I am reading ALWAYS WATCHING, by Chevy Stevens. I am about 1/2 way through it and it is really good.....I am reading all of Chevy Stevens books as I really like her writing.

@sunala Hi. I am actually in the market for a really good book. The kind that you pick up and can't put down right from the start. Does anyone have any suggestions? I use to read all the time and then I stopped. Why? I don't know but I would like to start up again. Thanks.

@Katcat1 What type of books do you enjoy reading?

@CANDLEQUEEN I use to love reading Dean Koonz; that lawyer that became a writer (can't remember his name); some romance novels but not overly romantic. I don't care for Stephen King but other than that I am open. I don't like books that take 2 chapters to enjoy. I want something to grab me from the first page or two.

I think you might mean John Grisham. I used to read all of his books, but haven't read anything of his in a long time....I love Dean Koontz too, haven't read any of his in a long time either......You should go onto the website Goodreads.......It is a wealth of information about books, and you can also sign up to win free books. I have won at least 7 or 8 books since I joined. I love that website......I know a lot of readers on here, belong to Goodreads as well. I will go look at my list of books that I have read lately and post back some that I think you would enjoy!

@Katcat1 Ok Here are a few that I have read, that I really liked......I thought they were easy to get into, they are mostly Mystery/thrillers, but not scary!

The Wife Between Us

Whispers(Belva Plain) an older book, but very very good.

Those Girls(Chevy Stevens)

The Kind Worth killing

Behind Closed Doors

To name a few. I am sure as more people see this post, you get other recommendations as well.......

I read Love Letters From Lady Bug Farm by Donna Ball. This was the third in a series. I enjoyed the first two more but will read the rest of the series as there are only a couple of books left and I do want to find out what happens to the characters.

I also read Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll. The main character was not very likable and the subject matter is serious. At first I thought I didn't like it at all, but as time went on it did make me think, which is one of the reasons that we read. I also read that part of the book was based on the author's own experience when she was fifteen and in high school. So perhaps she wrote this book to work through some of her own demons. Anyway after this one, I think I need what I believe @judaline calls a literary palate cleanser. If I have the source of the phrase wrong please correct me.

I'm currently reading " Little Fires Everywhere ", by Celeste Ng. I'm about 1/4 through it and it is hard to put down. Families, mystery and secrets in Shaker Heights. I just finished " Mrs : A .Novel " by Caitlin Macy. If you liked " Big Little Lies" you will enjoy this.

I am currently reading The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff. It is historical fiction set in Germany during World War II. I’m finding it to be a fast read (which for me means it’s good!).

I've read two books recently which I have liked:

Lost in Translation by Mones

News of the World by Jiles

Now reading The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See. I think I'll like it.

Just finished Poison by John Lescroart. One of his Dismas Hardy series. I didn’t find it that good. 3 out of 5. LM

@Another new name Sue I loved News of the World and also The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. Totally different types of books.

@Lilysmom I tried to read the first Dismas Hardy by John Lescroart, Dead Irish, and had to give it up. Too many confusing characters for me and that usually doesn't bother me. Oh well. I'm sorry you didn't like his latest.

I may have got these recommendations from last month's thread, but I just finished Woman in the Window and The Wife in Between. Both these books have twists and turns. I highly recommend.

@itsmagic- The Orphan's Tale was so good, and it made me cry. Not too many books do that, but this one sure did. Lots of tears!

Little Fires Everywhere was my all time favorite for 2017 so that would be where I would advise you to start. The Wife Between Us and Look For Me by Lisa Gardner.
