a 'mental health journal' from a friend and think it's gonna be really beneficial for me

it's a 8 week mental health tracker and planner

This sounds excellent! Hope it goes well.

On book recommendations, in light of Dune movie coming out in December, I'd recommend those books. They can be farfetched and the series is long!

Otherwise, I also recommend Memoirs of Geisha, which is one of the most beautiful books I've read.

I have loads of other recommendations, so could keep going, but I'll space them out.

@Past User Memoirs of Geisha is in my basket for payday

love reading other peoples recommendations, and it sounds like my kind of book! Whats your fav book?

Oo such a good question! I have so many, but if I had to pick one it would be Wizard and Glass by Stephen King. It's part of The Dark Tower series, which is 7 books (just in case you haven't heard of it). This is book 4 I think and all of the first 4 books are amazing, but this one is a bit of a tragic love story.

What's yours?

Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien
1974 so quite old, my dad read it when he was in school. Based in a post apocalyptic world. Love this book. There's a film too but it's very different to the book 🙃

I remember seeing the David Lynch film when I was about 9 and read the book at around 12. It was hard going. I re-read it again only a couple of years ago. It's a serious book.

@Past User I love Stephen king films, so will have to give his books a go! Sounds interesting

but me being me will have to buy the whole of the, the dark tower series

I have so many fav books

but if I had to pick one it would probably be The lovely bones, it's sad but so beautifully written
